Yes, it’s time again to share all your wonderful sewing projects and inspire others to try something a little different.

Now I don’t normally feature full size clothing in my Share and Tell blog but I’m super impressed with Amy, who as a young girl did my How to Sew Doll Clothes video course a couple of years ago.  She now has the confidence to take clothes she doesn’t wear and transform them into lovely garments that she can proudly wear.

 ‘Mrs Rosie, I made this skirt out of an old dress that didn’t really fit me well!  I like keeping you notified about all the sewing I do because I could never have done it all without your course I took!  I learned all my sewing stuff and more from you!  I thank you!  Amy ‘ 

Oh My Gosh!  I can’t believe just how gorgeous these Cabbage Patch dolls look in their new bikinis made from my Bikini and Tankini Doll Clothes Pattern.

This is the perfect bikini for Cabbage Patch dolls that want style and modesty when at the beach.  There are options to make a bikini or tankini top and the pants can be worn …..

You know I love to please and lately I’ve been getting enquiries from customers who wanted to purchase my online course because they wanted to have their iPad or tablet beside them so they could watch the step-by-step videos as they’re sewing AND they wanted the DVD set to keep forever.  So I’m super excited to announce that you can now get the Best of Both Worlds!

Whilst it may seem a little odd for all my Aussie customers, the release of this cute bikini doll clothes pattern is just in time for summer in the northern hemisphere.

This is the perfect bikini for those dolls that want to look super cute at the beach also want a little modesty.  There are options to make a bikini or tankini top and the pants can be worn with the waistband pulled down into a mini skirt, or higher to reveal the little bikini bottoms.  Frills feature on both the top and the pants and add a real ‘cuteness’ to the cossie – Aussie slang for swimming costume.

The best thing about the design of this bikini and tankini pattern is that as well as ….

p>I received an email from one of my lovely customers the other day asking why her thread keeps breaking while she is sewing?  After replying to Deborah I realised that this is something that others may have experienced too and thought I would outline some of the things to check if this happens to you.

There are a number of reasons why your thread may keep breaking while sewing.

• Is your machine threaded correctly?  The first thing I always do when either my sewing machine or serger are not behaving the way they should is to pull the thread (or threads in the case of my serger) out and start again.  If you just look at the thread and think …..

Oh, I couldn’t believe my eyes when on Mother’s Day this year I was presented with a brand new sewing machine.  Now there was nothing wrong with my old machine, in fact I loved it and was so proud of the fact that over the last 10 ½ years it has sewn thousands of doll clothes along with curtains, seat covers for our living room chairs, clothes for the family and hemmed heaps of pants and dresses for friends and family.  It was just that whenever I did a video for my patterns, I was awfully embarrassed by all the paint missing and although people reassured me that it just proved it was well used, I always felt it was a distraction for people when watching my videos.

Wow, I can’t believe how popular my Ballerina doll clothes pattern has been and I’m thrilled to say it is now available in the 18 ½ “ Cabbage Patch Kids size.

That’s right, my new Ballerina Doll Clothes Pattern for 18 ½ inch Cabbage Patch dolls includes patterns for a versatile leotard, a stunning tutu AND …………..

Gosh, time certainly does fly by these days.  It has been a while since I’ve done a Share and Tell blog so I hope you enjoy a snippet of some of the emails that I receive from my wonderful customers (or who I prefer to call my Rosie’s Doll Clothes Patterns family).

Annmary has been busy sewing for her five-year-old granddaughter who received an American Girl doll from her parents for Christmas.

“Hello Rosie, I did sew up the “Winter Pyjamas` a while ago, with pretty fabric that a friend had given to me, but I am just now getting a photo off, as it has been busy!

Samantha is wearing them, and I loved the pattern.  The methods were very doable, and the pyjamas look so realistic- so cute in the smaller scale!  I was ….
