More About Jeri and Peppermintsticks, (in her own words)...
I’ve always been a girl that loved dolls. One of my favorite memories is when I was about 5 years old and my mom surprised me with a new outfit she had sewn while I was at kindergarten. I came home and walked into my bedroom and there was my Tiny Tears doll standing up in her toy crib just like a real baby. She was wearing a new flannel sleeper and cap. I felt just like a real mommy. You know, one of those Suzie homemaker toy commercials that plays in slow motion. It was just like a dream. My mom made many of the outfits with her 1964 McCall’s pattern. She taught me to hand sew with the scraps, alongside her as she sewed. It's these types of memories that inspired me to sew for my own children and friends. After all, creative imaginations love big wardrobes for their dolls. Thank you for your support over the last few years and I hope you enjoy your free pattern!

My 25th Great Grandchild was only 5’15" and so very tiny. I made him shorts using one of the `8" A.G. patterns and they fit him just perfect.

Super cute swimsuits! And there’s still some summer left to go!!
I would like to add another voice to the ‘WW vs AG’ issue. As someone else mentioned, when the WW smaller size patterns are up against the AG patterns, the AG larger size always wins. Could there be a 1X per month ‘small sizes (WW) only’ featured designer? Or else multiple smaller sizes? (WW, Ellowyne Wilde, BJD, etc.) Thank you so much for the Freebie Friday pattern program, it’s awesome and I’m just asking to make it
a little more awesome-er!

Thank you Jeri for being the pattern sponsor for this week. Your patterns are so detailed and easy to sew. I already have your capri and tie blouse patterns and they are both so cute. I don’t have the skirted swimsuit which is adorable so voting for it with crossed fingers.
It’s always so fun and I wait with such anticipation for Friday to get here so I can download the chosen pattern. And by Monday I see little outfits already completed on pinterest.
