Things are certainly starting to cool down in the northern hemisphere so I feel it’s the perfect time to be releasing the first of my winter 18 Inch American Girl doll clothes patterns.  This fun Funky Fur outfit will brighten up the bleakest of winter days and keep your doll warm from head to toe.

This is one of the more popular outfits sold on my Rosie’s Dolls Clothes website and so I’m really excited to be releasing this Funky Fur doll clothes pattern today because it now means that you too can make this great outfit for your doll!  It will certainly keep your doll warm as toast while playing with friends this winter and is ideal for wearing on the ski slopes.

The Funky Fur pattern includes pattern pieces for the fur trimmed hooded top and the fur trimmed long pants.  And remember, when you purchase my downloadable PDF patterns and written instructions, you also receive LIFETIME access to my online video tutorial where I show you step-by-step how to make this great doll clothes pattern.   

My 18 inch American Girl doll clothes patterns range will also fit the Canadian Girl, Australian Girl doll, the Gotz doll and other similar 18 inch dolls.

What a wonderful day to be releasing my versatile Tights 18 Inch American Girl doll clothes patterns.  Essential to all girl’s wardrobes are great mix ‘n match pieces and the same goes for dolls too!  This tights pattern creates the perfect mix ‘n match basic for your doll to wear.  Wear them under a skirt, with a big shirt or combine with my One Piece Swimsuit pattern for a great ballerina leotard and tight set.  Make them shorter and they become ¾ length tights for the ‘in-between’ months or go shorter again and you have a great pair of bike shorts.

The combinations and variations are endless, so you can see why I’m so excited to be releasing these Tights doll clothes patterns today.  It is an easy to make, ‘must-have’ pattern to economically expand your doll’s wardrobe!

Oh, I know I’m an Aussie but I do love Halloween.  We have some American friends up the street and every year they have a fantastic Halloween party which is absolutely the best fun!  They decorate the whole house, both inside and out, have scary music playing and organise heaps of games for the kids.

Last year they actually had the garage set up like a haunted house with cobwebs everywhere, ghosts, black cats, broom sticks, black streamers hanging down from the ceiling…it was really spooky.  After quite a few of the children had gone in and wandered around getting lost and freaked out by things bumping into them and going across your face, a group of adults decided it was their turn to show how brave they were.  Well, our neighbour had organised for someone to be sitting very quietly in there not moving or making a sound until the group of adults went in.  After about a minute of giggling and silly business, he burst into life and set off one of those poppers that have streamers flying out…..we all got the fright of our lives.  I’m sure I aged 10 years in that split second.  When we finally got our heart beats under control again, we had a big laugh and the kids haven’t let us forget how scared we were since.

I can’t wait for their party this year and now that I have released a range of Halloween American Girl doll clothes patterns and Cabbage Patch doll clothes patterns, my daughter and her friends will have their dolls joining in the fun too!   I have some great Halloween costume patterns to choose from.  There is a Fabulous Fairy costume that includes patterns for a pretty fairy dress, a dainty headpiece and the essential fairy wings.  My Wicked Witch costume has patterns for a spooky witches dress and of course, the wicked witches hat.  Or my personal favorite is the cool Pumpkin costume which comes with patterns for the pumpkin suit as well as the tights to wear under the pumpkin suit.  These Halloween doll clothes patterns normally sell for $9.95 each but as a Halloween spooky special, they are now only $7.95 each – that’s a huge 20% discount!

All my patterns are downloadable in PDF form with written instructions.  And the best part is, you also get LIFETIME access to video tutorials where I SHOW you how to make the outfit – I’m with you every step of the way!

So get your sewing machine out and have some extra family fun this Halloween.  Create some super cool costumes for your dolls.

This offer is only valid until 31 October, 2011 so be quick before the fairy dust runs out!
