I shop mostly at Joann’s fabric for whatever I might need, I am from a small town.I having been sewing for so many years, I am well supplied with most anything and everything.. I do like your patterns, I get the Friday freebies. I bought one a few weeks ago that was called the Sleuth of 1930, my granddaughter loved it. I even learned to make shoes from tape. The hardest thing is making shoes like boots and such. I’m also good at crocheting so I would say my granddaughter is pretty lucky for getting so many clothes for her doll.

I have the hardest time finding small buttons that look correct in scale. I did get some from HomeSew and I love their grab bag of trims – just enough for doll clothes. It’s really hard to imagine how buttons will look against the fabric.

“I have the hardest time finding [tiny zippers, just the right small buttons for the project I am doing and I have had to shorten zippers and used other things than buttons to serve as buttons.
When finding fabric now I tend to go look at Value village or a thrift store for small patterned fabric already made up to make smaller outfits with it. Really still into recycling which is what I did when my kids are small by making their clothes out of adult clothes.]”
