The “Sound of Music” is one of this designer's all-time favorite movies. The story is captivating, the music is unforgettable, and the costumes are a feast for the eyes. She has been wanting to recreate a number of the costumes from the movie for years, and the dress Liesel wore when they sang “So Long, Farewell” had to be the first!

The bodice of the dress echos a traditional dirndl with the off-shoulder neckline and faux chemise, but the bubble hem on the fully lined sleeves gives it an almost ethereal appearance. The dress fastens in the back with five buttons (hook-and-loop tape can be used if preferred) and the full-circle skirt makes it perfect for dancing. To complete the outfit, instructions for double-bow ribbon sash are included.

The mortarboard cap got its name as the shape of the graduation cap started to resemble the shape of the flat board used by bricklayers to lay mortar. Soon thereafter, the idea that the cap represented the hard work and knowledge it took to become a master workman was tied to the years of hard work a student put in to build up the knowledge leading to graduation. For more than 100 years, the mortarboard cap has become a widely used symbol of academia and learning across the globe. The pattern for our mortarboard cap features a cloth covered mortarboard top attached to a fitted cap. Elastic in the bottom edge of the cap makes for a sure fit. A tutorial is included for making the cloth covered button on the top of the cap from a plain shank or flat button. Also included with this pattern are tutorials for making two types of tassels and honor cords as well as a pattern for a graduation stole.

The Victorian Era ushered in a new kind of freedom. Until this time, elaborate clothing had been reserved for the noble and the wealthy, but the industrial revolution had made fabrics and trims cheap, the sewing machine made sewing fast, and the development of synthetic dyes made it possible to create just about any color under the sun. All of this suddenly became available to the general public and whole new realm of elaborate dress design flourished and became available to the average woman.

The Literary Society dress is an example of a fashionable dress that would have been popular in the 1870s. This two-piece dress is cut in the fashionable silhouette of the time with a full back, higher waistline, sloped shoulders, and form fitted sleeves. The front of the skirt is finished with a ruched overlay that drapes over a ruffled hemline (the ruching is optional if a plain front is preferred). Five rows of ruffles accentuate the full skirt back. The ruffles and ruching can be edged with lace or left plain. The bodice features a built in underbodice with a high neckline that accentuates the low square-cut overbodice neckline. The square neckline can be finished with a ruffle for formal social events or left plain for casual outings such as a seaside adventure. The underbodice fastens in the back with a single button and loop closure and the overbodice fastens in back with two buttons and a snap at the waistline (hook and loop tape or snaps can be used, if preferred). The bodice waistline is defined by a narrow fabric band that sits just above the natural waistline and a series of drapes and aprons are hung from it to add the quintessential 1870s layering draping details. The sleeves of the bodice are fitted and can be finished with a plain hem or with a lace edge and side slit that creates an elegant flare at the wrist.

This dress can be worn by itself, but for the full effect it is recommended that it is worn over our Primrose Chemise and Lobster Tail Bustle.

This dress is easier to make than it looks, however it is rated as advanced because it requires you to pay close attention to the details in the instructions.

This PDF sewing pattern by Thimbles and Acorns is designed to fit 18-inch dolls such as American Girl®.

Fashion is where expression meets practicality and lures it into the realm of the extreme. Though fashion trends have a tendency to push the limits, practicality always manages to bring them back into balance... at least for a time. Full skirts were the hallmark of the early Victorian era and by the 1860s they had expanded to as wide as six feet in diameter. However, as railroads began forging paths around the world, women began to travel more and more. Full skirts and crinolines made for poor traveling companions and the boundary for this fashion trend had been reached. Still, it would be a gallant exit. The 1870s saw a great boom in the textile industry. Hand looms were replaced by more efficient steam driven power looms which resulted in a larger supply of cloth and fancy trims at greatly reduced prices. The great cage crinolines were shed and the surplus fabric from the full skirts was draped in elaborately decorated layers and pulled toward the back in large bustles that were reminiscent of those worn a century earlier. The fashionable silhouette had become smaller and more mobile.

Use this Lobster Tail style bustle to enhance your favorite 1870s style dress.  Pattern includes a bonus Petticoat!

More About Pixie Packs: Cinnamon Miles, Karin Pascho, and Melinda Schlimmer are obsessive about fabric! As the Design Team for Liberty Jane Clothing they are constantly seeking new and interesting fabric choices. Their search frequently takes them to special locations like Mood in New York, the famed fabric store that is frequently featured in Project Runway, and Britex in San Francisco - the iconic West Coast fabric destination. The result of their endless searching means that they find things that you will rarely see in your local JoAnn's or other local retailers. Now they are bringing their love for fabric to you through Pixie Packs! Each Pixie Pack is carefully curated and assembled by the Liberty Jane Team with the goal of providing you with a fantastic fabric collection for your new doll clothes project.

Because of the way these fabrics are sourced, purchased, and assembled, the quantity available for each Pixie pack is very limited and will almost certainly never be repeated in exactly the same way twice.

Love the look of a straw hat, but can't find one you like to fit your doll. This pattern, by Thimbles and Acorns, will show you how to create three different types of doll-size straw hats from a single ladies size paper raffia straw hat. Use half of the brim of the hat to make a Summery Sun visor with an elastic back that will be perfect for day at the beach or a summer picnic. Want to do a little historical costuming? Use the other half of the brim to make a Soft Crown Regency Bonnet. Finally, reshape the crown of the hat to make a modern looking Somerset hat or a 19th century Poke Bonnet. All these hats are fairly easy to make and a great way to repurpose used paper straw hats.

This pattern is designed to fit 18-inch dolls such as American Girl®.

Suggested Straw Goods: Summery Sun Visor can be made from the brim of a braided paper raffia straw hat or visor. 100% paper raffia is recommended, but paper woven with a fine polyester fiber can work as well.

Soft Crown Regency Bonnet can be made from the brim of a braided paper raffia straw hat, visor, or placemat. 100% paper raffia is recommended, but paper woven with a fine polyester fiber can work as well. A lightweight real straw can be used, but may be more difficult to work with. Woven straw is not recommended for this project. Somerset Hat or Poke Bonnet is made from the crown of a braided paper raffia straw hat. 100% paper raffia is recommended, but paper woven with a fine polyester fiber can work as well. Real or woven straw is not recommended for this project. And adult size crown was used for this pattern, but a child size crown yields the best results. Suggested Fabrics: Summery Sun Visor Trim in light to medium weight cotton fabrics. Not suitable for knits. Soft Crown Regency Bonnet in light to medium weight cotton, linen, or silk. Not suitable for knits. Interfacing for Somerset Hat or Poke Bonnet in medium weight muslin.

World War I and the Women's Suffrage Movement heavily influenced women's fashions between 1914 and 1920. As men went off to fight, women took on jobs formerly filled by men and a new image of freedom and self respect was embraced by women. By 1914, women's clothing had lost the rigid, tailored lines of the Edwardian period and gave way to softer more comfortable fashions. Skirts became shorter and colors became more somber as they often do during wartime.

The Bowling Pin dress emerged as a way to add subtle feminine curves at the hip line with minimal fabric and without the need of confining corsets. This design by Thimbles and Acorns features a loose fitting bodice with a dropped two layer center inset. A little fullness is gathered into the front waistline of the bodice to add a little shape. The low hanging shawl collar gives it a relaxed appearance with a slight flare at the ends for a bit of panache. Simple ¾ length sleeves give the dress a finished look without detracting from the key design details. The calf-length dress is full at the waistline and tapers down to the hemline to give it the “bowling pin” shape. Banded pockets are optional. The dress fastens in the back with three buttons, but hook and loop tape or snaps can be used if preferred. A simple sash with artsy double-knotted ends defines the waistline and accentuates the collar and pocket details.

This PDF sewing pattern is designed to fit 18" dolls such as American Girl®.

Recommended Fabrics: Dress and Dress Contrast in light to mid weight cotton, linen, lawn, dotted Swiss, voile, or silk. Not suitable for knits. Sash in lightweight cotton, synthetic lining, silk, crepe, gauze, or chiffon.

Everyone who grew up in the 80s remembers those trendy bright plastic shoes we called jellies. Although predecessors to these shoes probably originated in the late 50s or early 60s, it wasn't until the 1982 World's Fair in Knoxville, Tennessee the jelly craze took off. The 80s was totally into all things bright and synthetic and jelly shoes.  At first, although they were cheap to produce, their high price tag made them chic to wear. Soon high demand and brand knock-offs brought prices down to as low as $1 a pair and kids were buying them in every color and style under the sun.

Make your own 18 inch doll size version of these jelly shoes using a handful of glue sticks and the instructions from this pattern, by Thimbles and Acorns, to make a simple mold from household silicone and cornstarch!
