American Girl Sewing Patterns

Sewing for dolls can be easy and fun!  With American Girl Sewing Patterns you can take scraps of fabric and turn them into a customized outfit for your little girl’s favorite doll.  The American Girl Sewing Patterns will work with other 18 inch dolls including My Generation (which is sold at Target).  Many of these sewing patterns are for beginners and are a perfect way to add some Mother-Daughter bonding time.

My mother-in-law sews the most adorable outfits for our dolls, but I have yet to try.  Part of my hesitation is spending lots of money on a pattern.  With these free patterns I think we will be sewing this weekend!  We will start with the Drawstring Dress and work our way up to the Twirly Doll skirt.

Make your doll’s outfit complete and your favorite little girls happy with these shoes, boots, or other accessories!
