Can someone please explain to me how this works. If you vote on Friday what time of day do we come back to see what is free? I’ve came on the last couple fridays but still don’t understand where to get the pattern from. I didn’t vote because I didn’t know the pic of the patterns was below and didn’t know what each item looked like. I’m buying patterns, but have not made anything yet. Thank you.

I love all the patterns, but voted for the slouch boots. This will be my first endeavor on making shoes. Thank you for all the free patterns. I get so excited on Friday’s waiting for the new patterns. Sewing helps me relax from a stressful job and life’s up’s and down’s. Merry Christmas to everyone.

I don’t plan to EVER make doll shoes because I already have too many doll clothes that I want to try. However, I’m loving these slouch boots that are just adorable.

The slouch boots was the FIRST pattern I bought from Pixie, so I vote for the Lace-up Boots. That pattern can be shortened to make the high top sneakers, if using different fabric. But ALL of Miche Design shoes are winners. I have several now. Thank you for Fridays, they make my week !

Thank you so much for your generosity. Meg’s patterns are amazing. I have them all except for the lace—up boots, which of course, is my choice for the freebie. They turn out so well. My granddaughters LOVE them.

They are all so cute that it’s hard to choose, but I decided on the high top shoe. They look like the black high top tennis shoes I wore for PE many years ago. Thanks for all the wonderful patterns you give us.

Hello,
I voted for the slouch boots but anyone would be great.

Oooo! it has to be the slouch boots, as I can see the fabric in my box just trying to get out already! I love the comment posted about “her granddoll” it is so appropriate, as my little granddaughter considers her doll as a sister! Cinnamon and Meg, can you confirm if these patterns will fit the Canadian Maplea dolls. Their feet measure 3 inches long! Blessings to you both for your kind generousity. I have finally done most of my reviews on garments sewed over the past 2 months and can hardly wait for Christms Eve to see the expressions. It is quite the wardrobe and all have turned out just beautifully. I have never purchased shoes yet, because I am not sure that they will fit, so thanks for advising me.

i already have the slouch boots and the canvas slip ons. The shoes are delightful. I made the boots but have not glued them together yet but they look to be winners also. Love the patterns but looks like I won’t be getting the freebie this week because the slouch boot appears to be in the lead lol.

This is the toughest choice of all, I will vote for the slouch boots but all of them are just gorgeous. Merry Christmas.

Happy camper here no matter which pattern wins — may vote for slouch boots due to versatility? I have Meg’s Botas, but not made them yet, so fabulous to have a second shoe/boot pattern, as they’re badly needed in sooo many colors/styles! THANKS again for all you do and to Meg for offering a freebie for this upcoming exciting Friday!!! ;)

I voted on the slouch boots because it’s winter and the girls really seem to love boots. The sole looks so different from anything I tried so far.
And I am amazed at your generosity in providing free patterns. I just keep seeing more things that I like on your website.

I want to thank you so much for the free patterns. I don’t know how you girls have the time
for all this. The slouchy boots will be fine for me, really any of the patterns are fine. I am
truly thankful for all of you and Merry Christmas to all of you.

I have coveted the shoe patterns on PixieFaire ever since I first discovered them. All of these patterns are ones I have wanted so it is truly difficult to chose just one pattern.
Finally I am picking the Slouch boots just because they could be the most versatile depending on what fabric is used, dressy or casual.
Thanks for making this week SO hard to pick just one!
Carrie
December 10, 2014
this was a really tough choice, they are all so cute! I did have to side with the slouch boots, mostly for the materials :)

I want to quit work and play all day with these cute patterns. My 2 Grand daughters got AG and Bitty Baby for Christmas. So I have been sewing up a storm and loving it. Grandpa is going to build them each a clothes rack and using 2 old doll beds I had is refurbishing them into very cool beds for there dolls. Can’t wait to see their faces and hear the screams of joy and best of all the hugs and kisses. Thanks for all you do!

Such a hard choice this week. I found it very difficult to choose but finally decided on the slouch boots, but it really doesn’t matter which one wins. I look forward to your Freebie Fridays each week, and thank you so much for your gifts.

I chose ankle slouch boots as they appeared easiest to me. I’ve never created footwear before and thought these might be a good pattern to start my footwear career. The granddolls will adore slouch boots to coordinate with their Pixie Faire outfits. Thank you Cinnamon and Pixie Faire and Meg.

I love all these designs – but if it is winter (and it is in the UK) dolls need slouch boots
many thanks for the give-away whatever wins
