The Bitty baby doll is 15 inches and the American Girl doll (like Stephres posted) is 18". I think you can buy patterns for both of these sizes.
Do note that with the patterns for the 18 in dolls, cut the arms a little bigger.
wow those are cute , i am inspired to applique some jeans now ..Here is what I was working on this week. These are Christmas presents for my neice. Now I need to make some for DD.
I love the making these jeans, but man, are they tedious!

Nightgowns. DD is right, they're too pretty to be jammies! I was able to make these with 2 yards of fabric (bought for .99 a yard on Black Friday :whoohoo: ). I used the scraps for Bitty's gown. Next time I'll get a little more so I can do a ruffle on the doll's nightgown.

wow i am exhausted just reading that .. wow how did lil girl dislocate her elbow? OUCHHHHHi everyone,
Sorry I have been absent the last few days and not commenting on all the cute stuff! Hosted a Christmas party this weekend, sewed up 5 pairs pajama pants for a friend, finished making my Christmas cards, DD2 had a dislocated elbowDH's work just said "oh, can you get on a plane to Orlando (from Salt Lake City) in 2 hours?" so he took off yesterday with no notice (and I'm soooo jealous he's going to Orlando, even though I'll be there soon!) and now I have a horrible chest cold and some fabric I ordered from
is MIA. The post office tracking system says they have it, but after waiting in line for a looooong time with a 2 year old and a 5 year old they say

"why don't you bring in the delivery attempt notice that the mail carrier NEVER LEFT, wait in line again, and we'll look again, even though I already looked everywhere." I just want to cry. But on the good side, my favorite quilting store happened to have 20% off everything today and I got some cute valentine's fabric and fabric for a cupcake skirt I want to make, never mind that they are waaayyyyy down on a loooong list of things I need to make. Okay, thanks for listening to the vent. I love everything you all have been up to, but for some reason I only saw the red x in Misty's pictures of Jayedyn and I need to see them!!!!! And thanks for reminding me of all the doll clothes on my "to do" list! DD2 is getting Bitty Baby for Christmas and DD10 is getting Julie. We love Kit, she has the best hair! They say they need their own hairbrush so that they don't get any oils from human hair in their hair.
Oooh another Bitty sewer!!!!! This is cute!. I have been working on a Grinch coat for one of DDs twins. WHERE did you get the pink Bitty shoes?

yes she picked it all out i did not think it would look as good as she wanted it too but it turned out cute...Wow, I missed this the first time around. I love it! Did Jayedyn pick out the lace for the sleeves too? That is awesome!
Hey everybody! I thought a couple of weeks ago that I would be back on on a regular basis but mother nature wasn't done with me. I'm feeling much better now, hopefully the worst of morning (or all day as it is with me) sickness is behind me. I won't go into the gory details but YUCK!
I just finished up 6 shepherd costumes for DD4's Christmas program. The teacher asked me last week if I could make them and I had to have them done by today for tomorrow's program. YIKES! Definitely not my best work but they are finished and that is all I can say. NO pictures will be posted, they really are bad!
I haven't even logged on lately. Hope everyone is doing well and enjoying the Christmas season. I know there is no catching up for me now!
All of these doll outfits has inspired me. Has anyone used the Sewboutique 4 Dolly "volumes"? Deciding if I "need " them or if I should go with some Simplicity patterns. I like that with the YCMT patterns they could match DD's outfits. Hmmmm.... does anyone have a YCMT coupon code? Just a FYI - I downloaded the Free patterns and they aren't full patterns, they are "companion" patterns that go with the other ones. One does have a cute Santa hat though.
I believe the Dolly patterns are attached to the big patterns. Or are you wanting something different? Just wondering what exactly you were looking for?
Just skimmed: That Happiest Place On Earth picture is perfect for a signature line, Camping Griswalds!!!! I think it's the funniest thing, only because I collect pictures of Norah's diva moments at Disney. I have a collage scrapbook page planned.
Wisher/Dreamer-I love that snowflake bag! Holy cow!!! I've been wanting to make church bags for my kids to keep coloring books etc. in to keep them happy during church. You've inspired me!!!!
TSNCS- OH MY GOODNESS! that is a cute dress! Is the bodice blue velvet? Very pretty!
Stephres- uh ohhhhh! My dd is receiving a similar dolly for Xmas. So you're saying I'm going to have to make twinner outfits too? SWEET! I did stock up on doll patterns when they were 99 cents. This will be fun!
I went ahead and got Sew boutique 4 Dolly Volume 1. There are some patterns for girls that include a doll pattern, but there are also some with just 4 -5 doll patterns in each ebook.
HELP!!!! I'm on the "vacation" from
well, you know where.
UGH!! I'm in Arizona in a little house full of 12 in-laws (including us) and 5 dogs, none of which are particularly housebroken. I'm sicker than a dog, with it coming out both ends (TMI, I know). Tessa, Henry, and Sawyer were all sick every other day we've been here. I've been covered in someone else's bodily fluids at least 2x a day.
Now, I love my in-laws, I truly do. But, I just want to be at home!!!! I miss you all and I can't wait until I can get back to chatting with you. Don't forget me!!!!
