Crafty Tip
While we have seen a decrease in the number of jewelry pieces worn at one time, the pieces themselves are larger and bolder than ever! Instead of wearing the typical fine jewelry, women are choosing one impressive signature piece, such as a diamond-studded cuff bracelet or a custom-made cocktail ring. Fashionistas can also accomplish this look by incorporating large colored stones into their accessories. It appears this trend is here to stay as designers gear up for the release of their 2009 collections.

My doll outfits are handmade with loving care, and most are one-of-a-kind! Occasionally I will make more than one the same, if requested. I am a perfectionist when it comes to sewing. I take great pride in creating my work to last a long time. I always pre-wash fabric, so it will not shrink when washed. I also finish & press seams for an overall professional appearance.
Like my outfits, but don't have an 18 inch doll? No problem, all I need are measurements to clothe ANY size doll! :)

Crafty Tip
For doll clothing, finishing the seams with a tight zig-zag stitch is just as effective as using a serger! Although finishing seams adds to the time a project takes, it presents a much neater appearance, and the garment will last longer.

Crafty Tip
When cutting rubber stamps ensure you use a high quality and extremely sharp pair of scissors. Rubber blunts blades remarkably quickly so you will need to ensure your scissors are able to be sharpened. Don't fall for the trap of getting a cheap pair as they wont last long and you'll end up paying twice as much replacing your equipment before you should have to.

Crafty Tip
When fusing fabric to something, apply the fuse to the piece of fabric before you cut out the pattern. This will cut down on fraying.
