I love making doll clothes. I used to make them for the Cabbage Patch when my daughter was younger. Has anyone made any for the Baby Bitty? I got a couple of patterns at Hobby Lobby the other day when they were 99cents and am eager to get started.
Also have to add - my granddaughter who just turned 7, logged on to the AG website the other day when she was here and found out how to fix Caroline's hair. It was a fuzzy mess but 2 hours later she looked like new! We were both so excited.
Now to get to work on the clothes. I'm anxious to see all the things you all have made.

Here is a site that lists other free AG doll patterns.
http://www.diaryofasahm.com/2011/01/...ican-girl.html

Correction: not all patterns are free but many are free.

When I retired I started making doll clothes for my GD. I was a caregiver for my husband, and I think it saved my sanity.[ATTACH=CONFIG]425928[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]425929[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]425930[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]425931[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]425932[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]425933[/ATTACH]
