Hi everyone,
On Friday (April 18, 2014) we'll have one of the following four patterns available for free. This week the theme is summertime sewing featuring the inspiring work of Liese Brouwer at Doll Tag Clothing.
More About Doll Tag Clothing: I am a mother of 3 living in South Africa. I come from a sewing family and started at a very young age. My mom and granny taught me everything I know. My favourite baby doll clothes I own were made by my granny... she added the most beautiful detail with lace and bullion roses. I fell in love with American Girl while travelling in the United States and couldn't wait to start sewing for her. I now have a little girl and the fun begins. I am also part of wonderful and creative family in the Hatched in Africa community. It is a place close to my heart. My mom, sister, 2 aunts and I are all part of this amazing world. I love to digitize for the embroidery machines!
Help us decide which one of Liese's fun patterns should be free by voting below. Then come back on Friday to see which pattern won and get the free download.

Love the shorts….oh maybe the skirt….no the bag….ok ok the sporty shorts is my vote!!
I figured out a way to not miss anything “EVER AGAIN” I had previously checked ‘like’ on Facebook but have today also checked ‘notifications’ also, on Pixie Faire. That way if you do not send out an email, I will get one from FB!
I missed getting the email also, and I did check my inbox and the site and filled in the poll too! Then waited to get the email on what had won…was one sent out? I love all of these patterns and especially the shorts…so sad ;o(
@Bev, Anddree, Gloria, Anita, and Deborah,
Sorry to hear you missed it. We do our best to get the word out for these short-term offers. In this case the Sporty Shorts were listed for free for 24 hours – all Friday. We also announced it on Facebook as well as on the Pixie Faire homepage slider. It was also in the “Free” pattern category all day. We’ll have another fun pattern listed for free this Friday – simply visit the site and look at the homepage slider or the free category.
I have to add myself to the list of folks wondering if we missed the announcement of the winner. I’ve gotten all of the past ones but didn’t get any notification for this one. (which I was really excited about.)
