Sewing Pattern for 18 inch Dolls: Party Time Peasant Dress by Oh Sew Kat!
It’s quick to sew and I just keep going back to it season after season. Here are some of my favorites for Valentine’s Day- notice how different they all look from each other despite all being from the same sewing pattern!

I find it so hard to resist all of the cute Halloween fabrics that fill the quilting shops and online fabric stores this time of year. When my daughter was young, we would pick our favorites each year and create a holiday twirl skirt in lots of fun colors, with wide eyed spiders and grinning ghosts. Now just the dolls get to wear fun Halloween themed fashions these days, but the colors are fun to sew and bring a little more fun to the season.
