about jmB designs

I’m a happily married semi-retired Bookkeeper, living in Ohio. I have one daughter, four step-children and four grandsons.

I have always loved to do arts & crafts and I get my creativity from my Mother-she loved to sew and made the most amazing things—clothes, dolls, bears, her whole life.  I didn’t start making doll dresses until about 10 years ago, when in a fit of nostalgia I bought some used Dawn dolls on Ebay--I had played with them when I was a kid and thought it would be neat to have a few. But I wasn’t a fan of the outfits they came with (they were made in the early 1970’s) so I came up with dress patterns of my own and listed some on Ebay to sell.

Pretty soon they took off and over the years I kept adding new doll lines: Barbie, Gene, Stacie, Kelly, Monster High/Bratz.  A few years ago I decided to try my hand at making bead necklaces and found that I loved that as well, so I’ve added in bracelets, earrings and brooches too.
