Years ago I made a First Communion doll for a seven year old grandniece (now 22). Years later when her younger sister (now 14) made her First Communion she proudly showed me her doll with the dress her older sister had passed down. Children do appreciate when you make something special for them. Your beautiful dresses and out of this world shoes have inspired me to get patterns out and start sewing for my nine year old granddaughter. Thanks for the inspiration!

I think the American Doll clothes are just about the smallest doll clothes I think I would ever try! Having said that, they are still a pain and you have done a remarkable job!! Hint - if you want to make a side income, make more and sell them. We have a section in our shoppe of american doll clothes made by 2 of our members and they sell like crazy. Parents know what the store bought ones cost and they come to us specifically to buy or special order them. One lady has twin granddaughters and has had us make several almost matching outfits for their dolls, including ones from their old school uniform. And it is a great way to use up all the bits in your stash!

Are you kidding!!! Saying not to look too closely at the shoes.....they are wonderful!!!!!! I love all the clothes and shoes you have made. I hope the doll and clothing will become a treasure for your granddaughter and she will still have them when she has her own children!

Hi all! Thank you all for looking and your nice comments. For those wondering about the shoes, here is a link. I'm sorry I haven't the time to add anymore because I'm waiting on a flight. I'll be gone about 10 days but if you need anything else, I will try to answer back then. Meanwhile here are the sandalshttps://www.pixiefaire.com/collectio...-18-doll-shoes and they have many free patterns for these dolls.
