AMERICAN GIRL DOLL CLOTHES - 5 new dresses

New American Girl dresses, made with love, that will soon be added to my etsy shop, It's A Doll's World.  These are all handmade using 100% cotton in a smoke-free pet-free house.  These little dresses are filled with detail and I have finished all of the seams.  They would be fun for a little girl because they have large snaps or buttons closing the backs of the dresses.  The quality would also make them attractive to collectors.  Hope you like them...

1850's American Girl's Dress

An 1850's dress made for American Girl dolls (18" dolls) from the Keepers Dolly Duds pattern.  I bought my fabric from Sew Main Street in Woodstock, Georgia.  I love sewing with these patterns because they are so well designed and fit the dolls perfectly.  All of the seams are finished and facing are whip stitched.  The back of the dress buttons for easy dressing by little hands.  I added the gathered fabric in the center panel.  I will be adding this one to my etsy page for sale.  Enjoy!

American Girl Doll Clothes

I love color, mixing patterns, instant gratification and sewing.  And.......my newest love is sewing from the Keepers Dolly Duds American Girl doll patterns.  These patterns are so well designed.  They are a pleasure to sew and fit perfectly!  The designer researched and designed her patterns with the greatest details.  But......since I love color I'm putting a little different spin on them.  I'm using lots of patterns and colors from my stash of fabrics.  (Please disregard the craft supplies in the background).

All of the patterns are finished on the inside.  The bodices are lined and hand stitched to cover the rough edges.  Lovely!  The patterns remind me of the smocking Children's Corner patterns I used to make for my daughter.

Here is one more example of the 1850's dress with pinafore.  I plan to sell these dresses in an ETSY store.  I'll post as soon as the store is ready.  Thanks for looking.
