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!

5 out of 5 starsThe pattern was instantly ready for download after purchase. The instructions were easy to follow with clear colored pictures and helpful sewing notes. I was very pleased with how well the dress came together and fit my doll exactly. I will be buying other patterns from this maker.

5 out of 5 starsThis pattern was very easy to follow. The chemise was easy to sew, but I will add that it is very fitted and would be difficult for a child to put on/off. I made the untrimmed jumper, so I got to skip a few steps, and finished in 2 sittings. This pattern fits my Tenney perfectly, so an older (plumper) doll will probably need more room at the back. As an adult collector, I'm in love with this pattern and will certainly be sewing more!

5 out of 5 starsThis is a wonderful historic PDF pattern for 18" dolls! There is a special section on the history of the style of dress used for this pattern. Everything is in great detail with accompanying illustrations to help along the way. I can't wait to make my own dress version of this pattern.
