I began as a kitmaker and still find that that is an important "medium" for me. However, because there are a lot of people who prefer "just patterns" so that they may supply their own materials, I do make some of my designs as "patterns only". However, most of my patterns still have some necessary items included, and some are called "mini kits" because they have even more and stop just short of giving all the fabrics.

Pattern #101 - Antique Doll Pattern - for simple 11"dolls designed in a small scale so as to make with vintage fabrics. A great basic pattern with some favorite aging techniques using my own wax medium, dye, sandpaper and spray starch (supplies for aging included with this pattern).

Pattern #102 - The Millennium Angel - 15" angel with large wings, crossed arms with star. Mohair for hair, wax medium for aging included.

Pattern #103 - Linsey Woolsey Santa - 13" tall Santa. This pattern, though I originally made his robes in vintage linsey-woolsey, is a good basic pattern for a flat-bottomed Santa. His old-fashioned robe and hood with cape lend themselves to many fabrics and the pattern includes lots of accessory ideas to round him out, including how to make an "address book" to hang from his waist tie and a striped stocking to sew or knit yourself. Includes wood base to help make him self-standing.

Pattern #104 - Peace Angel - 16" angel with banner embroidered "PEACE". Kinky mohair for hair, felting needle and wax medium included.

Pattern #105 -8" Raggedies - This is a simple pattern to make two small and antiqued raggedies - boy and girl in one pattern. Pattern includes striped fabric for legs, body fabric, nose and shoe paint, hair and antiquing supplies. I call this one a mini-kit as it has all but the clothing fabric and stuffing.

Pattern #106 - 12" Three Dimensional Cloth Doll - This doll style is a signature pattern for me and it was originally created just for classes due to its very manageable size. She has a painted and antiqued surface with a simple needle-sculpted nose. She has underclothes, plus dress, nightgown and shoes and stockings. This mini-kit contains paints, stencil for her face, hair, buttons and body fabric.

Pattern #107 -Cloth Covered Journals and Binders - Basic instructions for covering journals, 3-ring binders (to store all your patterns, ideas and magazine clippings for dollmaking) or just about any book and how to embellish them to enhance your studio space or give as gifts.

Pattern #107-B -Cloth Covered Boxes Learn how to cover boxes of all shapes with your favorite fabrics. Stacking boxes, a sewing box, rectangular, magazine holder boxes. How to line them and then label them. Suggestions for where to find good boxes are included.

Pattern #108 -Quilted Santa - This painted cloth-faced Santa shows off his quilted and pieced robe on a uniquely constructed body that allows him to stand by himself, through a special technique of weighting the feet. His wonderful presence is created by the layers of clothing and the many fabrics that go into his robe. While none of the steps is hard, he will represent extra time in all the detail, of course, most notably, the coat. However, the coat’s main effort is in choosing and cutting of all the pieces (which are all squares), and once this task is done, the rest is satisfying and moves right along. The robe may also be made of vintage wools, velvets or tapestry types or even a fragment of an old quilt - just use the patterns without doing the quilting. A few options are included for accessories as well. This pattern can provide many many looks from vintage country to Victorian by just altering the fabric choices.

Pattern #109 and #110 - Primitive Animals- A series of nine primitive animals who all average about 8" tall. Their charm is their simplicity and the antiquing that makes them look genuinely old and much handled and loved. Two Patterns are available that make all nine. (There are also full kits for them individually). Pattern #1(has 5 animals) and Pattern #2 (has 4 animals).

The 9" Hannah Dolls Pattern I do love small scale dolls best, and so I find myself going back to the scale I worked in for over 20 years almost exclusively. The 9" Hannah doll was the very first doll I named and appropriately, after my daughter. This doll to me says it all in a cloth doll. I have perfected a Columbian-style pattern as my favorite for ease of successful stuffing and simplified the style of construction while keeping the important details to keep the doll dear. She has a perfect small foot just right to either paint on shoes or not and stitched fingers on her tiny hands. Because of the painted-on hair, it was easy to add a boy and make this a set.The set (both dolls and small cat) comes as a pattern only including how to make the simple lace and with iron-on face transfers or as a limited edition kit with all materials included for the two dolls and small cat. Finished Dolls can be had as a set or singly (with cat).
