Better get the sewing machine humming!! Working 2nd shift now has put a little cramp in my daily routine.
Watch for sales at Joann's when the patterns are $1 - $1.99 each. Both Simplicity and McCall's go on sale regularly.
Measure the doll against the patterns. I bought a Springfield 18" doll and found its measurements were different(smaller) than the AG doll my granddaughter had. The clothes fit the AG doll but snuggly. I found a chart for doll measurements here
http://www.knitting-and.com/knitting...doll-sizes.htm. Very handy.
The Springfield 18" doll(sold at AC Moore & Joann's) is not on the chart. I had to measure and write it's measurements to compare with others on the chart. I like having the Springfield doll as a model and I did'nt have to pay a lot like with the AG doll.
