Making Furniture for American Girl Dolls
This is a guide about making furniture for American Girl dolls. American Girl dolls are an expensive investment so it's not surprising that the furniture for them isn't cheap either. You can save quite a bit of money by making their furniture yourself.
Craft Project: Dapper Dad Doll
Mirror, mirror, on the wall...You're the best dad of them all! Show your dad how special he is by creating a mirror image of him and capturing his personality in a doll. A simple pattern plus 10 easy steps, make this a project you will enjoy creating every stitch of the way.
Pattern for Ivory Soap Bottle Mr and Mrs Claus
I have been looking for a pattern for Mr. and Mrs. Santa Claus on Ivory dish soap bottles and cannot find it. Do you know where I can find this pattern? They have Styrofoam heads and plastic hands, but the bodies are the Ivory soap bottle. Help.
Craft Project: Denim Dinosaurs
Stuffed denim shelf dinosaurs for room accents.
I am looking for patterns to make dolls out of pantyhose.
Craft Project: Old-Fashioned Girl Doll
This doll was made using some bits and pieces of lumber from my husband's cabinet shop. I just couldn't bear to see that nice wood go into the trash barrels.
This is BEBE Bunny, one of my primitive pattern designs. She is made of all recycled materials. I love to design and I especially love to use vintage fabrics.
American Girl Doll Dress from Blouse Cuffs
I make very simple dresses for American Girl Dolls by reusing the elastic cuffs from blouses I don't wear any more. By hemming them at around 9 or so inches, all you have to do is add simple straps and you have a pull on summer dress.

This is Elsy she is made from Red Heel Socks, the kind used for sock monkeys. I used one sock for her body and sewed it into a fish shape. Then I cut her arms and mouth from the other sock. Hand stitch the fins. Her hair is that twisty yarn used for scarves.
Craft Project: All-American Desk Sitter Kids
My daughter Julie is volunteering this summer, teaching English to under privileged kids in Egypt. She was looking for craft ideas, so I came up with these kids to sit on their desks.
Craft Project: Doll Plastic Bag Holder
Take an old doll and recycle into a cute plastic bag holder. To the doll dress hem, add enough material to make the length from the shoulder of the doll to the new hem twenty-seven inches long. (I do not remove the doll legs.)
