9 Crafts For Your 18″ American Girl Dolls

January 30, 2015 by Larissa Coleman

If you have a little girl in your home, you have probably heard of the popularity of the 18″ American Girl Dolls.  There are so many to choose from that you can have them look almost exactly like your own little one, and have matching clothes as well.

Each of these 18inch dolls or American girls can also come with its own wardrobe, accessories, and furniture.  All of this can add up to be quite expensive when purchasing it from the retail store, but if you channel your inner crafter, you can make any of this (plus more) on your own and save a lot of money.

Here are just 9 ideas we found to get you started in making clothes for your American girl dolls.  Some of these patterns are perfect for kids to make clothing for their own dolls or for adults to help to make outfits for the dolls too. You can make holiday outfits and costumes too.

How to Sew an Easy Dress with Smocked Fabric – A Perfect Beginner-Friendly Project!

If you’re looking for a sewing project that’s both simple and stylish, the How to Sew an Easy Dress with Smocked Fabric tutorial from Sweet Red Poppy is a must-try. As someone who loves to sew, I’m always on the lookout for projects that combine ease and elegance, and this one does just that. The smocked fabric adds a unique, textured touch to your creations without the need for complicated techniques.

The tutorial walks you through each step, making it easy for even beginners to tackle this project with confidence. The smocked fabric is incredibly forgiving, which means you don’t have to worry too much about fitting – it stretches and hugs your body just right. Plus, the finished dress has a gorgeous, flowy look that’s perfect for any occasion.

What I love about this pattern is how customizable it is. You can adjust the length, add sleeves, or even make it into a top instead of a full dress. It’s perfect for anyone looking to create something fashionable and comfortable without spending hours at the sewing machine.

Overall, this project is a fantastic way to get creative with smocked fabric, and the end result is a chic, easy-to-wear dress. Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned pro, this pattern is sure to become a go-to in your sewing repertoire!
