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.

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 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..

I like them all! But for now I vote for the Kara shoes! Thank you Cherrie and thank you Pixie Faire!
I love the asymmetrical Kara shoes. When I saw them in embroidered silk, I knew I wanted to make more than one pair of special occasion Karas!
I’m voting for the Anna shoe pattern. Wish I could crochet because the other patterns are so cute, too. Thank you!
I voted for the Anna pattern, but any if them will be a fun addition to my shoe pattern library. Thank you so much Cherie for offering this week’s fun Freebie Friday pattern.
Thank you for offering your pattern for Freebie Friday. They are all great but I voted for Kara. Love the design and the potential for embellishment. Also my daughter’s name is Cara.
