More About Marilyn In Her Own Words: “I am happily married to my wonderful husband Richard and we are blessed with three beautiful daughters. My professional background is in children’s ministries, but I have enjoyed sewing for over 20 years. Throughout the years I have sewn for local dance schools and theatres groups. With three daughter I have sewn my fair share little girls clothes. In spring 2013 my love for sewing doll clothes began and in March 2014, I started designing patterns for 18” dolls such as American Girl® and Maplelea®. I enjoy designing and creating modern everyday clothing and shoes. I love keeping up with current fashion and recreating it."

I would rather sew a dress! And I do love that dress!!!! Rosie in Mi.
Thanks for this week’s choices, they are all great, I always like a dress pattern so will be voting for the bandeau dress.
Thanks for your generosity, Marilyn – I love all your designs and these are all super cute! I love them all but if I have to choose, I’m going with the sandals – I think they look fun to try!
Shoes! Shoes! A girl can never have enough shoes.
I have the shoe patterns so I’m voting for the dress. Great patterns. Thank you.
