Introduction
Dolls love fashion just as much as the people who love dressing them up. Whether you are a knitter, a doll collector or a girl who loves to dress up her dolls, you will enjoy getting your hands on these new outfits for the ever-popular 18-inch dolls.
We have included something for every season. Head back to school with Preppy Patty, to a water front vacation with Beachwear Billie or perhaps head out in the snow with Wintertime Winnie. Each outfit comes with the accessories you need to complete the look.
We hope you will enjoy making these fun new outfits for your 18-inch dolls just as much as the dolls will love wearing them!
Meet the Designer
PHOTO BY GREG SEAVER
At the age of 7, I learned to knit, and I was a natural at the craft. I soon started making sweaters for my Barbie dolls and my dog, Mitzi. Designing entered my life at an early age.
In high school, I had the opportunity to work at a local yarn shop. It was there I learned about fibers and sweater designing. My goal in life was to own a yarn shop of my own.
I opened Knits & Pearls in 2004 and introduced many of my designs from previous years to my customers. Since then I have created many more designs. They have been published in numerous magazines and books, including Easy Cable Knits for All Seasons, Modular Knitting Made Easy, Fun to Knit Doll Clothes and Seamless (or Nearly Seamless) Knits. I feel so blessed and am grateful for everyone who has believed in me.
I reside in Johnson City, Tenn., with my wonderful husband, Terry, who has been a gem through book writings and two furry kids (cats), Billie and Blue. I just couldn’t ask for a better life!
