This is the third doll clothing swap I have had the pleasure of hosting. I've enjoyed hosting these swaps and have met several wonderful, talented people doing so. A doll clothing swap is a fun way to add unique outfits to your 18" doll collection. Not sure where to begin? Look through your fabric store's pattern books. Simplicity offers some adorable retro patterns. I highly recommend using a pattern to ensure the proper fit for your partners doll. If you are interested in joining, please read the following information below:

• This swap is for 18" American Girl type dolls.


• All clothing must be sewn. Please no knitted outfits.


• You will create 2 outfits. Each will be sent to a separate swap partner.


• I am defining 'outfit' as a dress, shirt & skirt, or shirt & pant.


• You can display the outfits you give and receive at this Flickr Group


• Sign up is now - May 15th, 2009


• Mail out is June 1st, 2009

I know the above dates sound far away but I want to make sure you have plenty of time to plan and sew your doll clothes. You can sign up here:
