I've always loved History, especially fashions from the past! It's so cool to see the different clothing styles worn by girls back then. Julia from the Sew Goes It Etsy Shop thinks so too! She makes and sells beautiful American Girl historical clothes of different time periods.
Julia has generously donated her Pink Butterfly Dress and Bonnet to give away to one of you! But, first let's get to know Julia and Sew Goes It better with an interview! (Keep reading to find out how to enter the giveaway!)...
When did you learn how to sew?
I learned to sew 30 years ago. Sewing and crafting has always been a part of my life. My mother taught me to sew and my grandmother taught me to crochet.
Where does your inspiration come from?
My inspiration for my sewing comes from the fabric. I look at a piece of fabric and imagine what the dress will look like, what trims to use and what accessories will complete the outfit.
Do you have any American Girl dolls yourself? Do you have a favorite?
I have nine American Girl dolls, a set of twins and a Bitty Baby. I started with a JLY doll that I styled after my daughter and started collecting after that. So she would be my favorite, but I love all of them and can't wait to add more to my family.
What is your favorite part about having your shop, Sew Goes It?
My favorite part is making my doll clothes, knowing that someone likes them and is going to play with them. I have recieved several pictures of my clothes from buyers and they hold a special place in my heart.
Thank you so much for sharing with us, Julia! This is such a gogeous pink dress with so many details. The bonnet really completes the look, with lace trim on the inside. Elizabeth loves it!
