Well, we just got through another hour of browsing Etsy for new goodies.

Some nice stuff in there.

But honestly, there is a lot we just wouldn't buy.

Only if someone was holding a gun to our head.

That reminded us that we haven't done a Trends to Sew in awhile because we have been so busy.

So we are going to schedule a slew of Trends to Sews for you right now.

What is Trends to Sew?

It is Maple's way of telling you what kind of clothing we would buy if someone made it in doll-size.

And we like the realistic, trendy clothing many other AG fans out there love.

So listen to us.

We is smarttie.

Today's New Arrival

Embroidered Tribal Print Skinny Jeans

Definitely an offering that we have not seen made by any handmade seller yet

If you've seen it done -- let us know.

If you try it yourself -- let us know!

These are from Forever21 for $27.80.

Liberty Jane Patterns offers a skinny jeans/pants pattern.

Now available for easy purchasing from Etsy...

If you are buying the pants fabric pre-embroidered --

make sure the scale is small for the dolls.

If you are embroidering the pants yourself --

make sure the design scale is small for the dolls.

And remember -- the best place to find realistic fabric for your doll clothing projects is

the human clothing sales racks, peoples.

Buy the largest size available and slice that stuff up. :-)
