Absolutly love the book. Instructions are easy to follow. Only instead of making a copy of each pattern pc. I pressed them on fusible web,then cut them up, putting each outfit in a seperate plastic bag. Also making extra pattern pcs. if it called for 4/6 pcs.

This review is from: Sew the Essential Wardrobe for 18-Inch Dolls (Paperback)

I am a novice seamstress and found some of these patterns a little challenging, yet I was able to complete others with no problem. I managed to make the doll bathrobe in about an hour and it looks professional! Just like an American Girl Doll store bought version! What I don't like about the book is that you have to have a variety of fabrics on hand to make the clothes. Most of which, are stretch knits which I don't stock pile. You also have to have access to doll zippers something that is hard to locate in my rural location. Other than that, there are many outfits to select from, which you can make out of scrap cottons. I don't regret buying it. Erin Pennington, Carmi, IL

5.0 out of 5 stars Just the best for today's 18" dolls, March 1, 2002

Every little girl who loves today's 18" dolls wants her doll to have clothes just like a real girl, and lots of them. This is the pattern book that can do it. There are clothes for every occasion---- and a school uniform ,warmup suit, ballet outfit ,just about everything a girl needs. It's a bargin ,too ,when you consider you would spend 2-3 times the price buying commercial patterns for all the styles included here. And the fit is a little better than most. I had checked this out from my local library and quickly decided I had to have my own .
