Isn't having grandkids the best thing ever? Or "Grands" as a friend of mine calls them. Such unconditional love. And sewing for them is also so much fun! After the baby-toddler stage (which is wonderful sewing territory!) and my grand daughters became interested in various dolls including Barbie's, I started making Barbie clothes for them. They loved the clothes and I had fun making them so I just kept going. That year, for Christmas, Art, my wonderful hubby, made them a doll "wardrobe" and I made clothes of every size, shape and color!
Meanwhile I couldn't wait for them to be old enough to be interested in American Girl Dolls. At the ages of 6 and 7 they were there and Santa was bringing them each an AG doll for Christmas. 
I started sewing like mad using fabric left over from my costuming days as well as other projects. I made "fancy" dresses, play clothes, party dresses etc. They were very excited and I found I just couldn't stop. I found Etsy, set up a shop, and haven't looked back. I've given up my alterations and tailoring business and Art is building me some shelves for my sewing room for storing all my AG stuff. Doll things are so little but manage to fill up the room! Plus I want to spread out to other size dolls as well.
So the journey begins. I'm hoping some of you love making doll clothes too and we can toss around problems and ideas. Yes?
