Once upon a time I sewed for myself, then I got married. I continued sewing for me, my family, then my two boys grew up and got married and had children. Grandma to the rescue: I started sewing for the grand children and great grand children and magically miles of fabric became fantasy dresses, doll dresses, little boy digs, but alas, the children grew up and grandma turned to Fashion Doll Custom garments.
For a brief time I created Fancy Dog Clothes for all those wonderful Fur Babies out there.
With that phase of my sewing behind me I ventured into new dolls like the Ghastly Ladies and a 22" American Model. As I get older the larger ladies are easier to sew for.
It has been a lifetime of joy creating beautiful garments from Eye Candy Fabrics from around the World!!!
My crowning glory was winning the Doll Contest for my beautiful 18th Century gown.
Stay tuned, I'm entering another 18th Century style in 2025!!

Some of my client's comments:

Satisfied customers' remarks:
• Joan worked diligently to find the perfect materials, kept in touch regularly to offer suggestions, and made a dress for my Boxer pup that is just stunning! Then I mentioned a hat ... she offered to make one and it is my favorite dog accessory. She even made my two Boxer boys some matching attire for the birthday occasion. I highly recommend Joan for special pet attire. Everything fit each pup perfectly :)
• Perfectly custom made parade dress for my Golden Retriever. Highly recommend this seller. Cannot say how beautiful the dress really is...photos don’t capture the exquisiteness. 🐾
• My baby girl looks so stunning for her Xmas pictures Saturday. Joan is the absolute sweetest. I’ll definitely be back soon!
• Joan Binkley is one of the most talented seamstresses that I've had the pleasure of working with. Together we collaborated on a homage gown of the "WHITE OLYMPUS BALL GOWN" that Bette Davis wore in WARNER BROTHER'S "Jezebel ". It was so much fun and is so period specific to the gloves pantaloons and hoop skirt. The lace was hand chosen by Joan and she was careful to select just the right fabric to mimic the grandeur of the original gown. It is now proudly part of my collection of OOAK Gene Marshall dolls that I began 10 years ago collecting for my grand-daughters. They more than likely won't be in as much LOVE with them as I am, but it is so much fun to enjoy these fashions w/the Gene Community at large. Kudo's to Joan for her mastery in designs.

Let me create your Fantasy design!!
