I don’t know if any of you have ever visited the AGPlaythings.com website? They have a great message board over there for American Girl Doll Collectors and although I admittedly have a limited amount of time, I love to browse the boards and see what is happening. I don’t know how I missed it – especially since it is one of our customers biggest requests – but right there on the site they have free American Doll Dress Patterns to download and print out right from the site. Don’t think these are tacky American Girl Doll Dress Patterns either. No sirree – these are the real deal. The actual retired American Girl Doll Dress Patterns straight from American Girl themselves.
I am having trouble opening the links for the free patterns. This is my first visit to the site.

Are there any free crochet and knitting patterns for the american girl?
January 31st, 2010 at 3:04 pm
Julie,
I had no problem opening the linkd but I had to download them first. THey were well worth it. There are pattern pieces that are full sized and all the directions to sew them. The first page of the download is a color shot of the dresses included. This is a great site!!!

How very exciting that you have linked up to our site at AGPlaythings!
I love the patterns and was so excited when we were able to include them for collectors and enthusiasts who wanted to sew for their dolls.
With the retirement of Samantha and Kirsten my girls needed new duds. I have only just gotten to the point where I am making the clothes from the patterns. If anyone needs help with the patterns please feel free to run into the HomeEc section of the forum and get some answers from fellow seamstresses.

Thanks for giving our customers a place to get help
We often get questions and calls and now we can refer them here 
February 25th, 2010 at 9:46 am
Hi Pamela – AGPlaythings says you can visit their forum to get support. I have heard from other customers that they are very helpful.
February 25th, 2010 at 9:47 am
Thank you!!!! If you click on the image of each girl’s pattern it will download a zipped file (blahblah.pdf.zip). You must unzip each pattern set before it will be in a useable format.
February 25th, 2010 at 12:16 pm
Thank you so much. Using the patterns to great results. Helps get thru this snowy winter. No problem down loading them.
February 27th, 2010 at 9:35 am
The free doll clothes patterns take a long time to download, and then must be unzipped. They’re very nice if you can get ‘em. As for knit and crochet patterns — there are loads! Check out http://www.knittingpatterncentral.com or http://www.crochetpatterncenter.com, for example.

Great Patterns, I made a blouse just adapting the PJ top and the sleeves were a lot easier than I expected. Are there any other patterns, well written like these available for contemporary clothes? Thanks so much!!
March 22nd, 2010 at 12:11 am
Hi Michelle – we are working on making more contemporary patterns available via Emily Rose. Stay tuned
March 22nd, 2010 at 8:49 am
You need to down load the Adobe 9 which is on the site. It is safe and that should help your problems
March 28th, 2010 at 8:21 pm
Cool! I hope to soon make them with my cousins they also do help alot!:)

I have downloaded it, but I am having much trouble opening the actual file.

I’m looking for crocheted hat patterns for the American Girl…. Like the Kitt hat. Anyone know where I may find one?
June 11th, 2010 at 8:18 pm
Tried downloading Molly patterns. Would not even begin to download. Help!
June 15th, 2010 at 6:18 pm
They are very large files Sonja. Some folks who don’t have a broadband connection are not able to download at all. They may just be slow though so give them time.
June 16th, 2010 at 3:30 pm
How delightful to find the old patterns! Have the originals except for Josephina.
Thank you very much!
July 27th, 2010 at 7:37 pm
I like the patterns but I didn’t see anything for samantha if you could find those that would be great. But these patterns are very nice to.

Thank you for these lovely patterns!! I enjoy the older type clothes for my dolls.
You have to click on the photo you want,then either save or open the zip file. You have to have Adobe to get these patterns and it’s a free download.
God bless, Dee

Thank you for the link to these patterns. Canada has only recently gotten its own doll called Maple Lea and my granddaughter now has a Canadian Girl and an American Girl (cousins) She is going to love that I have these patterns.
November 28th, 2010 at 7:21 pm
I am so excited to make these! My girls love their dolls and always want more clothes. I can sew these from fabric on hand at a fraction of the cost of buying from the catalog and they will mean more to the girls when they come from Grandma!
December 23rd, 2010 at 1:38 pm
My granddaughters got American Girl dolls for Christmas and I wanted to see where I could get some patterns to “dress them up!” Thank you for supplying these A/G patterns, they’re great!!!
December 26th, 2010 at 3:54 pm
What a blessing to find these patters. My grandaughters will have the best dressed dolls in the North East.
January 12th, 2011 at 10:08 am

February 2nd, 2011 at 10:04 pm
Yes, please send free patterns.
February 14th, 2011 at 1:27 pm
Are you allowed to sell clothes made from the American Girl patterns since they are out of print?
Thanks.
March 8th, 2011 at 9:47 pm
Maybe I missed it, but are these clothes for a full size doll? I am looking for patterns for a 7″ AG doll (Samantha). Anyone know where I could find some?
thanks
March 14th, 2011 at 11:56 am
These clothes fit the 18 inch doll
March 15th, 2011 at 11:54 am
thanks…2 of my Grand daughters now have dolls and I thought I would try to make clothes for them…thanks can’t wait to get started
March 22nd, 2011 at 9:20 am
I couldnt figure how to open the file either, but then I right clicked on the image, then “save target as”. The file is compressed and large, so it will take a few minutes to download.
April 2nd, 2011 at 12:29 am
Where are the American dolls free patterns
April 8th, 2011 at 7:02 pm
My daughter in Australia found this site. What a gem! I won’t have to buy any more patterns as these can be tweaked for other designs!
April 21st, 2011 at 1:12 pm
I just downloaded all these patterns. I love them! I just got my grand-daughter a american girl doll and she’s going to love the clothes.
August 20th, 2011 at 5:05 pm

Thanks
September 8th, 2011 at 2:20 pm
We have some Southern Belle cards an American girl can print off and color or make paterns out of paper and glue them to a card front, for personal use. We have many friends who love the American Girl doll and also liked our Southern Belles. Mrs. J.

Thank you for the pattern information!
For a Grandmother on a limited income, I sincerely apppreciate being able to participate in my Granddaughter’s wished for Christmas. She is getting a hand-me-down Kristen, from a friend of mine, and I will sew clothing for her doll. Thank you so much again!
December 3rd, 2011 at 9:01 am
Thanks so much for the patterns. Can’t wait to make some for 2 special little friends of mine that got American Girl Dolls for Christmas.
April 29th, 2012 at 4:39 pm
I remember when Pleasant Co. sold these patterns for $9,99. I didn’t buy them rhen and in 1998 when my first grand daughter got her first doll, I wanted to make her some outfits and ended up paying about $50 for each one that I could find. I’m so glad for these now as some of them had missing pieces as well.
