Nancy's Doll Closet is a small one-person shop with all of the American Girl doll outfits designed and stitched by myself, the owner. I love actually making the 18" doll clothes but the task I enjoy the most is creating the patterns for new fashion designs to be offered in my shop. Not all of the outfits are made using my own patterns but a great many are. So many ideas and so little time....
I have learned that there are many aspects to consider when creating each new outfit for the American Girl dolls; historical period, pattern, fabric and trims, but for me the most important aspect of creating any of my doll fashions is the quality construction of each outfit. I make each outfit using the same methods I would use for ordinary clothes. And of course, each of my outfits are one-of-a-kind.

A frequently asked question I get since my name is Becky is 'Where did you get your shop name?'. Here is the story behind the name...
When I started sewing for 18" dolls a few years ago I started with a generic 18" doll from a big-box store. The doll did not have a name when I got her so my handicapped son named her Nancy. Then as the years passed and I collected additional dolls to sew for, some American Girl dolls and some generic dolls, my son and I started calling all of them Nancy. Often when out shopping one of us would find some small thing and say 'this will be perfect for the Nancy's' and we would add it to the dolls collection of accessories. When I decided to sell the clothes online after my retirement we talked about several name possibilities for the shop and then one day my son said, 'why don't we name the shop after the dolls?' And so I did! Nancy's Doll Closet was the perfect name, thanks to my son and his creative thinking.
