Hi, just amazing what you’re sewing!!
What is the size of the american doll (waist and neck(?)).
Are you planning to sew more outfits for this doll?
Thank you!
Hi Ursula,
Thank you for your message. Yes I plan on making more outfits for American Girl doll. I already have two other dresses and a long sleeve shirt. I will post them shortly.
The size of the doll is 18” (46cm) tall. Waist is 10 1/2” (27cm) and neck is 5 1/2” (14cm).
Happy sewing!

Happy sewing!
Miss B
ok thx
thank you for being so kind as to share. Just bought my my granddaughter her 1st American girl and she thinks she is getting a cabbage patch. I can’t wait for her to see it. I think I will be very busy making clothes.
I did a lot of American dolls clothes as well, they are much easier to sew than barbie doll clothes, but it requires more time, since the doll is bigger.
Thanks for coming by,
Happy sewing!
Miss B
Again, thank you for sharing. If you need a new idea, I have been looking for an easy dress for the American doll which is kind of like a prairie dress. Love your doll clothes!
Leave me a message if you’d like me to post a pattern of yours. You would have to take the step by step pictures and write the steps, just like I do it. I don’t have much time anymore to post anything.
But I am sure readers would be happy to see new sewing patterns.
Miss B
