Free Sewing Tutorials American Girl Doll Sewing Pattern Blue Hawaii from Joanie Rose Sewing

Comes with a YouTube Video tutorial! I designed this Blue Hawaii doll pattern when I was a beginner myself, trying to focus on the basics of straight lines and lining, but without added complications of gathering and complicated bodices. This free sewing tutorial has a reversible design, giving you so many ways to wear. Plus, the tie is removable, so no gathering! You get both a tank and a tied crop. This pattern is perfect for the summer as a cute beach coverup.

American Girl Doll Josefina Moccasin Pattern

Comes with a YouTube Video tutorial! American Girl Josefina’s “Meet Outfit” shoes often fall apart. I decided to make this pattern when my first edition doll’s shoes fell apart. Making them myself, I was able to design much higher quality shoes that are more historically accurate in their construction. Plus, the shoes fit on either foot, so no dressing confusion!

“Historical Moccasins” is a beginner pattern with no sewing machine required, but can be used. The pieces come together logically, the hand sewing is simple, and there are no circular shoe folds that so often come out looking lumpy.
