Well, I say it needs to be celebrated here in Australia too! ‘Sew’ I’m offering 20% Off the retail price of everything in store for the whole month of ‘Sewtember’!

That means it’s time to decide what Halloween costume you’ll make for your doll. Along with my Pumpkin, Witch, Angel and Fairy costumes, you can also use the Ballerina costume, Wedding Dress or the Pinafore Dress and Blouse together to create a Dorothy costume. These are all available in both the 18 inch American Girl size and the 18 ½ inch Cabbage Patch size.

Wow, lots of amazing doll clothes creations to share with you today. I’m starting off today by sharing some of the outfits that Ann has created using the tips from my recent blogs on resizing my 18 inch and American Girl doll clothes to fit the smaller 13-14 inch Disney Toddler and Wellie Wishers dolls. Ann was my original inspiration for doing this and you can see why when looking at the jacket she has created by reducing my Winter Pyjama top pattern.

If you’ve been thinking about doing my How to Make Doll Clothes Video course or gifting it to your daughter or granddaughter so she can learn how to sew and create her very own doll clothes, then now’s the perfect time. I’m offering a 25% discount off my course for a short time only using coupon code Course25 during checkout.

Offer valid 10-17 August, 2017 inclusive so hurry and sign up for the course today.

I’ve received such an awesome response to my first blog where I showed how easy it was to resize the bonus doll clothes patterns that come with my How to Sew Doll Clothes course to fit the 13 Inch Disney Toddler and 14 ½ Inch Wellie Wishers dolls that I’ve been encouraged to continue with Part 2. In this blog I will show how to alter some more of my 18 Inch and American Girl doll clothes patterns.

Well it’s winter here in Australia now and I’m really missing the beautiful summer days. So I thought it would be a great idea to celebrate summer in the northern hemisphere with some Summer Lovin’ and take 20% off all my Beach Doll Clothes Patterns for 18 Inch American Girl and Cabbage Patch Dolls!

Blimmy, it’s been a while since I’ve uploaded a Share and Tell blog but I really wanted to get my blogs on resizing patterns out so you can all start experimenting, especially as these smaller dolls are so popular at the moment.

 So let’s get started, or should I say ‘sharing’.

‘Good Day Rosie, I have done the online course. I want to thank you for this program it’s been a life saver for me. I’m 66 years old and have little knowledge of sewing….. I am sending you 3 pictures of outfits I have done so far. I am getting better, but have a long way to go. Still the girls love them and don’t even mention the flaws. Thanks for your site and instruction.

Michael’

 I think you’ve done a wonderful job Michael and you should be sooo proud of your creations, I’m not surprised that your girls love them!

Have you been wanting to make a pretty dress for your 18 Inch or American Girl doll or 18 ½ Inch Cabbage Patch doll? Then now’s the perfect time to get that pattern with 20% off the retail price on all Dress Patterns for dolls. My Summer Dress pattern is one of my most popular dresses and perhaps that is because it’s super easy to make and when you purchase this pattern I also show you how to make minor adjustments to the pattern that allow you to make over a dozen more different outfits.

Since American Girl came out with the new 14 ½” Wellie Wishers doll, I’ve had many people asking if I will be doing patterns to fit them.  So I thought I had better get myself one so that I could do a little experimenting.  Ashlyn finally arrived and around about the same time, I started a Facebook group, Rosie’s Doll Clothes Sew and Share.  One of the first people to join this group was Ann Mellor who has done my How to Sew Doll Clothes video course and been a wonderful customer since my very first year.  Ann posted some gorgeous photos of Hearts 4 Hearts and Wellie Wishers dolls wearing clothes that she had made after resizing some of my patterns.  So immediately ……

WAKE UP EVERYONE! It’s time to grab a bargain!

I’ve had so many people tell me how much they love my bedtime patterns, especially my Winter Pyjama and my Winter Nightie Patterns that I thought I’d give everyone the chance to own them. ‘Sew’, until the end of May, 2017 I’m selling all my bedtime patterns at 20% Off the Retail Price.

‘Rosie’s doll pajamas have always been my favorite.’ – Ann Mellor

Instead of my usual Share and Tell blog, I thought I would do a special blog letting you all know about a new Facebook Group that I started at the request of one of my customers who was looking for a place to share photos of her creations and get inspiration.  This group is called Rosie’s Doll Clothes Sew and Share.   The intention of this group is to provide a place where we can share our creations, encourage each other, ask questions and help each other with tips and tricks that we’ve discovered, and most importantly, be inspired.
