A Visit With Doll Shoe Lane!

I love these little shoes. All the ones I am sharing today can be found in a relativity new Etsy shop called Doll Shoe Lane.  Today Shop owner Noah share a bit about the shop.

KMOT: How did you get started sewing doll shoes for American Girl Dolls?

DSL:After I graduated from High School last Spring, I decided I wanted to become an entrepreneur and run my own business. I started out making T-shirts with designs out of heat transfer vinyl and then tried making other things. My mom came up with this idea of me making doll shoes. She runs her own machine embroidery business and she sells the designs. Some of her most popular designs are her doll shoes. She had a lot of requests to sell the actual doll shoes instead of the embroidery file. So she came to me with this idea of making and selling doll shoes on Etsy, and that would help me understand the basics of running my own business. 

KMOT: How many dolls to you have?

DSL: I don’t own any dolls myself. However my two sisters have collected quite a few over the years that I use to model my shoes in the photos. Between the two of them, they have many American Girl dolls and 18” My Twinn Dolls as well as a few department store type dolls.

KMOT: What to like most about this style of doll shoe?

DSL:The nice thing about my doll shoes is that they fit most 18” dolls and they’re made of felt which makes them very flexible to get on and off of the dolls foot.   They also don’t have laces or straps so kids of all ages can dress their dolls super easily.  

KMOT:What is your most favorite shoe to make?

DSL:My favorite shoe to make would probably be the Guitar Slip On, because I actually play guitar, and I enjoy music related things. 

KMOT: Which is your top seller?

My top seller right now would be the Purple Bow Band doll shoes. I have several different varieties of the bow band shoe in different colors.

KMOT: Let us know anything about yourself, your shop or your doll collection that you think our readers would like to know.

DSL: I’m always adding new shoes to my shop so there’s a lot to look at and choose from.  I also started shipping internationally so everyone around the world can enjoy my shoes!

Thank you so much Noah for sharing your shop with us today, personally my favorite are the watermelon shoes! Delightful!
