Get to know Karen (in her own words): I've always loved dolls. My tenth birthday present from my mother was an honest-to-goodness sewing basket filled to the brim with supplies, and a Barbie pattern. I was in heaven! I sewed throughout my high school years and then began again when my great nieces received American Girl dolls. My teenage sons were horrified that their mother was playing with dolls. During that time I also discovered Liberty Jane patterns. Wow--stylish, detailed patterns for dolls with fantastic instructions and a beautiful fit! Before I realized what was happening I was designing my own patterns. Partnering with PixieFaire, as a seller and designer, has been such a fun adventure! I'm grateful to those of you who have become customers and friends along the way. This pattern is my thank you to all of you--enjoy!
Get to know her a little more with this fun Q and A interview!
Q. What's your favorite food?
Karen: There isn't much I don't like. But if it packs some heat it will usually be high on the approval list. Chiles, salsa, Szechuan, Thai….bring it on! I do make exceptions for dark chocolate.
Q. What's your favorite tv show, movie, or book?
Karen: I like NCIS and The Great British Baking Show, and love the 1995 A&E version of Pride and Prejudice. The David Suchet series of Hercule Poirot stories is wonderful, too! Return to Me and Babette's Feast are two of my favorite movies. Favorite book? That's like trying to name a favorite child. But I enjoy reading anything by C.S. Lewis, Dorothy Sayers, James Herriot, Jane Austen, and George MacDonald. Tom Sawyer and Tolkien's Lord of the Rings trilogy are other favorites.
Q. Coffee or tea?
Karen: Both. Coffee with strong flavors and tea with more delicate ones. Except for ginger tea. It's a stand-alone any-time-of-the-day drink. (As I think about it, it's probably because of the heat factor.)
Q. Where's your favorite place to shop?
Karen: I can get lost for hours in a used bookstore. I also love cruising through fabric stores, art supply stores, nurseries, and produce stands. When I visited the downtown flower market warehouse I felt like I was stepping into Oz! Basically, anything that deals with color is very appealing.
Q. What inspired your brand name?
Karen: It's a play on the Forever 21 store name. My husband loves puns and I think it rubbed off on me.
Q. What is your dream vacation?
Karen: There's so much I'd like to see..but anywhere with beautiful scenery where I can paint is a plus. I'd love to visit Israel and spend a lot of time in Italy and Switzerland.
We'd love to hear from you. Leave a comment and tell us - which look is best! And be sure to thank Karen and the Pixie Faire team for giving away such cute outfits!
Thanks, everyone!

Thank you Karen and Pixie Faire! Love the dress. So perfect for summer!
What a lovely dress … it makes up beautifully in showcased fabric! Since I must make a choice, I’ll spring for Market Stroll. The hat just adds additional appeal to the outfit.
I love the Ala Moana as will my granddaughter, Liara, as she loves the very female designs with purses for shopping!

Thanks Pixie Faire & Karen! I just bought the “Sun Bathing Cutie” this week. Well, I’m a bit confused because “Ala Moana Style” to me implies Hawaii whereas “Market Stroll” implies strolling through a street or Farmers’ market . . . So, the idea of wearing closed toe shoes and using a leather purse on an outing in Hawaii makes me break out into a sweat just thinking about it. You know that in December the Santa Claus’s in Hawaii are barefoot? Wearing sandals and a large hat in a street market can be difficult . . . if not dangerous to maneuver around in . . . Hence, my confusion. How about? Ala Moana Style: Large Hat, Sandals, Oversized Straw Bag & Sunglasses. Market Stroll: Cap or Visor, Sneakers, Canvas Tote carrying the Flowers, Hip/Fanny Pack & Sunglasses. I chose the Ala Moana Style only because the parts would work with many other things.
I love the market stroll! Perfect for the farmers market
I love the market stroll! Perfect for the farmers market
So cute, it was hard to decide!
Really love both looks but the Ala Moana would be my top bid. The material used in these designs was perfect for the pattern no matter which look you prefer.
Market Stroll! I love it with the hat!
I think I like the Ala Moana this week but both are very sweet. Karen’s patterns are always great. Thanks to the Pixie Faire team and Karen for the chance to win these two sweet outfits.
Love the hat in Market Stroll.
I like them both but the adorable purse, sunglasses and shoes send Ala Moana to the head of the class for me!
