2018 Halloween Witch Costumes for American Girl Dolls

Its that time of year, and planning for Halloween is in full swing.   I have created two witch costumes and a woodland fairy costume for American Girl Dolls (and other soft-bodied 18 inch girls) that are sure to please all the ghosties and goblins out there.

This costumes features stars and moons on a silver netting over silver satin.   Complete with Hat, Broomstick and Tulle Underskirt.   

This costumes features a sparkling spider web print, with small spiders decorating the ensemble.  This outfit also includes a hat, broomstick and tulle petticoat.

For those of you wanting something more whimsical for the holiday, I have created a Woodland Fairy Costume that captures the spirit of the holiday.

Glad to be back.   Thanks for looking.   For more pictures and information please visit CSB Sews Doll Clothes on Etsy (http://csbsews.com).

Nursery Rhyme Costumes for American Girl Dolls

I love nursery rhymes.   A Child's Garden of Verses by Robert Lewis Stevenson was one of my favorite childhood books.  Besides being just plain fun, nursery rhymes are important for young children because they help develop an ear for our language. Both rhyme and rhythm help kids hear the sounds and syllables in words, which helps kids learn to read!   I hope nursery rhymes and nursery rhyme games are a part of your child's playtime!  

I have created a category in my Esty store for costumes based on Nursery Rhymes.   Here are three ensembles currently available at CSB Sews Doll Clothes on Etsy.

Mary, Mary quite contrary

How does your garden grow?

With silver bells

and cockle shells

And pretty maids all in a row:

Jack and Jill went up the hill

to fetch a pail of water.

Jack fell down 

and broke his crown

and Jill came tumbling after.

Little Bo Peep has lost her sheep

and doesn't know where to find them.

Leave them alone and

they'll come home,

Dragging their tails behind them.

Fourth of July

We are settled in and I am now able to sew in my Attic sewing room, located in my Hansel and Gretel house in Longview, Washington.    Still a little work to do on the room, but I was excited and wanted to get back to the sewing machine. 

To launch the 2017 season I have created a Fourth of July ensemble in a 1970's style that would look great on Julie.   The outfit includes a paneled vest, hip hugging flared jeans, turtleneck tee and a tam hat.   The items are fashioned from tie-dyed denim and white cotton printed with red and blue stars.   For more pictures and information visit my Etsy shop at http://csbsews.com.
