Free American Girl Doll clothes patterns!

I've been sewing clothes for my girls' American Girl Dolls & while most of them have been other people's patterns, I have made a couple original items.  These have worked out well for me, I hope you have similar success!

Blouse (Yoga top for my girls' AG dolls)

Picture
If you are reading this, I have made this top (obviously, there is a picture next to this text), but I haven't had a chance to digitize my pattern.


The only free patterns I could find for shirts were knits (and I hate working with  knits!), so I came up with this.  It is loosely based on this, but:
    a) the proportions are different on an AG doll than the doll she used 
    b) I think her dolls had all-plastic bodies (the cloth AG body needed a looser fit)
    c) while hers is all one piece, mine is 4 pieces (so I could upcycle dress shirts for fabric)

It's moderately challenging for a novice, but if you take your time (and have enough fabric to make two - just in case!), you should be able to pull it off.   One long-sleeve men's size large dress shirt should have enough material for 4 blouses (or 4 attempts :) ) if it has a pocket, 5 if no pocket.  Possibly more, pieces cut out creatively.


Nightgowns

If you are reading this, the nightgowns are still in the planning stage & neither they, nor the patterns have been made yet.  They are a Christmas present, so it can't be long now.  

Stay tuned!


Sleep Masks

Picture
If you are reading this, I have not yet tested this pattern in cloth (I have tested cutouts of paper, but I made it over the weekend & my sewing machine is at the office - I also need to buy fabric for it).  

My oldest daughter (8) has slept with a sleep mask for years.  She already has a few (from Jet Blue Airlines, her grandparents take a lot of evening flights), but I thought she might like matching masks for her and her AG doll.
