Marybeth--such sweet clothes! Sorry your little girl was in an accident! I'm surprised she can use crutches with a broken arm. Hope she's well soon so she can wear all her pretty clothes! 8-)

I'll be visiting all my girls, and a couple guys, in dallas for the next two weeks . Yes, I am beyond excited!! I have tried to get all my sewing done, but I'm far behind. Don't want to spend all my time in tx finishing up wall hangings and table toppers, and two aprons and 3mughugs! Just a few things for my little friends, lol! I have made a couple outfits and a t shirt for the dolls. I now have four boy dolls, 2 sets of twins! Henry and ford, Jacque and Gilles. Can't wait for ag to bring out a boy ! Other than the bitty baby brothers. My youngest dgd was given the bitty baby so I've been asked to make her baby some clothes. Hey, it's what i do, lol, and a little quilting on the side. Chuckle!

Mary: Your clothes are just amazing. Love them all but the red, white and blue is great! All that detail.

My stepdaughter wants the AG gymnastics leotard set. Anyone every make a leotard? Do you know where I can find a pattern? I WILL NOT spend $24 on that set!!!! Also what can you tell me about the difference in the posable and nonposable dolls from Target. I am trying to decide what kind to buy them for Christmas.

I so agree about not paying the prices they ask for these outfits. I look for the free patterns on the net and also buy McCalls and Simplicity at the J store when they are on sale. Throughout this thread there a lot of links for free patterns.

Cute clothes. Thanks for sharing.

Definitely a posable doll would be a better choice. It gives kids lots of options on how the want to play with them. SikesJJ your clothes are too cute!

My stepdaughter has a AG doll at her Mom's house but again I refuse to spend $125 on a doll, so we are going with the Target ones.
