Sewing for dolls

I have been busy sewing but not all of it is for my girls. I have ventured into the world of American Girl doll clothes. I have to say that it is very different than sewing for a large child. The seams are so much smaller! I thought I would show everyone what I have been sewing.

My niece has an American Girl doll so I decided to sew 12 outfits for her for Christmas. I wanted to do one per month.
The first one is for the month of January. Since it is typically cold I decided to sew a coat and a hat. I used a fleece vest I had that had a stain. The butterfly applique was cut off of an old dress of Kaylee's that she had outgrown.

Here is the pattern I used.

For February I made a pair of pants with a black top.

Here is the pattern I used for the shirt. (The first picture)

Here is the pattern I used for the pants.

For March I made a dress. In this picture the dress was a little long. I did try to hem it up a bit.

Here is the pattern I used. This pattern was slightly disappointing and didn't fit very well.

For April I made this dress. You may remember the fabric from the girl's birthday skirts.

Here is the pattern I used. I tried making the hat but that was a complete bust! It ended up in the trash!

Here is May's dress. The fabric was left over from the girl's Disney shirts. The black shirt is the same one I made for February's outfit.

 Here is the pattern I used. I used the blue dress. This was my favorite pattern.

Here is June's dress. I used the fabric from the girl's Disney shirts.

 Here is the pattern I used.

Here is July's outfit. You may recognize the material. I used it for the girl's 4th of July outfits. I loved how this turned out.

Here is the pattern I used.

Here is August's outfit. Since it is baseball season I wanted to make an outfit that would work for a Cardinal game. The fabric came from a baseball dress I made the girls.

Here is the pattern.

Here is September's outfit. 

Here is the pattern I used. I used the dress in the top left corner. I also used this for the red turtleneck.

Here is October's outfit. I used some material that came from the girls Halloween dresses.

Here is the pattern I used. I wasn't a fan of this pattern and struggled with both the top and the pants.

Here is the outfit for November. The fabric is from the girl's Thanksgiving dresses.

Here is the pattern. I used the dress in the top left corner.

Here is December's outfit. I used material from the girl's Christmas skirts. The shirt is the same as above. It is a pleated skirt.

Here is the pattern. I used the yellow and blue outfit.

So there you have a breakdown of all the outfits I made. I hate throwing away fabric and have been keeping most of my larger left over pieces for just this. Now I can start working my way through my stash. I have to say the whole time I was sewing these outfits, the girls were super excited. I told them after Christmas I would sew them outfits too.
