Hi everyone,

More About Cherie: I have been sewing since I was about 4 years old. I learned to sew at my mothers knee. I learned to sew Barbie clothes not by hand but by machine. I remember when I was about 10 seeing an outfit that my Grandmother had made for her Barbie that she had done completely by hand and thinking why would anyone take that kind of time. I learned to crochet at age 7 again under my mothers watchful eye. I also learned to knit but as crochet builds faster knitting fell the way of hand sewing I do if needed. I am the wife to a software engineer and mother to 4 daughters that I home schooled for most of their elementary years. When I am not designing and writing doll clothes patterns I work as a teachers aide in a private school.

The Anna Shoe Pattern for 18" Dolls: Does dolly like bows but not big full bows? Well here is an open toe shoe that has half a bow across the toe! The outside edge of the bow is lined with small beads and the arch side of the shoe is open. This shoe would be pretty in light weight silks and satins as well as in light weight wools.

My doll definitely needs those Anna shoes! They are lovely.
I voted for the Kara shoe pattern. It seems very versatile and would work with many types of doll attire.I can see using the pattern for slippers, casual wear, or formal wear, depending on the fabrics selected. Thank you, Cherie!
thanks again to all the contributors! The shoe patterns are so cute!
I picked the Posie Toe Slippers because I can make these, I just can’t seem to make the other shoes and have them turn out for me. Also, Kara, is one side left open on purpose? Is there a way to enclose both sides? My granddaughters are young and I can’t see that they would be able to keep them on the doll??
This one is difficult because I like them all, and I just bought three patterns for shoes. I’d love the crochet ones, but I will vote for Anna shoes to use with some silks, and it could be made to match the formal wear outfits, fabulous! Thank you Cherrie!
