Another Batch of American Girl Doll Clothes
 
4 Attachment(s)
We are flying out to WA State tomorrow and this is what my granddaughter "ordered" from our last visit. They are all made from the 30 minute doll clothes book I got from Sewing with Nancy. Hobby Lobby had Simplicity patterns on sale for $.99 yesterday so I got a few of those, but they are much more labor intensive. Maybe now I can get back to quilting!! The first one doesn't photograph right. The jacket is purple fabric with gold. Much darker in person. And I will move the button on the brown and blue top.

Really cute outfits! I will have to look for the 30 Minute Dollclothes. I also make some AG clothes for my DGD, but find that they are very labor intensive.

Those are precious! I watched that episode of "Sewing With Nancy" & was intrigued by the book. Looks like I'll have to get it now. Travel safe & have a great time with your kids!

Great Pic! I ordered the book after seeing what you have made...of course I haven't used it yet...but it's definitely on my list of "to do's". I have 5 granddaughters and I want to make them each several outfits for their dolls. I've bought a bunch of FQ's and just need to get started. Thanks for the inspiration!!!

Very nice! Those are addicting, I made 40 outfits for my DGD's American Girl Doll, then I had to make 40 hangers too. Then I found nice trunk to store the acessories in. I do love the clothes and they are fun to make. Your's are adorable!:thumbup:

Adorable! Will look for that pattern. Agree that Simplicity et al are labor intensive.

Cute! I loved making some AG clothes for my niece when she got her doll but haven't done that for a while--she's now 26 and graduated college last year!!

When I was doing AG doll clothes I used the patterns from
http://www.morrisseydolls.com/

Very easy to use and the price was right.

Your dresses are very well made and so cute.
I am in the process of making some for my granddaughter. Although she is too young, she currently plays with a doll that is 18". I have ordered the "Springfield" doll which is supposed to be the correct measurements for the patterns. Will post pictures when I get the doll.

Thanks everyone. I am trying to upload a picture of the doll in one of the dresses. The clothes look so much cuter on the doll! I was so surprised because I liked them when I made them, but what a difference on. Let's see if this works because I had to resize using an outside app.

Does anyone have a link for the Book to make these clothes? The 30 minute one?

Now that is what I can do on my down time at work on night shift. Cut out the patterns for different sewing projects and sew them at home. Of course a few wil get donated at work.
