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 didn’t receive my email for the free pattern today.
Thanks Marilyn! I really enjoy your patterns. Thanks Cinnamon for these freebie patterns and exposing us to these awesome designers each week!
Thank you for such an adorable pattern.
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.
Thank you, Marilyn and Pixie Faire. The poncho looks so comfy now that we have the first nip of fall in the air!
