Thank you, Suzanne! Glad you have been inspired
I like your way of thinking…”my dolls deserve to have beautiful costumes. and i deserve to treat myself to the time to make them.” I think you may have just inspired ME! …..to take the time and make something new for one of my girls!

i am totally amazed. i have never seen such beautiful work, choice of fabrics, trims so beautifully coordinated.and such beautiful workmanship. i note that your work is by hand… i didn’t know that anyone else preferred to sew by hand, not that i’m in your league as a seamstress. you truly have inspired me … i will get into my stash and do something ( usually i just play in it ). my dolls deserve to have beautiful costumes. and i deserve to treat myself to the time to make them. i will certainly visit your site again. thank you.

Thank you, Vivian!
I bet you never imagined the little Bleuette you bought in the 70s would later become such a popular doll…
I LOVE your story about all her shoes! Thank you for sharing that! My girls would be VERY jealous of her extensive shoe collection and especially that she doesn’t even have to SHARE them!

Oh, your outfits are exquisite! I have really enjoyed going through your site.
I have a Bleuette I bought from an estate sale in the 1970s. She is golden haired and came with two outfits. I found a little instruction book on cobbling shoes. I had a large collection of kid gloves (I was born a collector! I was only a kid at the time) and I made her a dozen shoes, sandals, boots and mocs. The poor girl now has three outfits and some 25 pairs of shoes in a rainbow of colors! LOL
Thank you for your website.

Suzanne, Thank you for your very kind words about my work. My hope is to inspire others to sew for their Bleuettes, too!

Thanks for the eye candy. You are, with a doubt, the most talented seamstress I can imagine! Your sewing is lovely….the stitching perfect. I wish my work was anywhere near as nice. Add to that your meticulous choice of color and fabric….just wonderful… Thanks again.

Thank you so much!
I love the use of vintage fabrics and trims, too. There is something about sewing with vintage that you just cant duplicate with new items.

Wow, you are so talented. Your Bleuettes are very lucky girls! I love the use of vintage fabrics and every little detail is amazing.
