Amazing Doll Cape Pattern by Sheryl Williams (Free!) + Cute Grace Comic Strip

Hey You! We are popping in today with some pretty gifts - as always, feel free to share with friends.

We have a special sewing treat for you! The fantastic Sheryl Williams designed this beautiful mantle cape for the Beyond All Limits 2020 Free Virtual Doll Convention attendees. It is a fabulous Mantle (Cape) for 12.5" Jointed Resin Body Doll, a pattern with instructions compliments of Sheryl Williams. This convention was orchestrated as a team effort to support doll collectors worldwide during the start of the pandemic. Thank you so much to Sheryl Williams for this beautiful project for us all to share and enjoy. Download this project and receive the pattern and instructions.

“This charming wardrobe addition can be used for many dolls – both antique and contemporary. It is easy to enlarge or reduce the pattern to suit your needs. Use your imagination for trimming this very versatile cape. Ruched ribbon, fringe, woven trims, or embroidery could be used to embellish this piece. Feel free to experiment and have fun! This cape is really “Beyond All Limits.” - Sheryl Williams

Do you remember the comics section of the newspaper? It used to be my FAVORITE part. When Diana Vining sent me this cute Halloween themed comic strip, it brought me right back to those days. This is one of her art pieces that you will want to print for your VDC Scrapbooks. It’s on the homepage of the VDC website, so cute! Doesn’t it make you want to dress up your Grace doll as Dorothy?

We have announcements coming soon about the Christmas Pageant AND the Showtime 2020 Convention. I also want to let you in on a little secret this month - we have a VIP Teddy Bear friend visiting the shop this month. He has delighted us in the past with lots of entertaining and educational content. You can expect all kinds of happenings from us - can you guess who it is?

Love ya, mean it!
