Looking for more pattern for the Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math enthusiast? Check out our growing collection - Styles For The STEM Enthusiast!

Giveaway Update: Congratulations Ruth Ann!  You've won the GOTY doll and pattern package and have been contacted through email.

Here's a closer look at the 18 inch doll clothes patterns featured in today's giveaway:

Your 18-inch doll can jump into action with this detailed flight suit from Koski Kreations! Design Details Include: One piece jumpsuit, zipper front opening, patch pocket detail, welt or zipper pockets, elastic back detail, and patch creation instructions. Create hours of pretend play with this aviator pilot jumpsuit. This basic one-piece jumpsuit design can also be used to create a variety of looks for trade professions like plumber, mechanic, or exterminator. Use this sewing pattern to create outfits for your girl doll or boy doll.

Is your 18 inch doll dreaming of flying to the moon someday?  Get him or her ready with a super cool astronaut outfit! The Mercury Flight Suit consists of a zipper trimmed (non-functional) top attached to pants with a zippered waist, gloves and a detachable helmet.  The pattern also teaches you how to create your own one of a kind space agency patch to compliment your new suit.

Your doll will look chic and trendy with this classic bomber style jacket. All the details are spot on from the realistic zip placket to the knit bands trimming the edges. This jacket is fully lined and features raglan sleeves, and a fully functioning front separating zipper. *Zip placket is optional and jacket can be made without it. There are so many looks you can achieve with this jacket depending on your fabric choice. For an urban look, try a satin, nylon or faux leather/suede. For a contemporary, girly look, try a floral print in cotton or rayon. The raglan sleeves also make it fun to combine solid and print together. Have fun creating your fashionable aviator style jacket!

The Old School Backpack is functional and trendy whether going to school, dance class, sleepovers or just looking awesome. It features a ton of options that are only limited by your imagination. The PDF sewing pattern features three pocket options: a zipper pocket, simple pocket, pocket with a flap; or keep it simple and leave the pocket off. You have the choice of a trimmed or untrimmed main flap, a plastic buckle option with the zipper pocket or a buckle with leather/vinyl stop for all options.

Every doll needs this Zip Through Hoody on cooler days. It features a contrast hood lining and double sleeves with tapes, as well as contrast zip detailing. Soft two colored french terry fabric and cozy side patch pockets mean a chilly day won't stop playground adventures for your dolls. Choose your own fabric color combinations! Start with selecting three or four colored heat transfer and use these colors in your project. Grey melange is the basic color in my project, as it goes well with any color; therefore I use grey melange fabric for the hood lining, facing and all bindings, no matter what colors I choose for other pieces of the hoody.

Sugar and spice, and everything nice!  That's what you'll be baking up, wearing your new HOLIDAY BAKER Apron & Oven Mitts for 18" dolls from Flossie Potter. This apron design is also perfect for lab work or your next robotics class. The front pocket detailing is great for notes or tiny tools!

Finally—an overall pattern for 18” dolls that really fits*!  This versatile PDF pattern is loaded with options for customization:  shorts with cuffs, full-length pants, an easy elasticized waist, a contemporary drawstring waist with real grommets, and two separately drafted patterns for straps that offer the choice of using commercially-made purchased buckles or button-covered snaps.

These cute slip-on shoes are as sweet as candy!  Your 18" doll will love wearing these with all her favorite capris and shorts.  Have fun mixing and matching the colors of the fabric and eyelets to create lots of fun colors to go with all of your doll's favorite outfits!

Nap time! Put on your nightie, grab your blankie, and let's take a nap!  Get your sleepyhead ready with this PDF pattern from Love U Bunches!  This cute little raglan sleeve nightie is made from a t-shirt or lightweight knit fabric. The nightie has an overlapping hook and loop tape back closure and fold over elastic trim. The binding on the blankie is made with satin or grosgrain ribbon. Are you getting sleepy yet? 

This versatile dress pattern will quickly become your "go to" pattern. It's easy to create lots of different looks by varying the fabric, sleeve length, and skirt length. Make the above the knee dress length in a fancy fabric.  Add some lace and you've got a special occasion dress. Choose a playful knit in a shorter length and pair with leggings to be ready for a birthday party! Or get ready for the outdoors in the shirt length paired with jeans!

 

Whether you've been sewing for years or are just a beginner, there's always room to learn something new! Maybe you want to perfect a skill or pick up some new tips and tricks for some of the more challenging topics like Sewing WIth Knits, Adding Embellishments, Making Shoes, and Getting Organized are just a few examples. Here at Pixie Faire, we have been working hard to bring you fun and informative classes and are always looking for ideas for new classes and topics for Sewing With Cinnamon! We'd love to know what you'd like to learn or perfect :) In the meantime, be sure to check out our collection of On-Demand video based sewing and design classes.

Both the Design Academy and the Pattern Academy are excellent!
Pattern academy very hands-on. So much valuable info. I learned s ton AND I can go back and re-watch these videos after taking the courses.
Recently signed up for Sewing with Cinnamon and have enjoyed the few videos I’ve had a chance to watch.
Being able to watch these on your own schedule and also return to them is extremely helpful.

I have sewn all my life, but I have yet to complete a satisfactory set of undies. A bra is not necessary, but I think it’s charming to undress a doll and find that she is clothed to the skin.
