More About Peggy In Her Own Words:"Hi, I’m Peggy and I love sewing—especially for children. This is a fairly recent discovery for me, as I have been sewing since I was nine years old, but mostly for adults. When my twin granddaughters were born, I discovered how much I loved sewing for them. And since they were little girls, I wanted to make a safe, soft cloth doll for each of them. I tried lots of doll patterns, but I wasn’t happy with the results, so I finally made my own pattern. These dolls became a big hit at local craft shows! It was such fun to make them, clothes and all, but making shoes for them was hard. After I enrolled in the Liberty Jane Design Academy and later the Pattern Academy, I became quite interested in designing my own doll shoes and clothing patterns. That led to my first published pattern: The Sweet Sneaks, a machine embroidery pattern, which I published with Pixie Faire in 2017. Soon I began publishing more shoe patterns, and sewing patterns. And now, you can get my doll design and other toy designs, my machine embroidery shoe designs, and lots of my doll clothes patterns too, all on Pixie Faire! Thanks so much for your support of my creations. I am blessed to be able to offer them to others on Pixie Faire!"

More About Each Pattern:
SEWING PATTERN: The St Francis Jacket Designed To Fit 18 Inch Dolls Such As American Girl®:This stylish little jacket for your 18” doll has only three main pattern pieces and is easy to make. It requires only a quarter of a yard each for the jacket and lining fabric, and is fat-quarter friendly. The jacket is fully lined for ease of construction and easy wear, and there is even a lining tutorial to help with all steps of stitching the lining, especially the sleeves! The classic raglan sleeves are so simple to sew, yet allow for animal ears to be added, and the round neckline allows for a cute tee-shirt or collar to peek out underneath, or a fuzzy scarf to wrap around your doll’s neck.
Complete the look with a stretchy pair of leggings, boots, and a hat, and your doll is ready for the great outdoors! Your jacket can be decorated with your choice of four adorable designs: cat, dog, bear, and lamb. You’ll want to add all four designs to each of your dolls’ cool weather wardrobes!
MACHINE EMBROIDERY DESIGN: Bella's Bow Tied Booties Designed To Fit 18 Inch Dolls Such As American Girl®: Bella's Bow-Tied Booties were inspired by a pair of crocheted baby booties that caught my eye. When I realized they were somewhat similar to my own high-topped shoe design, Bella's Bow-Tied Booties were underway. I revamped my stitched high-top shoe, adding a few adjustments to the size and shape in order for the tongue to overlap the heel and be assembled last, and adding eyelets along the top for the shoestrings. The result was a cute little boot that is both trendy and easy to construct in the hoop. It is versatile enough to be used with woven fabrics as well as craft vinyl and faux leather. Best of all, it is super-cute, tied with a bow either in the front or the back.
These shoes are designed to fit 18" dolls such as American Girl® and can be stitched with a 5x7 hoop or larger. And, for your convenience, this design works with the Pixie Packs Pre-Cut Shape 1 soles, or you can cut your own soles with the Liberty Jane Shape 1 sole template provided.
MACHINE EMBROIDERY DESIGN: Bella's Bow Tied Booties Designed To Fit 14.5 Inch Dolls Such As WellieWishers™:Bella’s Bow-tied Booties were inspired by some crocheted baby booties that caught my eye. When I realized that they were somewhat similar to my own high top stitched shoe design, Bella’s Bow-Tied Bootie design was underway.
I revamped my stitched high top shoe, adding a few adjustments to the size and shape in order for the tongue to overlap the heel and be assembled last, and adding eyelets along the top for the shoestrings.
The result was a cute little boot that is both trendy and easy to construct in the hoop. It is versatile enough to be used with woven fabrics as well as craft materials such as vinyl and faux leather.
Best of all, it is super cute tied with a bow, either in the front or the back!
This style is also available in the 18” size for dolls such as American Girl®and can be stitched with a 5 x 7 hoop or larger. And, to make your construction simple, this design works with the Pixie Packs Shape 2 Pre-Cut Soles, but a template of that sole shape is provided for your to cut your own.
MACHINE EMBROIDERY DESIGN: The Cat-tastic Dress Designed To Fit 14.5 Inch Dolls Such As WellieWishers™:The Cat-tastic dress was inspired by our rescue cat and our granddaughters' love of soft, stretchy, fun clothes to wear. This applique design features ruffle-trimmed sleeves, a dropped waist, and a skater-style skirt that is meant to hug the hips and flare out at the hem. (A gathered skirt/sleeve ruffle option is offered as well.) This style dress fits best when made of a slightly stretchy fabric. And, because it is a “hoodie” designed for cooler temperatures, a variety of standard fleece or sweatshirt fleece fabrics work well. It is also fun to experiment with the newer terry knits and the sweater fleece prints. The design calls for a hook and loop closure, but you might want to experiment with snaps, buttons, or a zipper.
This outfit is designed to fit 13-14.5" dolls such as WellieWishers™, Hearts for Hearts Girls® and Corolle® les Cheries.
Take a look at the patterns:
We'd love to hear from you! Leave a comment below and thank Peggy!

I have to agree with A>C> today. So many of us out here, love our 18" dolls. But we do not have an embroidery machine. Nor do we have the !4.5" dolls that others are so happy about.
I do thank you for the jacket pattern. It is very cute. I appreciate your generosity!

I appreciate the freebie patterns, but I really wish you would stop doing voting with other sizes against one AG-sized pattern. The AG pattern will always win by a large margin. Can you either just not do voting for these things (the outcome is always obvious anyway), or make all the potential designs for the same size of doll to make it fair for non-AG sizes?

Thank you, Peggy. But what a shame that a sewing pattern was pitted against the embroidery patterns. Most people don’t have an embroidery machine (I get that), so the sewing pattern gets the votes. I would have loved to try the Cat-tastic Wellies dress. Besides the dress size that I desire, I too, have a couple of rescue cats… that own us!

I prefer the St. Francis Jacket. I don’t have an embroidery machine so the other patterns would not do me any good.

Thank you, Peggy, for allowing us to have one of your cute patterns. I’m voting for the St Francis jacket as it has so many variations. I like the cat dress too but we don’t have Wellie dolls so am hoping the jacket wins.

Thank you, Peggy. I vote for the St. Francis jacket, as it seems to be the only one which does not feature machine embroidery and I do not have an embroidery machine. Actually, I like it best anyway. :-)

Well, I guess I’m voting for the pattern because my machines are way too old to do embroidery! Thanks for contributing to Freebie Friday, Peggy. It’s designers like you who keep this fun.

I chose the front yop because I am not sure my machine can do your embroidery, Mine takes the cartridges for embroidery. But I do love the tops with the cats or dogs faces!
Cheryl

I voted for the Cat-tastic dress. There are so few dress patterns for the Wellie Wisher dolls, and this one is adorable! The basic form is adaptable to many versions in addition to the cute appliqué shown.

I voted for the awesome cat hoodie dress!! So what if I don’t have an embroidery machine…that dress will look JUST as cute without it. AND, I can also make a cute hoodie by leaving the skirt off.
Thanks for such cute patterns AND including some smaller doll patterns. And for the Freebie Friday program, much appreciated!

Thank you Peggy! I vote for the patterns. The animal faces are so cute,and I don’t have a machine that can do the type of embroidery for the Wellie wishers.

I love the look of the booties, but am too new at sewing doll things to even think about machine embroidery. I am hoping for a basic machine for Christmas, as my machine somehow disappeared while moving a few years ago. You might inspire me to look into the machine embroidery thing, as your work is beautiful.

What a cute array of patterns. I’d LOVE to have the wellie shoes make it but since it requires an embroidery machine they probably won’t. ight have to treat myself to that pattern for my birthday. We have 2 new Glitter Girls who wear the Wellie patterns so I vote for that darling cat dress.Thank you so much.

My vote this week is for the St. Francis Jacket. It looks simple enough to make several and with the choice of animals, they all could be different for each of your dolls. The use of a fat quarter for the fabric makes it very economical.

Thank you, Peggy & Cinnamon. I don’t have an embroidery machine so, I can’t take advantage of the embroidery templates. I’m voting for the cute Catastic Dress for 14" dolls. My grand daughter just received that sized doll and it would be fun to add a dress like this to her doll’s wardrobe.

Thank you for all the cute choices this week… as usual it is hard to pick just one! I don’t have an embroidery machine (can’t afford it) but I’m guessing you can still make nice footwear without one. Since my doll needs shoes I voted for the 18 inch Bow Tied Booties… they look so cute too! Though I have a feeling it won’t win :(
