My doll sewing journey began at ten years old when I hand sewed my first colonial dress from a McCall’s Crafts pattern and gave it to my best friend for her Felicity. Over the next several years I continued to enjoy making doll clothes and accessories as gifts for family and friends. The concept of an Etsy shop for 18” historical doll fashions grew organically out of that hobby and my love of classic literature and period dramas.
Every outfit in my shop has been handmade in my home sewing studio. I strive to make each outfit a little work of art, combining quality materials with attention to detail to produce one-of-a-kind collector worthy dresses and ensembles. Today “A Stitch in Time’s Line” has over five hundred sales, hundreds of five-star reviews, and a loyal customer base for which I am so very grateful. I am now working on expanding my business to include sewing patterns, with three currently published and more to come. I’m truly enjoying the opportunity to encourage the creativity and cottage industry of other amazing doll sewists by sharing my designs with others!

Thank you for visiting A Stitch in Time’s Line!
