On Friday (July 22nd) we are offering a free doll clothes pattern from Designer Karen Sherman and her Jelly Bean Soup brand. Be sure to vote now and return on Friday to get your free copy!
More About Karen Sherman: Making and designing doll clothes, for me, came about by accident. My granddaughter had an American Girl doll and wanted me to make a cheer outfit for her doll that matched her cheer outfit. (She was part of a competitive cheer team at that time). Of course I made the outfit for her. Soon after she got the little outfit, we went to Dallas for a competition. She took her doll who was all decked out in the matching outfit. At the competition her teammates saw what I had made and wanted an outfit for their doll. So I took orders to make more. Later that day we went to the American Girl doll store in Dallas. I was ‘TOTALLY HOOKED’. Sometime later, we came upon the Liberty Jane and Pixie Faire web site and the rest is history.
Vote Now For The Freebie Friday Pattern:

Your American Girl loves to look her best in whatever she wears and for whatever she does. You will love this PDF pattern because there are so many options for choosing fabric.

The patio dress is my first choice since it is stays summer in Tucson until October. The Jacket would be my second choice. The PJ’s are cute but I wouldn’t really use them since I generally don’t make doll pjs.

“Jaimie (the AG doll) says she NEEDS pajamas and she loves the sleepover pajamas” said my granddaughter, Jaimie’s mother.
“Victoria, wants the sleepover pajamas” said my grandniece, Avigalil.
So, I voted for sleepover pajamas as that’s what their “mums” said they wanted.
And I’d like to make them pajamas… so easy when I get to make two at once.

July 20, 2016
I’m voting for the sleepover pjs because by leaving off the fancy trim and using boy print fabric, I can use this pattern for my AG custom boy doll as well as all the girls!. I have the jacket already, but will be happy with any of these patterns as they’re all so cute. Thanks Karen!

Love them all. But my vote is the Sleepover PJ’S. Cause you can make this pattern for the 15 " And 18" doll.
Gayle Jones
July 20, 2016
I like the vintage pjs!
Tove
July 20, 2016
Ohhh WOW!!! Karen, it is almost impossible to make a choice between these so well designed patterns. Each one has a wonderful potential to make doll clothing sewing both fun and interesting.
However, if I must vote, it will have to be for the Patio Dress because we are in the middle of summer with an incredible heat wave – the dress looks so cool and wonderful.
Whichever one wins the vote will be made x 7, one for each of the 7 grandchildren’s AG doll.
Thanks so much for your generosity
