What wonderful clothes for the doll! Great memories are made when you work together on them.
I started buying doll clothes patterns when my oldest grand daughter was born. I'd made doll clothes for my own two daughters when they were small. Mostly baby doll clothes, and then a few Barbie. They are really small. I designed and made some for the Sunshine Family my youngest daughter had. Does anyone remember them? The parents were about 9 inches tall.
I now have three GDs, a 5 yr old and twins 3. Daughter wanted sleeping bags for the girls' baby dolls for Christmas. I used the AM girl/18" patterns that I've gotten at Joann's when they had them on sale for $1-2.00. The sleeping bags turned out great! I also made the tote bags from the same pattern.
At what age do most girls get the AG dolls? My GDs are a little young yet, I think.

Love the pattern--where did you get it? I belong to a doll cub in town and collect 18" dolls.

My DGDs are 4 (will be 5 next month) and 7. My 4yo was ready for a year...that's all she's talked about. She didn't want to wait for Santa or her birthday but Mommy told her she had to!

What is the pattern # for the sleeping bags?...both my GDs would love those!!

there are now sooo many makers of 18" dolls and you can match almost any ethnic mix in a child. jo-ann's has their dolls for 19.99. toys-r-us has journey girls, target has next generation, i think wal-mart has madame alexander, or switch that with target, fancy nancy is 18" and can wear the same clothes, and there are other off brands. i have only found one boy, but he is part of my collection and i have as many of his clothes as i could afford at the time. he was from the collection at target yrs ago! my daughter had molly. i stayed up late at night before the holidays making her outfits from the real patterns and trying them on her. (you know who was having fun playing with the doll!) after all, i had to be sure they fit! i loved the doll much more than my daughter did. lol. so when she outgrew it there was no question, it was to be handed up to me. i think i have 10 unopened patterns for new clothes for her and i have probably 10 playmates and so many outfits, no telling how many! aush kavoy! too much lololol! my daughter in law better have more than one little chickadee! or she is going to feel totally overwhelmed with dolls when i pass! whatdaya bet she'll be a tomboy? rotflmbo!! maybe some school will want the dolls as a lesson in diversity, i have at least one of everybody! 8-)

Wow! great job! Yes, I am going to have to do some of these too. One of my grand daughters got a American Doll for Christmas and I told her I would make her some doll clothes for it. This is inspiring!
