American Girl basics

Happy New Year!  On New Year's Day, my family and I visited American Girl Place in Seattle - what a way to be inspired to make new clothes for my girls' dolls!  Right before we went, I discovered a pattern maker that makes patterns for cute, trendy outfits for the American Girl dolls, and has free patterns for basic things like t-shirts and tank tops.  I have been looking for a basic t-shirt pattern for many years!  I will first share the ribbed tank top and drawstring dress I made.  I discovered Liberty Jane Patterns while searching for ideas on how to make American Girl Kanani's pajamas from 2011.  Liberty Jane Patterns provided instructions on how to do it using their patterns.  I gave these free patterns a try to make sure I could make them, and that they fit as well as they did in the pattern maker's pictures.  I can and they did, so look back sometime this spring to see how the pajamas turned out!  My nursing classes start back up tomorrow, so I will be busy with that until Spring Break.
