Get To Know Heidi (In Her Own Words)
"Hello, fellow doll clothes makers! I’m Heidi Mittiga (Flossie Potter Patterns). Back in the 1990s, my daughter would pore over the doll catalogs and wish for all the outfits that were displayed in the photos. Money was tight, so I started copying them for her. I even sold a few. I came up with an idea to make doll clothes patterns that represented women of history, but it would be a long time before anyone would be able to turn an idea into a computerized pattern and sell it to seamstresses around the world.
My daughter grew up and moved on, but my idea never left. I did alterations for over a decade, and then came another daughter who also loved dolls. This time, the internet was ready. My first PDF pattern was Susan B. Anthony, and now I have over 80 patterns listed on Pixie Faire!"
Inquiring Minds Want To Know:
Q: What is your favorite sewing tip?
Whenever I sew sleeves into the armscyes, I sew with the bodice on top of the sleeve. It took me a long time to come up with this way to minimize unwanted tucks in the bodice fabric that I wouldn’t notice until the sleeve was in!
Q: Is there a new hobby, craft, or skill you’d like to learn?
Yes. I have always wanted to learn tatting. My grandma could tat, and it looked like so much fun. I’m trying!
Q: If you were to relax by the water, would you prefer the ocean waves, a babbling brook, or a rushing waterfall?
Hands down, I’d prefer the babbling brook. That would mean that I’m in the woods, and I love the woods. (I’ve been to the ocean in California and to Niagara Falls near home in New York, but they’re both so loud that I can’t even hear myself think. So, give me the babble of a brook!)
Q: What’s your favorite flower or plant?
I love Hollyhocks next to a fence. They’re an old-fashioned flower.
Q: What would you say is the most daring or exciting thing you’ve ever done?
I took SCUBA diving lessons and dove on a wreck.

I love the vintage patterns. There is so much attention to detail.
Love all these patterns from the early 80’s
Oh my goodness, this new free pattern was a joy to sew and create a new doll look for my granddaughter. I think she’s going to love your collections lots.
Such a cute outfit! I love the Susan b Anthony one the most ❤ your instructors are really clear and detailed 👌
I really love Halter Ego. I have recently come into possession of some vintage guipure lace that I want to use to make up this pattern.
