Bonjour Teaspoon by Jennifer Serr

Amazing Fashion for Girls and Dolls! I bring Amazing Fashion to Girls and Dolls. We also design sewing patterns for 18" dolls like American Girls.

My Primary business is teaching sewing in a shop called the Sewing Room and Style Lounge in Alameda, CA. To support that business, I began creating patterns that are easy to sew and fashionable for my students who range in age from 8-80. For the most part, my students tend to be ages 8-13 so my focus is now on that age group. Some of our Girl patterns and all of our Doll Patterns can be found at www.pixiefaire.com!
