Working on my Retro Dress Sewing Pattern For American Girl Dolls

American Girl Dolls in my new Retro Dress Design

My New Retro Dress Sewing Pattern for American Girl Dolls:

This is the latest sewing pattern I am working right now, I always like retro styles especially the 60s and 70s styles.  When I look at my girls Emily Bennett and Kit Kittredge, I know they would look stunning with the Retro Dresses.  That's why I wanted to design retro dress.  And I am RIGHT, they both look beautiful in the dresses.

 I had this Hello Kitty Fabrics for years, I am so glad that I finally found something to sew with.  This Hello Kitty fabrics are so cute, it makes a cute Retro Dress.  BTW, I think Emily looks like a "Sales Representative" for my White 534 Serger.  lol

This version is a little different than the Hello Kitty dress, I didn't add the buttons on the front.  Because I think it looks better without it.  I got this cute fabrics at JoAnn.  I like the 70s retro feel of the fabric, it is perfect for this sewing pattern

The Retro Dress Doll Pattern is almost ready...

Sailor Moon + American Girl Doll = Super Cute!!

Did you watch Sailor Moon when you were kids?  If you did, you would love my handmade sailor moon outfits for Emily and Kit. Originally, I just wanted to make them a sailor dresses, because I think it would look cute on them.  I didn't think about Sailor Moon at all.  But when I posted the pics of them wearing the sailor dresses, everyone said "Sailor Moon".

I made Kit's dress first, I think her bow is way too big.  So when I made Emily's dress, I made the bow smaller and I modified a bit.  I really like how it turned out.  They both look super cute in the Sailor Moon Outfit.

I really enjoy sewing doll clothes, it is fun!  And it takes a lot less time to finish the projects, not like sewing for kids and adults.  Plus, I can use all my scrap fabrics.  Like these sailor moon outfit, I use less than 1/4 yard (each color) for 1 dress. 

Who wore it best?  Let's vote!
