Hi everyone,
On Friday (March 4th) we are doing a very special double Freebie-Friday! We will be launching a new permanently free pattern from Diane Cusack of 18 On Main as well as a one-day only free pattern from Liberty Jane.
More About Diane Cusack and 18 On Main, (in her own words): For me, it’s all about that little spark of magic that happens when you see kids touch a new outfit for the first time. How they touch it and look it over, inspecting all the little details. I try to design pieces that will keep that spark alive long after its sewn. It’s a great compliment when I hear adults say my patterns remind them of their youth. Success? It’s knowing I’ve brought a smile, maybe taught something new or added some fun imagination to their play. I enjoy designing pieces that kids can really play with. It’s magical job to know that I’m in the business of designing smiles for little faces.
Here is a sneak peak of the new permanently free pattern:

I voted for the fabulous Liberty Jane jeans!
Have the Jeans Bundle and also High-Waisted Jeans, so just putting a thank-you comment here for ALL you do for all of us 18-inch doll lovers! Just referred another friend to you whose DD recently purchased her own JLY AG with her savings — she’s thrilled to have found you too!!!
LOVE the boot cut jeans!!! So had to get these right, and these look perfect! Thank you!’
Like so many others, I bought the Liberty Jane’s Bundle of Jeans a long time ago. In fact, it may have been the first pattern I bought from LJ/PixieFaire. Love them. Made a ton of them. I have found it’s best to use stretch denim &/or comparable because of AG dolls have those Flintstone feet (which allows them to stand really well -) and it can be challenging for a child to get the pants on. The pants look great especially if you distress &/or embellish them. It’s great that you are offering them on Freeby Friday because these are absolutely the best fashionable jeans for AG that I have ever come across. Of course, this means that I’ll be voting for the 80’s come back – High Waisted Jeans! ;-D
I vote for the high waisted jeans.
