Tackling the Tiniest Patterns Ever

For a long time, I was afraid to attempt sewing doll clothes because they are so darn microscopic. I've had these Kirsten American Girl patterns for years and years that my mom (excuse me, I mean Santa) had given me for Christmas one year. I was always nervous to put them to use. Doll patterns just seem to have so many pieces and a lot of very minuscule detail work. It wasn't until about a year ago when I opened my shop on Etsy that I decided to brave the doll clothes world, but I am sure glad that I did.

I started with making copies of the actual retired American Girl doll clothes, and I've made at least a dozen other different dresses since.

I didn't realize how much fun making doll clothes would be. It's basically like making the poofiest princess dresses you've ever seen, but in miniature. EVERYTHING in miniature is cuter than the original.

The best sellers on Pumpkin Coach Boutique seem to be the retired Kirsten "School Dress" in burgundy and the Dorothy Wizard of Oz outfit. I've also recently added a princess line that features Cinderella, Snow White, and Belle.

Working on adding Tink and possibly her fairy friends next!
