Hi everyone,
On Friday (March 2nd, 2018) we are offering a free doll clothes pattern from Cherie Peden of Ma Petite Cherie Couture. Be sure to vote today and then come back and get your copy of the winning pattern on Friday.
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.

More About Each Pattern:
The Kara Shoe Pattern For 18" Dolls: These simple open toe flats for 18" dolls have a twist - they are missing one side of the shoe! They are super easy to make and take a minimal amount of fabric to make.
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.
The Posie Toe Slippers Crochet Pattern for 18" Dolls: Crochet your doll an adorable pair of ballet style slippers! These slippers are adorned with with a cabbage rose set atop a dainty doily on the toe. This PDF pattern will fit most 18" doll feet thanks to the adjustable tie on the back of the foot.
The Gems Shoe Crochet Pattern for 18" Dolls: The Gems shoe is a striped slip on shoe. This pattern will show you how to create a cute shoe for your 18" doll. The shoe is crocheted in 3 pieces and then crocheted together. No sewing is required!! It has a crocheted flange that is glued between a fabric covered sole and a foam sole, with an edge that covers the seam between the two perfectly..

Thank you for the different choices of the shoe patterns! They are all so lovely. I love the Kara and Anna shoes, but my vote will be for the Anna pattern.
Thank you for the choice on the shoes. I vote for Anna there so many different fabric that will work. All the designers are great for all the choices for freebie Friday and Pixie Faire
Thank you for the Friday pattern. It is a difficult choice because I like the Kara and Anna. I guess I would have to choose the Anna pattern.
Thanks Cherie & Cinnamon for such a wonderful array of choices. I voted for the Kara – have never made any shoes before and look forward to making these. I don’t know how to crochet.
Thank you Cherie, for your generosity in contributing your lovely patterns to another Pixie Faire Freebee! I adore them all, but choose Gems for its versatility. It will look awesome with the Spring fashions whether casual or dressy and probably go together pretty fast. Great pattern for those of us just learning crochet, as it looks like just one stitch repeated throughout. Thanks Cinnamon and all the contributors. How fun is this!
