Today’s blog post will include links to free pattern pages and tutorial videos you may have missed when they first posted in 2019, so click through links to enjoy this year-in-review overview to its fullest potential!

At the start of 2019, I asked for advice from my regular followers. Based on your suggestions, in 2019, I added new patterns and tutorial videos for each of the following dolls:

• Wellie Wishers
• Mini American Girl dolls (the 6 inch dolls)
• Hearts for Hearts Girls
• 28 Inch Barbie
• Curvy Barbie
• Vintage Crissy dolls
• Skipper
• Francie
• BFC Ink dolls

A lot of additional goals were achieved as well…

Hashtag categories were added for the following:

• #MeMadeMonday — This was a way for me to show off pretty photographs of my dolls modeling the clothes that would be featured in the upcoming week.
• #TapeMeasureTuesday — This feature offered both metric and imperial measurements for dolls, for sewing purposes.
• #PDFpatternWednesday — On Wednesdays, I offered patterns in PDF format. Some were JPG patterns that I’d converted to PDFs for easier download; others were brand new PDF patterns.
• #SewingBloggerThursday — On Thursdays I usually offered new patterns, new tutorials, or tips for improving your doll clothes sewing techniques.
• #SewingBloggerFriday — This hashtag was similar to to the #SewingBloggerThursday feature.
• #FridayFollow — Most Fridays spotlighted websites and online venues of special interest to people who enjoy sewing for dolls.

But by far the largest accomplishment was the re-organization of all patterns and tutorials by categories, which are now available through the Gallery on the Home Page. I have yet to create a gallery for GI Joe (Hasbro hasn’t sent me their approval letter yet) but I’m super proud of this accomplishment nonetheless.
