Great book, simple instructions December 19, 2008
A. P. Garrett (Glastonbury, CT United States)
Given how expensive American Girl clothes can be, this book offers a way to make your own clothes at a fraction of the price of buying them. It is a nice collection with a variety of clothes to make a complete wardrobe. A bit of experience in sewing is definitely helpful though. Most patterns are a bit complex for a child to do alone, but anyone with some sewing background would find them quite straight forward. Full size patterns are included for all the clothes. Definitely recommend this book.

Found this to have excellent sewing instrucions with illustrations. Very versatile pieces that can be interchanged. Accessories easy and add to the wardrobe.
 Great for Ideas July 18, 2008
Grandmom (Frankfort, KY)
This book was great for ideas and general instructions. However, I found the patterns to be way too large for the 18" dolls, and I found several errors in the construction directions. As a seasoned sewist, I knew how to work around this misdirection, but newer sewists may not.
I can still recommend the book though just for the inspiration.

My daughter (who is 10 years old) got her American Girl doll for Christmas this year...and after spending all that money on an 18" doll, I wasn't about to pay $24 per outfit.
I have some sewing experience. I can hem up jeans, sew pillows, fix a seam or button if need be...but that's about it. I've never used a pattern before.
The hardest part was finding the pattern pieces. There are two large tissue papers tucked away in the back of the book. Each piece appears to have hundreds of little patterns. Once you find the pieces for what you are making, it is a breeze.
I will warn you, there are some things that just can't be sewn with a machine. Invest in a thimble and proceed.
Half the fun is teaching my daughter how to sew. She loves her doll and wants it to have a wardrobe exactly like hers. I warned her that the deal was if she got the doll, she would have to help make the clothes. She agreed and we've been able to sew many outfits that closely resemble hers.
This book, in my opinion, contains the most modern clothing patterns. It also has very easy to follow instructions. I would recommend this book to anyone who has an American Girl doll.
