Not cloth dolls, but...

...I just have to share that I received my new American Girl doll. After reading about Gabriela, I just had to have her...

Gabriela is the 2017 Doll of the Year; she is a dreamer, dancer & poet.

I can't wait to design some clothes for her!

Disclaimer...American Girl does not pay me or compensate me in any way. I am just a collector and lover of the 18 inch American Girl dolls!

Have you ever tried a FREE class at CreativeLive?

Rippit, Rippit...!

We've all been there! Ripping out stitching is not fun, but sometimes necessary.

To add a little humor to an otherwise aggravating situation, I just had to share a link to a free printable from Crafterhours to hang on the door to your sewing room...
