Today I have another fun outfit to share with you for American Girl Doll or any 18" doll.

I made her little dress using the FREE tee pattern from last week
Same pattern but this time I used the short sleeves option and instead of the band on the bottom of the tee I added a full skirt
Easy peasy modification for a whole new look
And then dolly's feet seemed a bit cold so I whipped up some little boots

 Free pattern is below. Just open it in a new window and print so it fills the whole page. Oh and the boot portion should be "cut 2 in 2 different fabrics"
1. With right sides together sew the boot pieces together along the front and back seams.
Ignore that my pieces are different sizes...
2. With right sides together slide the boots over each and sew together around the upper edge
3. Turn the upper boot right side out, sew to the sole and you're finished!
These work best with material with some stretch so you can get them on and off. I haven't tried but you could probably do a single layer in felt. It's sturdy enough that you could skip the lining

Happy Sewing :)
Amy

    1. I don't have a build-a-bear so it's hard to say. You'd have to just hold the sole up to the bear's foot and see if it's about the right size remember to leave room for seam allowances
