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."

Any of these awesome patterns would be great… though I have to admit, now that I’ve finally looked at Marilyn’s instagram, I can’t wait for the next release on her Etsy shop since there’s no way I’d be able to make clothes as cute as hers, even if I use her patterns!
Love all the patterns especially when they are free. / What a talented designer! THANK YOU
Shoes for my girls too!
I love all of these patterns! Thank you, Marilyn, for such great choices. I voted for the Everyday Trekker but will be thrilled with getting any of them!
they are all great patterns but my girls need some shoes. Thank you for the give away.
