One of my favorite tv shows at the moment is ‘American Pickers’ and I notice that Frank loves to Bundle the items he purchases, in fact he calls himself the ‘Bundle King’. I hadn’t really heard this term before I started watching this program and now I have notice that it seems everyone loves to bundle.
Sew I thought it would be great if I could bundle my doll clothes patterns so that when my customers purchase all patterns within the same category at the same time they would get a special ‘bundle’ price. This means, if you purchase all the 18 inch beach patterns e.g. one piece swim suit, halter top and sarong in the same transaction you will receive 10% off the total retail price. Yes, simply purchase these three patterns in the one transaction and the shopping cart will reduce the price by 10% – you have to agree, this is an awesome deal!
This special ‘Bundle Offer’ is available in each of the doll clothes patterns categories i.e. Accessories, Beach, Bedtime, Halloween, Summer Fashion and Winter Fashion for both the 18 inch doll clothes patterns and the 18 ½ inch Cabbage Patch doll clothes patterns, sew what are you waiting for? Grab a ‘Bundle’ and start sewing your doll’s new wardrobe today.
Happy Sewing

There must be a lot of hungry sewing machines out there as I have received the same question twice in the last couple of months so figured it would be a good idea to share my tips on how to keep your munching machines under control.
When sewing doll clothes you are often sewing tiny seams with small bits of fabric and if you are not careful, your machine will gobble up your fabric as you begin to sew. To avoid this happening there are a number of things you need to do. Firstly, it is really important to ensure that you ……………

I was recently asked why I place my pins in the same direction as the stitching and not across the stitching line. It was suggested that placing the pins perpendicular to your row of stitching means you can sew straight over the pins and pull them out when you are finished sewing the seam making the process a little quicker. Yes, I agree this definitely makes sewing a little quicker and I do use this technique sometimes e.g. at the beginning of sewing thicker fabric together to stop the edges from moving. However, there are a number of reasons why I prefer to pin along the stitching line.
Firstly, I find that it helps to hold the fabric in place a little better especially when sewing smaller items like doll clothes. Secondly, when you have a tiny ¼” hem it is definitely easier to place the pin in the direction of sewing rather than across the tiny hem (see photo at right).
