Wow like seriously the speed your wife took to be at that level of sewing takes most people a lifetime. I would definitely buy her work. She's an absolute pro🤩
Yes we are - we used to run an Etsy shop (not doll related) together so we definitely enjoy making things. I always say maybe it's because as sign language interpreters our work yields nothing tangible we can "show and tell" lol.
Yeah - I've taught myself a lot of things and on some levels I'm more willing to dive into a project than Grace is. But this seems DAUNTING and I'm so impressed she's committed to learning.
Wow!!!! First of all, I've made the first 2 items (I actually cut out another pair of moto pants on Tuesday), so I know what it takes to make those. Let me tell you that I'm not sure my work would be close up worthy like Grace's is! Everything you showed looks absolutely perfect! All those tiny, precise seams! All the details! Lined jackets! I consider myself an expert sewer, so I feel qualified to say that her work is hella impressive! To be that good in such a short amount of time is amazing! And I could feel your appreciation in this video! To me, that is worth more than any price I might be paid for my work. To spend that time on something and know the recipient appreciates it so much. I'm quite sure that was the highlight of the holiday for her!
Aw, thanks! I'll be sure to read all these comments to her and the ones from fellow sewists probably mean the most since you can fully appreciate what went into it.
Great video. I’m so glad you show cased Grace’s sewing. She did a wonderful job. I especially love that green jacket! Wow that hounds tooth dress and Sg. pepper inspired jacket. Love it! I would like to try sewing doll clothes one day. I will probably start with hand sewing until I get a sewing machine. Thanks for sharing! And yes Nora is a pretty cute model. 😊
Grace! You did an amazing job on those pieces! 🥳 and you need to try these tips & tricks for knit fabrics! Here are my top 4! 1. Steamy iron! Use it to reshape your hems, pull any knits that seem to have stretched out back together and the steam will make a piece look fresh again. Just ❤my steamy iron! 2. Coffee filters are your BFFs! Yes coffee filters! Cheap ones from Dollar tree will work. Press them out with your hand then cut in half. Use them under the knit so the fabric does not get eaten by the dog feet. This will save your life and a lot of hair too! After you have finished sewing that section you just worked on, simply pull the coffee filter apart like you are tearing off a perforated ticket, just go slow so you don’t break the stitch. The coffee filter should not line up with the fabric edges but be about a half inch to an inch past the edge so the knit won’t go into the dog feet and get caught. Hope that makes sense but let me know if you need a picture. 3. This is what i do with my machine - I have to lengthen my stitch by one or two. Typical, standard stitch is 2.5 but for knit or really heavy sweater knit I use 3.0 or 3.5 stitch length. But i also almost always use the basic straight stitch too. Some people like the knit stitch, it has more give then a straight stitch. Just a preference thing. But i always lengthen my stitch for knits. 4. If you can adjust the pressure foot to less pressure, that’s how my machine works the best with knit. I had to read my manual a few times to figure that one out. 🙄 Knits I avoid like the black plague - tissue or thin t-shirt knit. You know that super thin stuff. Yuck! It never comes out looking good. Ponte knit - super thick and has broken several needles. Still don’t know how that is possible but I don’t buy it anymore. I buy almost all of my knit from JoAnn now that they are carrying decent knit again but I do recommend buying an 1/8 yard of different knits and testing them out to see what you like best and how your machine handles them. Luckily the dolls don’t talk back if the fit isn’t perfect and you really are the only one that will notice if there is a flaw. Good Luck and hope you fall in ❤❤❤ with some knits! 😊
Wow! Grace did such amazing work!!! The lined jackets 😮 As someone who sews, that is so much work 😳 And the level of detail ❤ She made great neutral pieces for you, that we know you will be able to style 100+ ways! What great gifts! So sweet 🥹 💗
Right?! I think sewists particularly recognize the work involved in those two jackets. I love how much use I'll get out of these and I'm so, so proud of how far she's come!
Wow, she has clearly put in the work! I was never interested in learning to sew before but since really getting into doll collecting as an adult I’ve wished I could make clothes for them. I don’t have a machine, but I’m pretty sure my mom has one that she never uses, so… 👀👀👀
Thank you for sharing all Grace’s creations with us! It’s so hard to pick a favorite. Grace is so talented and kudos to you for ALWAYS lifting her up. I’m certain your support serves as fuel to her success! I would like to see a video of ALL your Christmas gifts in one swoop even if a quick one. I’m wondering what craft supplies you got. Merry Christmas! 🎄🥰
I'm going to forego one video of all the goodies because I've spent a few hours putting everything away over the past few days, but I'll definitely show the craft supplies. Especially because you recommended a couple of them ;-)
Right off the back, Bam! One of my favorite patterns, the moto pants! The last outfit, I’ve made this past year but my flats are cut out and still not sewn. She’s really progressed in her sewing. She’s doing really really well. Doing the eyelets is sometimes fun and sometimes hair ripping. Her top stitching is beautiful! A hint that I use for knits is to put a slightly less than 1/4” strip of iron on interfacing onto the seam allowance.
everything is so adorable! i love it!! i was actually surprised this holiday season with Claudie! I love her so much, she is such a cute doll. I also got Kirstens quilt, which i had been searching for forever! Kirsten is and will forever be my favorite so to have her quilt is so special to me anyway, im rambling. tell your wife that she did a FANTASTIC job! I love everything here and i so hope she opens up an etsy shop!!
I passed on the compliment and we shall see about an Etsy shop. CONGRATS on getting Claudie. She is one of my favorites and I hope they continue to bring more and more new products out for her.
I am so so impressed with how far Grace has come in just a year! That last outfit is seriously amazing! I love that you spoke about being vocally proud of your partner and how kids pick up on that! Definitely something I will keep in the back of my mind for whenever my husband and I have kids one day! You picked a good one! ❤❤❤
Thank you so much!! Kids really do pick up on all of those things - I'm quick to own it when I mess up and today our little one was REALLY mean to Grace this morning. I explained she had hurt momma's feelings and she didn't seem to care one bit, but about 40 minutes later when the two of them were sitting together at the table, she told Grace out of the blue, "I'm sorry I was mean to you earlier." We just have to model it and have faith it will stick in time. :-)
Grace did excellent work on these! My mother and sister were seamstresses-I did not get that talent, but can recognize it. You and Grace are blessed to have each other.
My fave piece is the khaki jacket, I think it could lean veeery historical which is my thing :) the tailoring on the back and the little triangle pockets are wonderfully executed, let alone the *lining*
Yeah, I think that jacket might be my favorite. It works for historical, edgy, sophisticated, etc. And I think it was the one that most made me go, "Whoa - she is REALLY progressing!"
Amazing Grace! I’m not even finished watching your video, and I had to stop and comment. I am blown away with how talented Grace is. As soon as I saw the first pair of pants, I said “She should have an Etsy shop!” And they just kept getting better and better! I can see why you are so proud of her. I love everything she made. Lucky you !❤
I’m finally catching up today. WOW I’m SO impressed with her growth! The cloths last year were amazing but she’s really outdone herself this year. The details! The jacket is super adorable. All the cloths are spectacular. Great job Grace!
Wow! I've been sewing for a long time and Grace's talents far exceed mine. All items are spectacular. My favourite is the white jacket with the black accents. I will definitely be watching for her Etsy shop.
Grace is so talented and she can definitely start up her own Etsy shop. Thank you for sharing all of this with us! Amazing! #2 is my favorite (so much skill involved in those pieces) and #9 is a close 2nd.
You are so welcome! I've offered to dress some dolls in these items and actually put shoes and jewelry on them and do their hair so she can photograph them in more interesting settings. So if she takes me up on the offer, they'll be on her Insta sometime soonish.
@@agtakesover It will be interesting to see what she decides. But if she decides not to, I wouldn't blame her at all. Doing it for fun may feel completely different than doing it to sell.
Just wow - Grace did such a great job! There is so much good stuff in this video. I will say that my favorite pieces are the 2 jackets, the grey pants, the jeans and the maroon/cranberry skirt. I want that olive jacket in multiple colors.
I sew and have for many years, although I no longer have my sewing machines. I personally found it difficult to sew for dolls, so I stopped doing it. Grace’s sewing is outstanding. Basically, the level that she’s at now is expert. 💖
Grace is doing a great job with her doll clothes. Your gifts all look great! I'm looking forward to the Maplelea video you mention as upcoming. I've been thinking of trying some of their clothes and have especially wondered about the shoes. I'm sure you'll give us the lowdown on fit.
One thing I can say before the video comes out is that Maplelea sells a lot of outfits without shoes, so I prefer to forego the shoes they sell separately and buy AG ones. But yeah...I'll give you a lowdown :-)
Great video! I love what you said! You are a very nice person!❤️ So glad you received all those nice things for your dolls! Hope you have a great day!😃
Kristie, I gotta say, WOW! Please, please tell Grace that she is super talented and inspiring! I would totally buy doll clothes from her! All of the pieces are my favorite! Me, I’m super bored and lonely & I’m looking forward to the Meet-Up! 🤟🏽
'Sorry you're feeling bored and lonely, but I'm glad the meet-up is something to look forward to. And I'll be sure to pass on your compliments to Grace!
Thanks. Someone just asked me how long she's been sewing. She looked up when she got her sewing machine and it was the beginning of 2022, so about 2 years. I think I might do a video showing all the things she's made over those two years :-)
She said if she does it'll be the kind that doesn't keep things stocked but just does releases when she accumulates enough items for one. Either way, our dolls are DEFINITELY reaping the benefits :-)
I passed on your compliment and she laughed and said, "I don't recommend it" lol. Then again, she's dealing with some significant neck pain the past few days so she's not the happiest atm ;-) I'm glad you liked the video and I agree she's gotten really good!
I think so too! She was working on a bunch of stuff and planning to open an Etsy shop, but then she ran out of steam. Waiting for the elusive motivation to attack again at the moment lol.
Grace did an absolutely stunning job! Just an absolute WOW from me. I literally gasped when I saw the green coat. She's come so far and worked so hard! ETA: If Grace were to start an Etsy, I would be the epitome of that "SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY" gif. ETA2: I just requested a Maplelea catalog because they keep popping up on my Insta feed, demonstrating that their shoes fit AG dolls, and now I'm VERY curious about your Maplelea haul that you mentioned.
I'll give you this "sneak peek" info - the shoes technically fit AG dolls, but sometimes they look a little odd. But the good news is a lot of their outfits are sold without shoes, so out of everything I received, I only ended up with one pair of shoes I probably won't use (even though they technically fit). You will NOT regret shopping with them.
Kristie 😮ok this comment is for your wife. Grace, get that Etsy shop up girl 🤩 your pieces are stunning 🤩 🎉 👏 I can not even sew a straight line. I am so in aww with your talent. Beautiful haul. ❤
Wow! All of the things she makes are gorgeous! I would definitely think that you purchased them from an etsy shop. I think my favorite piece is the corset top, it's so adorable! Right now I'm working on gathering all my patterns, but I hope I can make some items for my dolls that are half as pretty. I'm a beginner so I expect a few fails haha
My favorites are the Green jacket, red skirt and the plaid skirt. The white jacket reminded me of Marching Band uniforms and I loved being in the Marching Band. Haven't been around for Grace's Sewing journey but I'll say it again, if she opens an Etsy Shop , I will gladly purchase from her.
I love your Nora. She’s prettier than 11, tbh. I love the freckles and shorter hair length. Grace did such a beautiful job! I especially love the white and green jackets. Liberty Jane has the best jackets. I sometimes wish I had the patience to learn to sew better. I’m still very much an amateur.
I passed on your kind compliments. And I'm hoping to get an 11 soon, so it'll be nice to see their very different versions of beautiful :-) Nora is definitely a gem!
She’s an excellent seamstress, I sew, and her work is awesome. Her attention to detail is on point , and it show’s with those jackets . . 💜💜.. Happy New year 🎉
There are some really great patterns from Keepers Dolly Duds! I’d love to see what she can do with them. There are a lot of the old patterns from PC too for the historicals. If she does open an Etsy shop, please share and I have a name suggestion for the shop: “Touch of Grace” ❤ Merry Christmas!
I would love to know what pattern she used for the jackets. I have been sewing for years and Grace is doing a great job. She really has an eye for details. Everything is sew cute! 😊
Tell Grace that she did an amazing job and to never worry that her clothing isn't as nice as store-bought. I've gotten some really questionable items from AG this last year. Very poor cutting and pattern alignment. Had they not been on sale I would have returned them and one (Molly's school jumper) I will probably never use. Tell Grace that the original Pleasant company patterns are very good and turn out nicely, if she's interested in trying some historical items.
Oh, no. Molly's school outfit was one of the few things we bought on sale recently and now you have me worried. Fingers crossed we get one that's made as well as the clothing Grace sewed :-)
This is a wonderful video, it goes beyond the clothes, Kristie! What great pieces of clothing 🤩🤩 No pressure for Grace but if she decides to create the Etsy store it would be a success
Wow like seriously the speed your wife took to be at that level of sewing takes most people a lifetime. I would definitely buy her work. She's an absolute pro🤩
Thank you so much - I'm reading all these compliments to her and love that she gets to see her work be appreciated!
I am so very impressed with the detail and quality of all the clothes Grace made! Aren't you both so lucky to have such creativity in your family!😍
Yes we are - we used to run an Etsy shop (not doll related) together so we definitely enjoy making things. I always say maybe it's because as sign language interpreters our work yields nothing tangible we can "show and tell" lol.
I sew and your wife just did a beautiful beautiful job. I am speachless she taught herself how to sew so well. Just lovely. Thank you for sharing.
Yeah - I've taught myself a lot of things and on some levels I'm more willing to dive into a project than Grace is. But this seems DAUNTING and I'm so impressed she's committed to learning.
What amazing work! Grace has a tremendous eye for detail!
Thanks - I'll be sure to pass on your compliments!
I'm in awe of Grace's skill and talent. And I really love how you and Grace play together. You are an awesome team.
Thank you! And yes, we're pretty luck to have each other :-)

Maybe you could start by using it at her place and then if she sees you're making use of it it can move to your place :-)
That burnt orange skirt with the black buttons is insanely cute!!!! Also that silver grey corset is literally the coolest thing I've even seen!!!
Aw, thanks - I'll be sure to pass on your compliments!

She did an awesome job on the sewing!!
I wholeheartedly agree
the t shirt dress at 7:25 looked so complex im so impressed. grace is super super talented and has improved so much!!

She’s an excellent seamstress, I sew, and her work is awesome. Her attention to detail is on point , and it show’s with those jackets . . 💜💜.. Happy New year 🎉
I love passing on all these compliments to her. And yes - the jackets in particular wowed me.
There are some really great patterns from Keepers Dolly Duds! I’d love to see what she can do with them. There are a lot of the old patterns from PC too for the historicals.
If she does open an Etsy shop, please share and I have a name suggestion for the shop: “Touch of Grace”
❤ Merry Christmas!
I passed "Touch of Grace" on to her as a suggestion. We shall see. She said she's checked out Keepers Dolly Duds - so many good options!
Happy New Year to you and the Family
Same to you! I hope you had a wonderful holiday!
Great job to your wife!!!
Thanks! I'll be sure to pass on your compliment :-)
I would love to know what pattern she used for the jackets. I have been sewing for years and Grace is doing a great job. She really has an eye for details. Everything is sew cute! 😊
The green one is the Sofia Blazer with the pine gap jacket variation. The white one is called the Snow Club Jacket. Both are from Liberty Jane.
Tell Grace that she did an amazing job and to never worry that her clothing isn't as nice as store-bought. I've gotten some really questionable items from AG this last year. Very poor cutting and pattern alignment. Had they not been on sale I would have returned them and one (Molly's school jumper) I will probably never use. Tell Grace that the original Pleasant company patterns are very good and turn out nicely, if she's interested in trying some historical items.
These are so cute! I love contemporary clothing on dolls. Great job Grace!
Oh, no. Molly's school outfit was one of the few things we bought on sale recently and now you have me worried. Fingers crossed we get one that's made as well as the clothing Grace sewed :-)
Thanks, Pamela! I'm passing along your compliment to Grace :-)
Lovely video.
Thanks so much!
Thanks for sharing Wow awesome my favorite white and coat beauty
You're welcome, and I agree - the white coat is gorgeous!
If Grace opens an Etsy shop I'd purchase from her
I totally agree. I would buy from her.
Aw thanks! I'll be sure to let her know :-)
Grace did a great job.
Thanks - she really did!
Holy cow! How long has she been doing this? These are amazing and it makes me want to learn myself!
She got her sewing machine at the beginning of 2022 so sometime not too long after that.
Love that white jacket
Me too. She KILLED it!
@@agtakesover you should do a 1 items,10 looks with that jacket
This is a wonderful video, it goes beyond the clothes, Kristie!
What great pieces of clothing 🤩🤩
No pressure for Grace but if she decides to create the Etsy store it would be a success
