I LOVE the luggage! Dolls need to get out there. Ideal destinations: Mimsy Toys, Narnia, Wonderland. Like the enclosed printout for passports, American and Canadian, and boarding passes .I like the sofa. Dolls should be comfortable at home. And the red wagon.. The huaraches! I’ve got enough vinyl to giftwrap the Taj Mahal and it needs to be doll shoes. My kids used to wear huaraches in Baja. I should be able to adapt this shoe and the Corra.ck. knot sandal for my many Sasha dolls. There are many very doable shoe patterns..

I have many of your patterns, Meg. To ask which is my favorite would be kind of like asking which one of my children is my favorite. So my answer would be the one I am working on at the time.

I have so many of Miche’s patterns! I think I like the Pixie Sweet Slip-on’s the best. I am always impressed with the results when I make any of her patterns! Even though shoe making isn’t as much fun to me as creating outfits, I always find that I love the way it all looks together when the shoes are added! As my granddaughter says “Grammie, it’s all about the accessories”!

MARIAN

I love to cobble shoes. In fact, I make a pair of shoes for each outfit…so I love all the Miche Design patterns. Among my favorites are the Bow Tie Slip Ons, Buttonstocks, Fringe Loafers, Walking on Sunshine, Oxfords, but I have made so many of the others. I also have enjoyed the Amish Outfit and the Indian Sari. The shoe patterns in 14,5" and 18" are frequently my go to shoe patterns although they have inspired me to create patterns of my own. Thank you for your design work and the inspiration.

I love the bow-tie slip ons. I was brave enough to try them and so glad they worked out so cute. I’m still working on “neat” looking shoes, though. I want to try making that couch for 18" dolls next.
