As my grand daughter says, ‘This pattern rocks!’ We love this site.

I just made this adorable outfit for my neice’s doll. (I learned that making doll clothes is harder than I thought.) But it turned out great and she loved it.
Great pattern….And thanks for the doll money. I’m looking forward to trying new patterns soon.

Thanks for the money! I haven ‘t made the Hobo Purse yet, but will. I am just getting into the American Girl stuff for my granddaughter. Right now I am knitting a sweater. Please let me know when you get more cool things. I am also interested in the long hoodie when it comes out. I am so happy I found your site! It is great.

Love your ideas! Would like to know if you have any idea how to make the Cheerleader Pom Pom’s? Can’t wait for the long hoodie! Keep your wonderful work coming…..
Thanks!

Diann,
I haven’t made any. But, if I wanted to make pom pons, I would go look at the (full-sized) ones real girls use and try to copy those. You’ll need some kind of band around the dolls hands to hold them on.

Great patterns. I sew, crochet and knit for my granddaughter and 3 nieces. Thanks

I just signed up here yesterday and am really looking forward to making some great outfits for Australian Girl dolls. They are slightly taller and slimmer than American Girl dolls but it shouldn’t be difficult to alter the patterns.

I am nether a knitter or crocheter, but would like to make some sweaters… Any way to “cheat” and make one?
August 21st, 2010 at 11:48 pm
Ally,
You can purchase knit fabric on the bolt that looks like “sweater” material. Read my earlier post, How to Sew on Knit Fabrics. It explains how to make a sweater without having to know how to knit or crochet. Also, the long hoodie pattern, shown in the post will be available soon.

What are the shoes made of? My sister and I would love to make the shoes, as we don’t have any for our Madame Alexander dolls.
Thank you in advance!

These shoes are made from craft foam and t-shirt fabric.
September 5th, 2010 at 6:00 pm
Thank you!
I just found this site a couple days ago!

Can the shoes be made of anything other than T-shirt knit?
November 17th, 2010 at 2:10 pm
Susan, yes. You can experiment with different fabrics and decide what you like best. However, something with a little stretch will be much more forgiving and easier to sew than a rigid fabric. Felt is great for shoes because you can steam and shape it.

This pattern is fantastic, instructions are comprehensive, easy to follow, and easy to make. A “sew flat” pattern. Fits like a charm. Wonderful.

These are really cute outfits.

My granddaughters loved the hobo bag and money. It was easy and fast to make. My computer crashed and I lost my play money.
April 4th, 2011 at 12:11 pm
Vonda,
I’m sending you the money in an email.

I am going to be the leader of an “American Girl Club” at my daughter’s school and want to let the girls make an outfit over a ten week period of time, along with some other crafts. Would something like this be suitable for them to start out with? I plan for them to be able to cut the fabric and help with any embellishments and I will sew everything together. I had also looked at the party dress since there were several accessories. Any thoughts?

Jennifer,
I think this pattern is your best choice for young sewers. There are no gathers. It’s great made out of recycled t-shirts. They could even tie-dye or use fabric paint on the t-shirt fabric before they cut it out. If you want to simplify the handbag, you could use an elastic casing instead of inserting the grommets.

Hi, I love this outfit. I have a question. Maybe it is on the pattern and I missed it. What size eyelets did you use for the handbag? This is a great site. I was happy to find the material from a suggestion on your blog. Does anyone sew these clothes for themselves and not for children? Or am I the only one? hehehehehe
December 6th, 2011 at 4:30 pm
Denise,
Yes, lots of ‘adult’ girls collect and sew for dolls.
I used 1/8 inch eyelets for the handbag mentioned above.

This is such a great outfit. I love the striped scheme you have in the picture and every element is very detailed. Job well done.
