More 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!.

Am I the only one that couldn’t get on this site yesterday? Thanks Chris being so gracious!
Geez. I didn’t check for errors I thought spell check did it fr me. I started sewing in 2012 after not sewing for 40’years. In 201, she got Grace her family st AG doll. I bought her dolls grandmother Marie Grace.
Thanks for the pattern. I’m gonna make one for the doll and my stepdaughter. I picked sewing back from p in 2012 when mt stepdaughters mom moved her to California without notice. When we finally got to vist with her again. Just out of the blue she told me I had 2 sewing machines and she needed some clothes for her dolls. I started sewing doll clothes for her Madame Alexander dolls, then during her 6 week summer visit, she got her for rest Americans can girl doll Grace. This past Christmas she told me she has enough doll clothes for now. I loved the connection formed between us just by me making doll clothes. Thanks so much to Pixie Faire and to wonderful folks like Chris. My daughter created our company and called it “Nana rocks stitching it in Tennessee”. She was the president and I worked for her.
This pattern is great! I would like the AG one
Thanks for the pattern.
