   It is very cool. I remember the Gene doll, because Vogue did patterns for her. I believe she is bigger than a Barbie.

   She is larger, very collectable and I think easier to dress and sew for.  Can you imagine being able to increase these patterns 400% to make for ourselves?  Wow, intrigueing thought!  Mary

   For real? I didn't see that. I remember the doll was pretty expensive, or I would have bought one. She was always so glamorous.

   I just read it. I didn't know we have a celebrity in our midst, besides Amber. Awesome.

   Yes, Don McCunn is a published author too!  He also has online classes and two Yahoo groups.  In case I forgot to put this in earlier:    http://patterns-for-fashion-dolls.deofsf.com/  

   I had some computer problems so if I already posted this, sorry for the repeat.  Mary

   Oh, guess I did already post that, sorry.  His book is "How to Make Sewing Patterns"

   He is a very talented gentleman, yes?  I look forward to learning from his posts too!
