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.

And it`s an excellent opportunity to use the leftover fabrics from past projects.

Helen, thank you for offering patterns for other dolls! I have several slim 18-19" dolls that would fit the Gotz patterns. I voted for the tunic and leggings.
I love your pretty designs Helen, especially the tunic and leggings, but am happy with whichever pattern wins the vote. Thank you so much for offering such a cute selection.
I vote for the tunic and leggings set. The set is so cute!
But I don’t have a 19 inch size Gotz Doll. I wonder how I can adjust to fit 18 inch Our Generation dolls.
Beverly, this may seem strange but the difference between the Gotz and AG dolls I have is the behind. My Gotz doll has a bigger behind. I don’t have a problem with pants though. Most patterns I’ve used aren’t super snug fitting so they still work. Of course, the dolls all seem to be different.
I have a Gotz doll. The clothes I’ve made so far, fit both 18 and 19" dolls.
