American Girl Doll Knitted Halter Top

I just finished making the "Sunshine Halter" knitted halter top pattern sold by Liberty Jane patterns and designed by 123 Mulberry Street. It was so easy and quick to knit up.  And, it fits the American Girl doll or any 18" doll perfectly!  I changed the pattern slightly by making an I-cord to tie around the neck instead of the braid that was called for.  I picked up this cute yarn at my local Goodwill in a huge bag for only $3.93 for 15 skeins!

Now, I'm off to make another one.............

SKINNY JEANS for SAIGE

Saige, the 2013 American Girl Doll of the year, is modeling a new pair of "Skinny Jeans" that I made out of stretchy jean material.  They fit her perfectly, have double stitching around the pockets and legs and have 4 working pockets just like real jeans!  The elastic in the waistline help little hands pull the jeans up and on.  Now, off to make a cute little top for Saige.

A NEW AG DRESS

My latest American Girl Doll dress is a donation that I am making to our local library.  The library has an Addy doll that they plan to let patrons check out just like a book.  They needed some clothes to go along with Addy on her travels so I made one from some of my stashed fabric.  When she is "checked out" a little Journal will travel with her so the children can write down their adventures with Addy.  I love that idea and am so glad to be able to participate.  Enjoy the photos.......the sewing machine belonged to my grandmother's mother.

The pattern is the 1850's dress pattern from Keepers Dolly Duds.

The back buttons and is tied with a little sash.  (Which is a big pain to turn inside out!!!)

Just finished the bodice......

Finished dress on my new doll dress form.
