Welcome to our little corner of the world

My daughter just recently got an American Girl Doll for Christmas.  As I began to look at clothing for her doll I became a bit disappointed in the quality and selection available. 

I quickly searched the internet only to find very old fashioned patterns available.  Again, I was disappointed.   After searching for hours I stumbled upon an amazing pattern designer called Liberty Jane. Right away I was hooked!   I bought a few patterns and literally stayed up until 2:30 sewing.   My daughter and I went through our closets looking for clothing that was ruined, didn't fit, or hadn't worn in a long time.  With simply the investment of a pattern and time, I began sewing.  

The first item I made was this cute Tshirt.  The fabric came from one of my daughter's old tshirts. Isn't it seriously cute???  My daughter just loves it!

I used the Trendy Tee pattern from Liberty Jane.
