In case you’d forgotten, I’ve been posting patterns and tutorials for making the following Swedish traditional costume, which fits 18-inch dolls like American Girl dolls, Madame Alexander dolls, etc… I plan to re-post the bonnet pattern this week, plus post a YouTube tutorial on how to make it. Next week I’ll post the vest pattern and tutorial, and then we’ll have the whole costume!

I’m also running a new sweepstakes giveaway for a Barbie-sized/Liv doll-sized hairdresser’s smock, apron, and hairdresser chair. This giveaway is just in time for holiday gift-giving! Here’s the spot to go, if you want to sign up to win.
