My grandmother was born today (Jan, 5 1900) 123 yrs ago. She taught me how to sew. She sewed as a “housewife skill”. I sew because I “go into my own world” according to my mother. I started when I was about ten sewing for my dolls. Later I sewed almost everything I wore. .As an adult 18 ‘dolls are my favorite. My last granddaughter likes Disney Animatores. Now that I am old, I’ve switched back to sewing for both cloth and hard-bodied dolls. I sew doll clothes for my granddaughters and for charities.

For me, it isn’t the era of clothing that matters most, but the doll for which the item is designed. Right now, I am most interested in every day clothes (so maybe it is modern) for Caring for Baby and Wellie Wishers.
Ashley

I’m most interested in clothing from the 1800’s and the early 1900’s. Basically Caroline to Kit 😂. It’s so interesting, especially with the dolls closer together, to see how things slowly change throughout the decades. I wish we had more dolls from the 1800s, but I’m so glad Claudie came out last year to fill in the incredibly fun gap of the 1920’s!

I find it difficult to choose! I love Jane Austen era fashion. I also love the various decades of the early 20th century — from the dresses and gowns of the early teens, to the simple feedsack dresses of the 30’s, to the full skirts of the 50’s. I’d love to see these eras in patterns for AGAT dolls. Thank you for your generous giveaways and providing a fun site to visit again and again!

I’m most interested in the Victorian style fashions, but as a history buff I love all time periods of history and the clothing people wore. That is what attracted me to the American Girl dolls when Pleasant Doll Company first released their dolls.

Mid Century Modern all the way here! I’d love to see anything from the post war period to the 1970’s! I’m going to try to make a boomerang coffee table for my ganddaughter’s AG doll this winter! And dolls look so cute in Jackie Kennedy pill box hats!

I’ m most interested in current time period clothes because that seems to be what my customers want. I sell my clothes to Moms and Grandmas and they want clothes like their little girl are wearing. They look at the period clothes but always buy the current time period.
Cassie
January 05, 2023
I like the look of the 20’s on other people, but not on me, so I think it’s a great idea to make doll clothes inspired by the 20’s. I personally like the 40’s on myself.

I’m most interested in sewing for the current time period. I might sew an occasional historical costume, but I give away all the clothes I make at the end of each year, and little girls love to see the dolls dressed in the same clothing they wear. I spend a lot of time trolling the little girl clothing sites.

I’m most interested in the middle ages time period/style fashion as it was a time of great change as well as the the 1900-1950s as it’s a time that showed need to recycle clothing for financial and war efforts. It is truly amazing what they would do :)

I’m most interested in the 40s then the 20s. Two time periods not explored by the pattern makers. In the 20s, the breakout from the Victorian era with no bustles, high necklines and long skirts! The 40s! Wow…visions of the tailored suits and shoulder pads worn by Joan Crawford. The big band singers in their off the shoulder dresses. The suits men worn by Cary Grant, etc. a great opportunity to learn tailoring techniques and advanced embellishments. And the hats and purses during both those times periods! Wow!!! The Tonner dolls are perfect for these time periods!!!

Darlene

Right now I am interested in the modern period. It all depends on what the girls want. We’ve done Civil War (1861 girls school here in Columbia, TN) to the Flintstones. I try to make matching outfits. Heirloom, Halloween costumes, princesses, you name it. That’s why Pixiefaire is so great. We just need patterns for our larger dolls. 32” or so. I. Tired of altering childrens clothes for them. Thanks Cinnamon
Carol
January 05, 2023
I guess I love it all! I know girls like to have dolls that look like them and express their interests. But I also love that fashion can be used to help girls understand about other times. I especially like the historical patterns that include information about why those styles were in vogue. A new doll dress can become a tool for teaching history or make a long-ago relative or literary character “come alive.”
Erica
January 05, 2023
I’m most interested in most historical time period/style fashion. It’s hard to narrow it down to one. I do really like folk costumes from different cultures. As well as some fantastical stuff, like big capes for red riding hood, etc.
