Doll clothes week and 2020 are a wrap!

Today I filmed the final video for doll clothes week!

Happy New Year everyone!!

18 inch doll clothes

These are patterns that I posted online in a sewing community several years ago. They're basic serged stretchy doll clothes that fit American Girl dolls and other 18 inch dolls well.

Here is the pattern for the leggings/pants.

Here is the pattern for the shirt and dress.

I will be recording video tutorials for the leggings, a shirt, and a dress this coming week. Maybe someone you love got a doll for the holidays, and now you can make them some fast-sew cute outfits right away!

January will be cloth diaper sewing month

Christmas crafting week begins!

All this week I will be posting short holiday crafting videos of various things.

If you have any specific requests, either comment here or join me for my live-stream on Wednesday!

How about live-stream Wednesdays?

My kids have short "school" days every Wednesday. Would anyone be interested in live-streams on Wednesday early afternoons (2pm Pacific time?) They'll just be saved as videos when completed, but if you come during the streams, I will sew things by request (within reason,) and help with any of your trouble-shooting. For now, I've just been sewing... but, I'll transition to other things soon too like cooking, crafts, other arts. We can even do things like custom logo designs or illustrations together eventually.

Would there be any interest in something like that?

Cloth menstrual pads revisited

I posted up a video tutorial for one style of cloth menstrual pads (AKA "mama cloth) the other day.

It is just based on a very old blog post from my cloth diaper sewing blog:
Mama Cloth

Slowly posting some videos

I have 2 videos posted right now, but I have filmed 4 or 5 so far. I should be posting the rest within a week.

I'm VERY new to video editing, so they're pretty rough so far. I also have a really really old slow computer that doesn't do a great job with all of this stuff. However, I was already planning on getting a newer one soon. So, that should help. Look forward to cleaner videos in 2021!
