More About Liese & Doll Tag Clothing: We'll let Liese share her story with us in her own words...I am a mother of 3 living in South Africa, 2 boys and a girl. I come from a sewing family and started at a very young age. I fell in love with American Girl while travelling in the United States and couldn't wait to start sewing for her. When my daughter was born the fun began! I published my first pattern 3 years ago at PixieFaire and the journey has been a blessing in so many ways! I am also the proud owner of a small doll line called South African Girl Doll. I believe that every girl should have a doll of her own that she can love and dress as often as she pleases. This is a girl's dream world. Letting Girls be Girls.

Thank you so much for your generosity. Ever since I found this site I have taken advantage of the free patterns that are offered here. This week I vote for the UK holiday top. I believe it will adapt nicely to a peasant top (which I wore in the early 70’s) that I see making a comeback. Again, a big Thank You!

Believe it or not I had an outfit like this when I was a young preteen….my mom had made the long pants and it could also be made into shorts and top was a halter top instead of a bikini top…..really weird too, I was just wondering to myself if I still had that pattern! I love you guys!
