Get to know Shari Fuller... Shari has two pattern collections on Pixie Faire, Thimbles and Acorns, her original brand - and after years of collaborating with designer Eve Coleman on the Keepers Dolly Duds Designs brand, Shari is now the owner of that brand too. Each brand brings a unique look to historical designs in a beautifully detailed way.
More About Shari (in her own words): My grandma gave me my first sewing lesson when I was about eight years old. I had been fascinated with her sewing for as long as I could remember and was so excited when she gave me a doll pattern and sent me to her sewing closet to pick out just the right fabric for my first project. Sewing was a way for me to connect with my grandma, and although she may not have realized it at the time, this gift she gave me helped me become a better student. History became more exciting as I became captivated by the dynamic fashions through the ages. This is what Thimbles and Acorns is all about; building relationships and encouraging learning. In November of 2011, I wrote my first pattern. Eve was the first one to take me up on the offer to test it. We quickly struck up a friendship and before long we were collaborating in our pattern making journey. Working with Eve these past seven years has been a privilege and a delight and I am honored to be able to bring Keepers Dolly Duds Designs to Pixie Faire!
Inquiring Minds Want To Know...
Q: What's your favorite food?
Shari: Just about every day I like to have a Granny Smith Apple with peanut butter and chocolate chips... It's the ultimate one-dish meal. The peanut butter and apple make a great healthy lunch (it's homemade peanut butter by the way) and the chocolate chips are a built in dessert. My absolute favorite food is homemade pizza... because it is pure romance. My husband and I have been making it every Friday since we started dating... 34 years ago! It's become a Fuller Family tradition.
Q: What's your favorite tv show or movie?
Shari: Return to Me. My husband and I tend to sing through the whole movie because it has great background music and the story brings out the romance.
Q: Coffee or Tea??
Shari: Water... I drink a lot of water. Hot water in my favorite mug in the winter helps keep me warm and cold water in my favorite water bottle keeps me refreshed in the summer.
Q: Where's your favorite place to shop?
Shari: Walmart, it's convenient (because I'm not particularly fond of shopping) AND my daughter works there so most everyone there knows me as "Jackie's Mom"... and treat me like a celebrity.
Q: What inspired your brand name?
Shari: Thimbles and Acorns was inspired by my daughter who became infatuated with the story of Peter Pan when she was three years old. The thimble and acorn were the "kisses" that Peter and Wendy exchanged.
Q: What is your dream vacation?
Shari: A tour of Israel and Egypt.
We'd love to hear from you. Leave a comment and tell us what period of fashion history you love best! And be sure to thank Shari and the Pixie Faire team for giving away this beautiful outfit!
Thanks, everyone!

Love all the designs
15th Century? WOW, could you just imagine all the great things going on then. I love that period of history, but for personal attire, I love the 40’s and the 50’s….Thank you so much for giving a little bit of history ,within the patterns you design, Thimbles and Acorns, and (hugs) to the Pixie Faire Team….You all rock!!
I love Victorian fashion
I like Thimbles and Acorns patterns and have most of them.
It looks lovely
I love period customers he most. Your design bring history to life.
Very cute patterns all around
I love Thimbles and Acorns patterns — in fact, I have this one, though I haven’t had time to use it yet
I like dolls in 1700-1800 designed outfits.
My favorite are the 1940s and 1950s. It’s really hard to choose. They were so innovative for its time and so classy and elegant while being fun too.
I already have this pattern, but it never occurred to me to make a 15th century Renaissance outfit like this. The concept of the pattern is great and this outfit is spectacular.
I don’t sew a lot of historical clothes because I tend to prefer the more modern. Some I do like and this dress is one of them. I can see myself making this dress and trying out the different looks.

I’ve been thinking about getting this pattern.
Thank you Pixie Faire. I like the Victorian period
Thanks much for sharing! I really love the Renaissance and have plans to make a few more dresses for my dolls as well :) Thank you again!
I love this dress, it’s so beautiful! My favorite period in fashion history would probably have to be medieval, but I also like Georgian, Regency, and Victorian…and that’s not even counting fashion history outside of Europe! XD I always have trouble picking just one time period!
Thank you for the giveaway!
Thanks for the giveaway – I love early 70’s but also Renaissance. I love reading all the Thimbles and Acorns pattern notes – learn something new (or old ) every time
For most patterns I like the mid-1900s, but for Thimbles & Acorn patterns I like the mid to late 1800s. I have most of this period patterns for Shari for both 18" & AGAT dolls.
I am currently liking the early medieval period for clothing,particularly the Viking clothes.I love all Shari`s beautiful designs and buy them all through Pixie faire which is the best place to find dolls clothes.Thank you very much.
I love the Regemcy era. bit ,u favorite fashions are from the 50’s. I learned to sew in 1956 and began making my own clothing, as well as some for my Mother.
Regency is my favorite Time period
I love this outfit! My favorite time period is the 70’s. But I really like all periods. Thank you so much Shari and the Pixie Faire team for such a lovely outfit!
My fav is the 1940’s. The styles are so romantic and classic!

I can’t get enough of the TA patterns! So many ways to make them, the versatility and attention to detail is fantastic. Another winner.
I love Thimbles and Acorns patterns and the history lesson embedded in the instruction booklet. Another lovely outfit with such interesting methods to change up the time period of the costume. I love the Renaissance. Thank you so much for all the work you do.
Love the Fifties era. However, I like many of the other eras as well as the clothing designs are so unique and diverse in each specific eras.
Victorian era and most of the others thank you all for the time and effort that must go into these
