More about Chris and Love U Bunches, (in her own words).
My journey into designing doll clothes patterns began in 2012 when my granddaughter decided she wanted an American Girl® doll. So I bought her a doll... and I bought one for me! Since she lives in Wisconsin and I live in Texas, I had to have my own doll so I could sew outfits and send them to her. My family was so impressed with the outfits that I was sending to her that they decided I should sell my patterns online. When I couldn’t think of an original name for my company, my amazing daughter-in-law came up with Love U Bunches because that is how I sign all the cards and letters that I send to my granddaughters: Love U Bunches, Grandma!.

je vote pour Simply Summer Sundress For 18 Inc
I picked the aprons. We (me and the only other girl student in the Math Dept) made some of these for Christmas presents when I was in college (1968 or 1969??). They were quick and fun to make and I could do the easy-peasy cross stitching while waiting between classes. I made one for my mother and two sisters, but used a plastic clip, waistband thing, instead of tie sashes. 30 years later, I found my mother’s in her stuff after she passed away — all folded up neatly in the original Christmas wrapping and tucked away — never used!. I was glad she treasured it.
Hi… I voted for the Simply Summer Sundress.
Love the versatility of this pattern.
Thank you, Chris, for such cute pattern choices. :~)
Love them all but finally decided on the sundress! Thank you!
I love the Bandana Blouse. Thank you, Chris and Pixie Faire for this week’s choices. They are all so lovely and that made it a very difficult decision, but I went for ease this time.
