I wanted, not a dishcloth, but a cotton round to lie on the kitchen counter for cushion under pans and things. I wanted it openwork for more ventilation. 1) Dig through the internet for two hours 2) There’s nothing like that 3) Invent something. Not that I really cared until I started, but there aren’t …
I see a real need for this. It’s silly to have to refer to a field guide to Barbie shapes to figure out which doll you have, and then go looking for a dress pattern to fit only her. A pile of naked Barbies needs clothes quick, and they should be able to share. Let’s …
It’s about as simple, basic and easy as a sewing pattern can get. Free pdf to print at home. Free pinafore dress pattern with modest neckline and long armholes. Adult woman/misses size. This is a multi-size pattern I made up several years ago. Nowadays I think I made the sizing more generous than it needs …
I was having a granny square thing for a while and churned out a bunch of scrapghans. But what about a granny crochet diamond? I can’t remember what got me on the idea of a diamond shape, which is sad, because usually the long-winded story of the whole course of the inspiration and development is …

Here’s another dress pattern to make your own outfits for Best Fashion Friend Barbie. NOTE this is NOT the regular height Barbie, this is the big 28 inch super sized one! But not 36 inch My Size Barbie either. I don’t have clothes for the 36″ one. For the regular size 11.5 inch tall Barbie …
I realize this is Thanksgiving week and there are a lot of grandmas out there who need some 28″ Barbie clothing in a hurry, so I’m sharing this pattern for you, in its unfinished state. I’m planning to do more work on it later. Here is a dress I made from this draft back in …
Here’s a full length spiral dress for a grown-up! …with wolves on it. When I was a teenager, I found a spiral dress at a second hand shop. It was too small for me, but I was so fascinated with those seams going round and round that I bought it anyway. Eventually I decided it …
To my delight, I was gifted a Paradise Kids 18″ doll that needed some clothing. I got right to work making her something. Here we are with a basic peasant dress, but this is only the beginning. I have something else in mind, something VERY cool, you’ll see! It might be ten years from now …
