A FAVORITE CULTURAL TRADITION I TAKE PART IN OR FIND INTERESTING IS… A CULTURAL PATTERN I WOULD LIKE TO SEE OFFERED AT PIXIE FAIRE WOULD BE… “Tradition” sounds like it’s something one does at regular intervals. On the other hand, I’ve got lots various cultural stuff going on constantly but only the Major Holiday traditions are celebrated regularly. Looking for in patterns? Native American, Scottish, Eastern European, Italian, French . . . embroidery, beadwork, weaving designs . . . would be nice. I suppose Baptisms, First Holy Communion, Birthdays and Weddings would fit into the equation. Always looking for various clothes for dolls for those celebrations. Sorry this is the best I can do with this inquiry . . .

A cultural tradition I take part in is Pascha, an Orthodox holiday that is the same thing as Easter ;-) We have a late night service and eat hard-boiled eggs that have been painted red. A cultural pattern I would like to see offered at Pixie Faire would be more any historical Asian and Middle Eastern clothing. But I’d like any sort of historical and cultural clothing, really.

I don’t think I have a cultural tradition but I always look forward to Christmas and Easter when we celebrate the birth, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, the Savior of all. I have to say I do not have any suggestions for a cultural pattern I would like to see offered at Pixie Faire. It seems you currently have available many styles of clothing to choose from. Thank you for all you do!

Our Christmas traditions seem to evolve as children become adults and parents get older. One thing we still do with our kids (and grandson) is fill each other’s stockings on Christmas morning. Over the years I‘ve made sequined stockings from kits for each of us, starting with my husband when we were dating. This year I made 5 mini sequined stockings for my great-niece’s AG dolls. I’d like to see Christmas Around the World patterns and craft ideas.

My favorite Cultural tradition….how about something Jewish. Two candlesticks (wooden beads) to say a blessing and a special dress to be worn to services on Friday night. Hanukkah, again a dress but using fabric with holiday pattern and a hanukkah menorah with nine candle holders. Just a couple of suggestions.

My favorite cultural tradition is decorating my Christmas Tree. I have been collecting ornaments , one every year since 1980. This year my ornament came to me in thanks for my bean dip at my last Christmas Craft Show. I also won several of my Christmas gifts for my family at the raffle there. So this year everyone had presents for Christmas.

We love the Christmas Holidays and I love to decorate our tree with handmade ornaments (mine, friends and from around the world). Our family roots have been blended basically from Europe and the South. Prime rib, Yorkshire pudding, creamed spinach, etc. for Christmas dinner. Seems like we like the latest movie (or TV) fashions – such as in Little Women. Pixie Faire already has a great collection of costume and period patterns. Just type in your wish to find these patterns. What I select must be a do-able to the finish garment.

Something I do each year is tell my children and grandchild about the various ornaments on our tree. Where or who they came from, where we bought them, just any interesting bit to hopefully give more meaning to the ornaments they will some day have on their trees. When I see eye rolls I know they’ve heard that story several times and remember it! A favorite is ornaments from my parents’ first tree after WW2. My plan is working!

A cultural tradition I take part in is Passover. Though we have no Hebrew heritage in our bloodlines we celebrate Passover simply to pay honor to God’s greatness and the traditions with which Christ grew up. As many of my adult children and their children who can come do so. We serve lamb and have unleavened bread (which we make ourselves). I usually make up a batch or horset and our bitter herb is fresh horseradish, the hot kind! We may not do the ceremony perfectly but we do this every year out of our love for God.

A cultural pattern I would like to see is more Native American clothing, consistent with various tribes’ traditions. Not all tribes dressed the same! Do some research and come up with patterns that reflect typical garb for several different tribal backgrounds and label them as such.

Thanks for listening!

I love to celebrate being a child of God. The birth,death and Resurrection of Christ. My Grandmother started a wonderful tradition when I was young, she made ornaments that would decorate our Christmas gifts which were always something she had knit or sewn.

I live in a part of Ohio with many Amish families. Our property joins with one Amish family. Their traditions are very interesting to me and how family oriented they are. They are great people and will help you anyway they can. All the Amish in our area know me “as the English lady who has horses”. Their youngest daughter loves looking at my AG dolls as theirs are very different.

My favorite cultural traditions are getting together with family to trim the Christmas tree and collecting cookie cutters for holiday baking.

I’m impressed by our pioneer and immigrant ancestors’ culture of thrift. Recycling and repurposing are still important today. Sewing doll clothes produces so much beautiful scrap material. I simply can’t throw it out. So, I would like to see a line of patterns aimed at using these wonderful snippets. My thrifty dolls want to use their remnants

A favorite cultural tradition for me is Advent. I love the anticipation and the excitement and joy when we finally get to celebrate midnight mass… but then I also adore Lent and never fail to cry when we sing Allelulia Easter Sunday.

Something I would like to see would be a collection of ethnic/traditional holiday outfits from around the world, with embroidery files that would allow a bit of authentic flair for each outfit. Many cultures have astonishing needlework…

A favorite cultural tradition I take part in or find interesting is every year I make date nut bread and cookies to send to my children and grandchildren. Although this isn’t anything I sew, it is a tradition I started years ago and my children patiently (more like impatiently) await their package every December. However, a cultural pattern I would like to see offered at Pixie Faire would be patterns of a variety of aprons for our dolls who love to bake designed to depict various countries or possibly doll quilts with a design signifying particular cultures. I don’t have that much of a creative ability to design them but I have an exceptional ability to follow directions and sew them. For all the folks at Pixie Faire and all their followers I would like to wish each and everyone of you a very Happy New Year!

A favorite cultural tradition in our household is the annual day-long Philadelphia New Year’s Association Mummer’s Parade. Intricately themed costumesin bright colors, music (live for the string bands), incredible choreography, feathers, sequins, dancing and parasols — all tremendous fun! For family members involved with one of the clubs, this is often a year-long event. For participants, it starts early in the morning, and continues until late in the evening, with the Fancy Brigades, followed by parties on 2 Street and around Philadelphia. We especially enjoy the String Band division, talented musicians play and perform skits as the last of the parade members to strut up Broad Street on New Year’s day.

The ladies in our family are members of the DAR (Daughters of American Revolution). This past year we have really enjoyed the cultural reenactment events at which we wore period correct dress…stays, bum rolls, mop caps and of course the gowns. All made by my sister and with one exception, done by hand.
Our youngest received a Wellie Wisher doll for Christmas and we have been busy making clothes and shoes. It would be great fun to have some colonial dress patterns to make, so that we can share this tradition with her.

A favorite cultural tradition I do with my children is bake Belgium Lukken cookies at Christmas. They are made one by one on a special Lukken “book style” iron over the stove. I am lucky enough to have my grandmothers original Lukken iron that she brought with her from Belgium when she imigrated to the US after World War 1. One batch makes about 12 to 13 dozen cookies. We also do Advent Calendars before Christmas and always set up a Nativity scene. A pattern I would like to see is a Toy Soldier from the Nutcracker Suite. Any of the costumes from the Nutcracker would be welcome. Then the dolls can have a Christmas ballet to attend.

A favorite cultural tradition I take part in would be cooking Italian dishes for my husband who is 1st generation. Both his parents came from a small town in Italy. A cultural pattern I would like to see offered at Pixie Faire would be any traditional costumes.When I was little I had a cousin who had an amazing collection of small dolls dressed in traditional costumes from all over the world that an uncle would send her. In addition, my town is known as the “International City” as we have so many ethnic groups here. Every June there is a festival and a new queen is crowned….the girls compete in heritage costumes from the nationalities they represent.

I don’t have a specific culture I celebrate except I am a child of God and serve Him. He is my everything and has been my peace and healer through the death of my son. When my boys were growing up at Christmas I wanted them to know Christ’s birth was the most important and we only had a 4 foot tree but had a manger with a baby Jesus that sat by the tree. It was a life size one to show them the birth of Jesus was the most important. :)

I “A favorite cultural tradition I take part in or find interesting is celebrating The Three Kings Day. On this day, children receive presents from the three Kings, in the same way Baby Jesus received presents from them. A cultural pattern I would like to see about this tradition is already offered at Pixie Faire, it is “The School Nativity 18” Doll clothes". This pattern includes customs for Mary and Joseph, the Shepherd, the Three Kings and the Angel. This pattern is so beautiful.

A favourite cultural tradition we have is giving out Hong Bao, or red envelopes with money. These are mainly given to children. Like many have commented, I would love to see more international clothing from all parts of the world, especially with authentic details that are scaled down well for children. Many have asked for a kimono. Having lived in Japan and knowing a little bit about the etiquette of wearing kimono…one way of folding it is only done when you are attending a funeral. Many Westerners are unfamiliar so cross kimono randomly. Don’t worry though….it’s only a detail, your dolly will survive, LOL!

I think any cultural patterns would be a great add as the US is a cultural melting pot!

A cultural tradition I take part in is Lucia Day. I love the natural materials used in Scandinavian holiday decorations, and the crown of candles Lucia girls wear to celebrate the dark winters in the Northern climes. The white robe with red sash, and wreath headpiece, would make a great pattern!

My family always have fondue on Christmas Eve and then attends Christmas Eve services. On Christmas morning, we open stockings first, have breakfast, then take turns handing out gifts. A different person opens their gifts first each round. I would love to see cultural outfits from Sweden, Norway, Ukraine, Vietnam and so on.

A favorite cultural tradition i find interesting is Chanukah, probably because it is different from the holiday traditions my family celebrates. A cultural pattern I would like dot see offered at Pixie Faire would be the choir robes worn at midnight mass – is that considered cultural? .

We don’t have any particular cultural tradition since wet have many cultures in our background but am blessed to be a child of God so we celebrate Christ birth, death and resurrection. But a traditional dress I’d love to see is the North American Cree traditional dresses. We live among the Cree nations and I sew lots of traditional doll clothes for various cultures and would love to sew something that’s local
