I spent the years of my childhood playing endlessly with my collection of American Girl dolls. They provided hours of wholesome entertainment, and their clothing and accessories provided many a Christmas presents. Purchasing American Girl doll made clothing can be expensive, and these tutorials will help you save tons of money and keep the dolls looking oh-so-fresh.
