Get To Know Donna (In Her Own Words)

"I taught myself to sew when I was a very young 20-year-old, who was starting a new job and needed a quick wardrobe. I moved on to sewing for the home when I purchased my first house. When my daughters started collecting American Girl Dolls, I found I could make most of the clothes in one evening... and that was it. I was hooked by the instant gratification!

Designing and sewing for American Girl Dolls has become a passion for me. Partnering with Pixie Faire is a both a thrill and an honor!"

Q: What’s your favorite sewing tip?

Q: Is there a new hobby, craft, or skill you’d like to learn?
Donna: I’d like to learn to knit someday.

Q: Who is your favorite doll?

I really had fun sewing the Wash Day Apron and Clothespin Bag that I made for my Kit doll. It was fun using 1930s repro fabric and finding wood clothespins for the bag.

My favorite is the Empire Silhouette Dress. I like how the cut of your pattern designs flatter the doll figures and are well dimensioned. Your designs have a quiet elegance in the evening gowns, dresses and even in the fun summer outfits.

Answering this question is like answering which child is your favorite! I have enjoyed a number of your patterns including but not limited to the 80’s Party Dress in a plaid silk; The Holiday Maxi Dress in lace and red quilted silk; The Hawaiian Sundress embroidered with shells; The 1930’s Play Dress. But I really love cobbling the Equestrian Riding Boots. Congratulations on your many lovely patterns. I studied flat pattern design in college but won’t re-invent the wheel when someone as talented as you already has done such lovely work.

I own several of your patterns but my favorite is tha autumn faux fur vest. I have made it about 4 or 5 times and it is easy to following and the result is beautiful. I made one of white fake fur for a “hippie” outfit – it came out great!

I love the 1930s ruffled play dress. I think AG used to make a dress similar to this for Kit, but if they don’t, they should! I love to have the ability to recreate historical wardrobes for the classic AG dolls.

The Hawaiian Pa’u Hula Outfit was one of the early patterns I bought. It was quick and easy and my daughter was very happy to put it onto Kanani. It looks great sewn up with batiks if the printed scale is smaller.

I absolutely love your Awesome 80’s Party Dress. It is SEW versatile. I could dress it up in black silk or down in a yellow gingham checked print or even use flannel for the cutest nightgown ever, make it long or make it short, move the bow to the front or back or neck. I’m already dreaming about all the ways … Quick! I need fabric! haha. Seriously, love it. Thank you.

It is hard to select just one pattern. If it really came down to one pattern, I think it would be the peppermint snow combo pattern. Ive used several parts of that pattern for other outfits as well as making several of the total outfit. I also love the 70’s maxie holday skirt and the ballet slepper shoes. Thank you for creating such fun and pretty patterns. Judy
