Time to take a break from designing and sewing Doll Clothes Patterns.

Gosh, I love Easter (and not just because I love chocolate!).  It is so much fun making up clues and hiding Easter Eggs in and around the house and garden and then watching by two children excitedly following the clues to find them.  Instead of just hiding the eggs in random spots and having the kids run around looking for them, we make up clues like a treasure hunt.  When they get a clue right, they find a small egg and this goes on for about 10 clues until finally they finally find their major treasure….a large chocolate bunny.  I love this idea as it takes them longer to find the eggs and the fun lasts longer.

This year, Alyssa decided to hide some eggs for her American Girl doll, Jessica, to find.  She figured that Jessica would enjoy an Easter Egg hunt just as much as she does.  Here are some of the photos that I took of the two girls enjoying their own special Easter Egg Hunt.  I hope you enjoy!

This week I’m thrilled to be releasing doll clothes patterns for a summer dressing gown or robe.  You can make it up using cotton, satin or towelling, use a contrasting trim or a self trim, the choice is yours depending on the look you want.  You may even like to make it with colourful towelling and use it as a beach cover up.  Why not do all three, make two different dressing gowns and a beach cover up!

Choose between the American Girl doll clothes patterns size (this pattern will fit other similar 18 inch dolls) or the 18 ½ inch Cabbage Patch Kids doll clothes patterns size.  It is perfect for your doll to pop on over her summer nightie and is great for those lazy pyjamas days.

All my doll clothes patterns are downloadable and come with full video instructional support where I show you step-by-step how to make the outfit, so there’s no way you can go wrong.  The video streams to your computer so you don’t need to download nay large files and you can log into any computer to access the videos and doll clothes patterns.  If your new to sewing or are an experienced sewer and would like to learn some new techniques don’t forget to check out my How to Make Doll Clothes Video Course.

Exciting news for all those who own a gorgeous Australian Girl doll, my American Girl doll clothes patterns will fit your Australian Girl doll beautifully too!

Yes, the Australian Girl dolls are a little taller and the main differences between the two dolls are that the Australian Girl doll has a slightly longer torso, slightly bigger head, the legs and arms are thicker and longer and her feet larger in both length and width.

Being an Aussie, I wanted to make sure all my 18 inch and American Girl doll clothes patterns fit our Aussie dolls too because I don’t want them to miss out.   So where necessary, I have added alternative cutting lines to my American Girl doll clothes patterns and if there are no alternative cutting lines marked, you can be assured that the pattern will fit these doll without any alteration.

If you want to check out the actual differences in their measurements, you will find their individual measurements on my Doll Sizing page.

So what are you waiting for….take your Australian Girl doll shopping for doll clothes patterns now and she will have a new wardrobe in no time at all!
