At Virtual Doll Convention, we feel blessed every month to collaborate with Tamara Casey, owner of Designs by Jude. We noticed her work early on and finally asked her if she would be interested in collaborating by making us a pattern for our Christmas Pageant. Our pie in the sky dream was to have the Rockettes pattern for our Grace doll, and she DID NOT disappoint with “Santa Baby.”

Tamara’s knack for being able to re-create any look, or better yet, dream up her own looks from inspiration in her real life, is remarkable. If you have not taken a stroll through Tamara’s online boutique of sewing patterns, you are missing out. All you need to do is click the type of doll that you are interested in sewing for, and a plethora of patterns are available to easily download and print at home.

Tamara’s latest products and patterns are always on the homepage of her website, and we are DIGGING her newest creations - wig stands! You can purchase 6” resin stands and 4” stands for 16” to 18” dolls with an approximate wig circumference of 5 1/4 which is a size 5-6 (this works for most Tonner dolls!)

One of the hottest new patterns to come to Grace Marie Fitzpatrick fans (or any Robert Tonner doll with the RTB 101 Body) is “Weekender”. The pattern features a pair of fitted leggings, sleeveless cowl neck top and a sleeveless cowl neck dress. Items are perfect for a weekend getaway. Better yet, there are sewing tutorials for the cowl neck top and the leggings on the designs by Jude YouTube channel. These videos are the best!

Here are a couple of the latest videos from Tamara Casey. We know how much time and effort goes into filming, editing, and producing videos so we appreciate every single one. Make sure to subscribe and like the videos, it helps support her channel. We would love to see her reach a milestone of 1k subscribers soon!

‘Space Buns’ are trendy and fun hairstyles on modern dolls, so we had to share this awesome wig that we found ON SALE on Tamara’s Website - it comes in a couple of colors, too!

Tamara has it ‘going on’! You do not want to miss any of her upcoming projects, products, and updates. Be sure to follow her on Facebook for weekly inspiration. We can’t wait to see what she comes up with next!
