I’ve been busy sewing to get ready for the GAW Barbie Convention in April, so I haven’t been posting many dresses lately, but here’s a new one I just listed in my Etsy shop. It’s inspired by a 1957 Christian Dior design. It’s hand sewn from clary sage silk taffeta from Silk Baron.
This dress is hand sewn from a vintage Cath Kidston handkerchief. Outfit includes sleeveless sheath dress, bolero jacket, and hat. Available now in my Etsy shop.
I sold out of my 2023 calendars before Christmas last year, so I ordered a larger quantity of my 2024 calendars. Calendars are designed by me and feature photos of my one of a kind dresses for Barbie and friends. These are professionally printed on premium card stock and spiral bound for ease of use. At just 6” x 4”, they fit nicely into a purse or satchel. And they make great table gifts for your next doll convention. Calendars are available now in my Etsy shop.
This pattern features a fitted, sleeveless sheath dress and reversible swing coar. Available now in my Etsy shop.
I’ve just added a bunch of new hats to my Etsy shop in shades of red, pink, and navy.

If you like making the easy bodices from my sewing patterns Party Time, Evening Gala, Holliday Affair, and Lavinia, you’ll love this bodice pattern as well. All of these bodice patterns have no pesky side seams to worry about and use straps that you tack onto the back of the bodice for a perfect fit. The Lorali bodice features a wide v-neckline with straps that sit just off the shoulder and form cap sleeves. The skirt may look complicated, but it just requires a series of simple steps to complete beautifully, with each step illustrated with photos. Pattern available now in my Etsy shop.
Just in time for the Barbie core fashion trend … and Valentines Day … here’s a lovely dress hand sewn from a vintage Barbie handkerchief. Available now in my Etsy shop.
Hand sewn from Liberty of London tana lawn, this dress features an abundance of pink bows and a coordinating hat. Available now in my Etsy shop.
