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.
Help us decide which one of Marilyn's patterns should be free by voting below. Then come back on Friday to see which pattern won and get the free download.

I tried to vote last night just before I went to bed. The vote was already closed yet there was still plenty of time to vote… would have really loved the moccasins as my doll has no shoes at the moment. That was the first time I was unable to vote and I’m sad I couldn’t. Don’t get me wrong… the poncho is very nice (all the patterns are, really), but would have liked to been able to add my vote/say in too.

By the time this week’s patterns came up on the website, it was too late to vote.

So disappointed that the poll closed so early. I would have voted for the moccasins. The poncho is cute but I was hoping to get the moccasins. Thank you.

Feeling sad. This is either the third or fourth week in a row that I can’t vote. I’ve tried all day from multiple devices; but all I see are the results — no opportunity to vote. Also, I no longer am receiving the notice on Facebook with a direct link to the vote. There’s definitely a system error here. If the system was working, I’d vote for the moccasins. It looks like the poncho is going to be the winner. It’s really cute too. Can’t complain when all of your designs are so great, and you are offering us a free pattern. But tge voting was a fun feature. Thanks for contributing to Freebie Friday. Much appreciated.

Like many others, I can’t vote, as the poll is already showing the results. I don’t get the square where we usually cast our vote.
I’d vote for the mocassins!

I vote for the moccasins as well, I also missed the poll. Thank you. I love all the QTpie patterns.
Patricia

It’s Thursday, 5 pm Pacific time and the poll is showing the results and isn’t taking any more votes. This is the 2nd time this has happened in recent memory! At any rate, I vote for the moccasins if a vote can be added.

Now this is so difficult . . . the choices are so diversified and incredibly cute. Funny, my age may be showing but I wore each of these at different times as they were first in style. I actually had clothes that a “Fooler” aka “Dickie” snapped or buttoned onto. The pleated pants – the 80s. The moccasins – all thru high school (early 70s). Poncho: late 60s, early 70s. It’s all back! I’m going to go with the Pleated Pants but honestly it is only because my granddaughter wants a pair for herself. What fun! Thanks!

September 28, 2017
Wow what a hard choice. I voted for the moccasins, but It almost came to a coin toss. I like them all. Thank you for offering these. I will probably be purchasing a few more before the end of the year.

They all look great, so I will be challenged to complete any in a timely manner. I’m still trying to master shoes, so I voted for the moccasins.
