On Friday (March 17th, 2017) we'll have one of the following four doll clothes patterns available for free. This week we're featuring the work of Jennifer Serr. Jennifer is Owner and Lead Designer at Bonjour Teaspoon Patterns - A sewing pattern company specializing in Classic Style for the Modern Girl & Her Doll. She's a San Francisco Bay Area mom (to Emma - 12 years old), with over 20 years in the fashion industry and over a decade of teaching experience, Jennifer is also Owner and Lead Instructor at The Sewing Room - a sewing workshop for kids, teens and adults.
More About Jennifer in her own words:"While on a couture tour in Paris, I met a very special little pug named Teaspoon. Teaspoon represents all things cute and fabulous to me and thus inspired the name of this enterprise. Now a little dog named Magic keeps me company in the studio. I started out designing patterns for my students to use in my classes. After a while, some of them wanted to make clothing for their dolls and they introduced me to Liberty Jane Patterns. Impressed by the stylish clothing patterns that were offered, I decided to make doll versions of my girl patterns. Combining my childhood love of dolls along with my fashion industry background has added a wonderful layer to what I offer my students at The Sewing Room."

I was torn between the Annie Ruffle dress and the Cate Shift dress, as I can see both on my AG dolls. There is so much that can be done to either of these wonderful creations, making them just the way they were designed, varying your fabric choices, adding or deleting ruffles or belts, making the buttons the center point, etc. I could not make my mind up so I flipped a coin and voted for the Cate Shift dress.
Joyce
March 15, 2017

Each one is so stylish! And don’t be afraid of the KNIT fabric lounge jacket pattern. Jump in and quickly master knits, using the correct needle and stitch on your machine, paying attention to nap stretch, and make a matching one in the girls sized pattern! Thank you for offering these delightful patterns.

I asked Lily. She likes the button down the front ruffle dress. I think she likes the buttons all the way down. It is very elegant. She also likes the belt and she will be making on this color. She thinks the jacket is too old fashion for her dolls.
