The Amelia Dress for dolls is a stylish design with a flattering structured bodice featuring straight princess seams, a square neckline, and a fully lined bodice. Made from woven fabric, it can be styled for any season—wear it as a dress or layer it with a fitted shirt. The fitted straight skirt offers enough room for the doll to sit comfortably, with an above-the-knee length, shoulder straps, a Velcro back closure, and a versatile waist tie that can be knotted or tied in a bow. The dress is finished with a charming faux button placket and two functional, fashionable pockets.

I am loving the Sewing Pattern Subscription and feel that I am so lucky to belong. It is so much fun getting a new pattern each month for a minimal price. Anna gives new inspiration each month, something new and unique to tempt our imaginations to create. She is always challenging me to create a new and beautiful garment. As for me – money well spent!
In March I sewed the Addy Gown. This evening gown is a fun one to use some specialty fabrics with. The pattern is simple and easy to follow, but makes a beautiful garment! Beginner or advanced seamstress will enjoy this pattern.

I am really enjoying the Monthly Pattern Subscription. It is so exciting to receive a new pattern every month delivered straight to my email. All you have to do is print and sew! So fast and easy. I did another sew along with Anna and often refer back to those patterns. She is so inspiring and helpful. Thanks Anna for the all fun and knowledge you share with us!

I’m having a ton of fun with this subscription. I love the inspirational surprise that arrives once a month in my email. Anna’s patterns are always well drafted with detailed instructions. As a relatively experienced maker I have complete appreciation for their perfect blend of simple to make, fashionable and very adaptable to your own styling.

I’ve been sewing American Girl doll clothes for so long, my original recipients have long since aged out of the dolly stage. Thank goodness for plenty of friends with young grand (and now great-) grandchildren. And thank goodness for the new monthly Doll It Up Sewalong. Over time, you just flat run out of inspiration, but Anna Allen just keeps the ideas rolling into your e-mail inbox every month like clockwork, and they are all adorable. Her patterns are easy to assemble. Her instructions are clear and accurate, and the fit is always perfect. I’ve been following her patterns since her original Doll It Up soft cover book, and the outfits I’ve made have never failed to measure up to the demanding standards of modern little boys and girls. They can’t wait to get their hands on these clothes, and that’s the highest praise anybody can give your efforts.
