Shopping With Grama

       Shopping With Grama reminds me of growing up in a time of hot pink and turquoise, polka dots and pearl necklaces, and going shopping with my Grama on a Friday morning. Malls were unheard of, and you always looked your best to go Uptown. I vividly remember full-skirted dresses with scratchy crinoline underneath to make them "pouffy," and saddle shoes (which I hated!) Grama dressed carefully, "putting on her face," doing her nails, and topping it all off with a smart hat. We caught the bus at the corner, started at the City Building to pay bills, then worked our way down the street, stopping in at all sorts of stores on the way. The outing always ended with Coke and donuts at Corner Kresgee's -- the one with the donut machine in the window so that you could watch your snack being made.

       This pattern set is sized for 18" stuffed bodied dolls such as American Girls™, Götz, Springfield, Battat, Mme. Alexander "Ashley," etc. (Our model is a Götz Precious Days Julia). Worked in size 10 crochet cotton, the set includes patterns to crochet the dress, crinoline half-slip, and matching pocketbook. Instructions are also included for making the Pearl Necklace on crochet cotton, with a tie back!

       The Shopping With Grama pattern set has not been previously published, and is available exclusively from this website.

       6% sales tax will be added to all orders for Michigan residents, but you can save printing, shipping and handling costs by ordering the PDF version of the pattern! It will be emailed to you immediately, and you may print it yourself at your leisure.
