Hi everyone,
On Friday (September 14th) we'll have a free pattern available from Helen Kropocheva, the talented designer of the Doll Joy pattern brand. Help us decide which pattern should be free and be sure to come back on Friday to download your free copy!
More About Helen In Her Own Words: "When I was a child, my family didn't really need to ask what gift I wanted. There was one answer: "A doll." I grew up but I still have so much love in my heart for dolls.
Both of my grannies loved sewing. I began to sew at the age of eight by hand for my baby dolls. My mother taught me to knit. When I turned fifteen I started to sew and knit clothes for myself.
Designing for dolls started for me when my daughter went to school. I was looking for something to do, and my search led to discovering a whole world of dolls and doll fashion.
Now I'm glad to be a part of the Pixie Faire team and engage in my favourite hobbies!"

More About Each Pattern
Flutter Sleeve Top Designed to Fit 19" Gotz® Dolls: Sew this top for your doll, and she will flutter like a butterfly! You can finish the flutter sleeves edges with a rolled hem or leave raw edge finishes as shown in the photo.
The top can be sewn from one fabric or you can select another fabric companion for the flutter sleeves to your liking.
Pajama Top Designed to Fit 19" Gotz® Dolls: Do you like to sew? I'm sure you have tons of fabric scraps. Making this top will help reduce your supplies! For this Pajama top you'll need printed knit fabric, and different solid-colored fabrics for the bottom panel and pocket. The fabric choice will determine what you`ll sew: a pajama top or cute long-sleeve top, for a girl or boy. I chose a cute fabric for pajamas, because my favorite doll likes to hide a candy in her pocket when she goes to bed! If your doll also likes secrets, be sure to sew such pajama top for her.
Tunic and Leggings Designed To Fit 19 Inch Gotz® Dolls: Do you like to combine fabrics? I really love it! This two-piece set does not limit your imagination in the choice of fabric colors. Round Yoke Neckline, Two-tier Ruffled Sleeves and Hem, leggings - every detail can be made with its own color. It is very exciting to look for interesting combinations of colorful fabrics. And it`s an excellent opportunity to use the leftover fabrics from past projects.
Flutter Sleeve Top Designed To Fit 18" Dolls Such As American Girl®: Sew this top for your doll, and she will flutter like a butterfly! You can finish the flutter sleeve edges with a rolled hem or leave raw edge finishes as in the photo. The top can be sewn from one fabric or you can select another fabric companion for the flutter sleeves to your liking.

Helen thanks so much for allowing us to have one of your gorgeous patterns for the Freebie Friday this week. Sure do wish I had a Gotz doll. I almost voted for the tunic and leggings pattern anyway………….and tried to make it fit. Thanks again!
They are all such fun little outfits. I voted for the Tunic & Leggings… I don’t have that size doll, but I thought I’d give a vote to that one… perhaps it can be altered to fit an 18 inch Our Generation doll? Thank you for everything!
Thank you for the free pattern this week! Sometime I sew for my niece’s 18" dolls, but we don’t have any dolls this size yet. I’ll vote for the tunic and leggings with hopes that it wins for all those with a 19" doll! All the patterns are really cute!

I have to go with the 18" Flutter Sleeve, as I don’t do the other sizes….but love the patterns…wish they were 18".
