Great Spring Shoes and outfits from My Girl Clothing Co. another Etsy Gem!

 I found this wonderful shop while on Etsy the other day. What drew me in was their shoes!

I love Doll shoes, as you may know, I think they add so much to doll play wardrobes. My Girl Clothing Co. offers their wonderful shoes from $8-$12 and are just beautiful!

These boots caught my eye and I had to share them with all of you!

I love how these fun shoes look on the dolls foot!

 

These shoes are perfect for American girl dolls and Springfield Dolls alike

 This wonderful shop offers more then 230 items not just wonderful shoes but also all kinds of great accessories and outfits.

This beautiful set will work in any doll wardrobe and any outfit from casual jeans to a wonderful Spring Dress.

 

I love the colors in this set and how wonderful Madison looks in this outfit!

I asked Donna a bit about her shop, sewing and experience. I am so thankful she agreed to let me share it with all of you.
I always wonder how people get started with Sewing for 18 inch dolls and Donna shared this with me.
"I got started sewing for American Girl dolls about 27 years ago, when my youngest daughter asked for one for Christmas. She got Samantha, which right now, is the only American girl doll that I have, and that is just in keeping, because she will go to my granddaughter when she is old enough. The other dolls are Springfield, and 2 of the dolls are from LTD Commodities, not expensive, but a different face to play with. After my daughter outgrew her doll, she got put away for about 20 years. Last year I decided to get her out and start sewing again for her. My 2 granddaughters are just babies, but I wanted to get a head start on collecting for the dolls. After getting laid off 3 years ago, after 25 years in the travel industry, my kids finally convinced me to start a business making the doll clothes. They know that I love to do it, and know what I am capable of. I still had the patterns from Pleasant Co. for Samantha, and Molly, and a few others I had bought. Now I have many more, and if I don't, I make one. I can't say I have a favorite thing to make, as everything usually comes out so cute, and I love making the clothes. This is the first time in my life, I can truly say that I really love my job!!!"

I love to know what inspires people...
" What inspires me, are when people see my work, and just go on about how well made they are. I really don't like seeing poor work on doll clothes, that other people are selling. I think, also, that is what made me think I could really do well at this."

 Her tent is a real testament to her sewing abilities! Offered at $65 it sleeps 3 American Girl or 18 inch dolls.

I loved her shoes and I had to know more about them...
 "The shoes are a surprise to me. I thought I would try making a pair this fall, and have just kept on going. A girl has to have good shoes for her outfits. Sometimes I just see a pair of shoes somewhere, and then I try to make them. I really want to be different in my creations, to give all the doll lovers out there more choices. Ag is great, but is limited to what you can buy, and then they discontinue, too bad."

"I am also inspired by the children, I like to think I am inspiring imagination in a child when she plays with her doll. When Etsy lets me add more sections, I want to do a green(recycled) section, it's important, and sends a good message. Also, very soon I will sell complete seasonal wardrobes. Great for beginning a doll collection, or maybe a grandmother who needs a gift"

I could not agree more!
