Pleated Polka Dot Skirt With Ribbed Tank Top

A pleated polka dot skirt that I paired with a ribbed tank top, this outfit makes her look classy and chic. I want to start sewing more of this style, very feminine and clean...i think those are the kind of outfits that suit american girl dolls, best showcased by historical characters like Kitt and Rebecca. Those two girls are my favorites, I love their style of clothing,someday I hope to make one.
The ribbed tank top is just from an old shirt of mine and I made sure that it hugs her body when she wears it, that kind of fabric stretches. I just zigzag the neckline for additional details. For the skirt, I actually measured it very carefully so the pleated will be evenly distributed. There are a total of 9 pleats on the front, and I each folded it in 4 cm width, so the whole length of the front is 36 cm. For the back, each side has 3 pleats. The rose and the bow make this whole outfit adorable.

Real Skinny Jeans

Talking about skinny jeans, this one is the real thing. See how form-fitting it is, it actually flatters her legs. It even has a actual working front and back packet to make it authentic-looking. And speaking of authenticity, I use brown thread for this, just like the effect you can find in real jeans. Again, I did not buy fabric for this, I use the bottom part of an old jeans. I was surprised that my sewing machine works well with the jean fabric, there was no thread breaking or bobbin jamming involved.

The only downside to this skinny pants is that its a little difficult to put on, (yeah, just like in real life)....but then that's the price you have to pay for fashion.

Pink Skinny Jeans

This outfit actually makes her look taller. A pink skinny corduroy pants paired with white sweater over red-striped shirt, this is her everyday outfit. This is one of my favorites so far.

The top is from an old shirt so its actually recycled, I did not buy fabric for that. Its so easy to make because its just a tube top, the sweater I got from Michaels for $4 and the pink pants, I sew it myself. I find sewing pants really simple now, once you learn the basic, you can make a whole lot of variation with it. You can just adjust the seams or crotch to make it baggy, skinny, or straight cut. You can also shorten the length to turn it into shorts or capri.

American Girl Spring Collection Inspired

This outfit is inspired by the pink dress from the latest AG catalog I got from the mail. Its called flower garden dress; it has a wide neckline and a fully pleated skirt. The actual link to the dress can be found here. The clothes cost $28, and it comes with a headband, peep toe sandals and a charm for the necklace.

I can't make the exact version, so this purple dress here is my own interpretation. It only cost me less than $5 to make this whole outfit, I even sewed a matching bag to go with it. This time, that purple flats complete the whole outfit.

Floral Ruffled-Sleeve Dress

I had fun sewing this cute floral dress. Its a high-waist dress and the sleeves are ruffled. I complemented it with a red ribbon on the middle and hemline area.

The red purse she has is from the book, American Girl Doll crafts. Now, if only I can learn how to make shoes so she does not have to wear that lavender flats all the time. It does not even match...still, I love it.
