American Girl and 18 Inch Crochet and Sewing Doll Pattern Links




American Girl Dolls and their 18" counterparts are popular with children and adults. Many enjoy making the clothing to share with avid collectors. Finding free and inexpensive resources for the patterns can help increase the selection without breaking the budget.

Many of these blog pages started small and quickly expanded as I found more patterns. The American Girl/18" Doll Page has experienced the same growth and requires additional space. Check out the new American Girl 18" Doll Knitting Page to find free knitting patterns.

  2. Thank you for your comment. I know my family loves having access to the patterns, I thought others would, too.

  3. Looking for PLASTIC CANVAS patterns for 18" doll accessories (purses, hats, furniture, etc.) Only found 1998 Carole Rodgers pamphlet. Everything else is Barbie size. Help!

  4. Hello,
    This is a wonderful site. Thanks for sharing!
    I am hoping that you can help me to locate a pattern for the cloak you have pictured above. I think it is called Felicity's cardinal cloak. I would appreciate any help/suggestions that you might be able to give me.
    Sincerely,
    Gloria

  5. I posted your comment in case anyone else can help. I am using more of my own photographs as I make more items. However, when I started I used more flikr photographs as you can see from the picture credits.

    Hopefully one of the other readers can help. You may also want to try some of the Yahoo AG groups. They have been a great resource when I have wanted to find something.

  6. I was on the AG actual site which I rarely visit. I believe these photographs are of the original Felicity outfits. There were patterns for the AG sewing outfits from the Pleasant Company that I have listed under Sewing. These do not include the pictures listed above which look to be the original outfits. Again others may be able to give specific patterns that are available to make these outfits.

  8. Hello

    I looked carefully through all the links on this page, and I can't find the pattern for the beautiful sparkly navy dress with the white trim. Do you know where I can find it?

    Thanks for your help,
    Nadine

  9. I don't know anything about a blue/navy sparkly dress posted on this page. The green one is posted on the Christmas Page under American Girl Doll Patterns.

  10. Looking at the old comment I just thought I'd mention Annie's Attic is offering Plastic Canvas shoes, purses, and hats for the 18" dolls. The patterns are not free and some are only available as downloads. I bought some for Plastic Canvas crafters in the family this year as presents. It was the first time I had seen plastic canvas for the 18" dolls.

  11. Thank you for helping me find the pattern. I never went to the Christmas page. Sorry for saying the dress was navy. It looks that way on my screen. Thanks again for your help,
    Nadine

    It's a pattern for a wooden wardrobe for American girl dolls. It's big enough to hold accessories as well and can be used as a nightstand. The site also has quite a few other patterns for 18" dolls, including bunkbeds and other beds, a picnic table and an Adirondack style chair- just type doll in the search bar. Also, lots of people post pictures of projects they made with their own little tweaks to make them even more interesting.
    I would also like to note that this is a site by a mom for other moms so the patterns are made to be easier for someone to do in their spare time without having to know woodworking or have a degree in carpentry but still look like something you could buy at a store.
