hi cinnamon
i heard of liberty jane from basilmentos she is my personal friend
and i was just like what is liberty jane but once i got on i loved it and i am saying this to anyone who does not like liberty jane ”wow i bet that you have not even gone on it” well bye cinnamon for now got to go shopping on your website
This is my favorite pattern on the site because it’s free, easy to follow, and super useful. It’s not easy to find t-shirts for AG dolls with the perfect fit, but to have a full wardrobe you need quite a few. With this pattern you can make several cheap and easy. Thanks, LJ!
awesome clothes! i joined your mailing list but i cant print out the patterns because im on a laptop. but can i send the patterns to print on my other computers printer?
Is anyone else having trouble downloading the patterns? I purchased the MuuMuu pattern from Liberty Jane, but got an error msg. when trying to download the Free with purchase pattern for shiny dress. Now I can’t get back to the correct page to try again. I got error msg. bX-kqzext.
A pop-up wanted me to do an update just as I was about to download the free pattern. I thought I needed it for the download! Michele
Hi Christine, It’s a common issue when sewing with knits It really depends on the fabric, some just stratch out more than others when sewing. There is a product called fusabli interfacing for knits that you can cut into a thin strip and iron it to the hem or neck line before sewing , that will prevent it from stretching out too much. Hope this helps!
I have a cheap (poorly rated) sewing machine and sewing knits about did me in! The first time I tried this pattern I had stretched and ruffled hems. However, I recently came across a tip on pinterest that really works! First, be sure to use a ball point needle in your machine. But the life changing tip is to use tissue paper under the seam you are sewing (like the kind you put in gift bags). It stabilizes the fabric just enough, and when finished you can easily pull the tissue paper out of the stitch. I just finished sewing this pattern using the tissue paper, and it worked like a charm!

I am not sure how i can make this because i don’t have a sewing machine.
Do you thinkk i could sew it by hand?
last quetion could you email me a guide book about how to sew it by hand?
Hey, I keep trying to download the pattern, but it keeps saying that it is blocked by some “IP” address. I read that they can only do 1000 free patterns a day, so I got up really early this morning again to try and the same thing happened. What do I do?
I just found this site and I am so excited. Your generosity is awesome. What is your source for amazing t-shirt fabric that is perfectly scaled for the AG doll? Is there a manufacturer for doll size fabric? Real people fabric seems wrong in so many ways. OR am I just clueless?
I am grateful for any and all help. Now back to this fab site.
Sincerely,
Mary Marshall
HI Mary, I actually am always on the look out for people sized tee’s that go on clearance at clothing stores. It’s a great way to find thin knits that are current and trendy! You can easily make 5-6 tee’s from one adult size t-shirt Other than that, I love to shop at Britex, but that store is in SanFrancisco!
Hi!! I love your patterns!! I have been wondering if I can sell some things made from your patterns on some of the older ones it says you can but on the swimsuit one it says that you can do like sell from home. I’d love to sell things but I don’t want to violate any copyright rules. What should I do and can I sell things?
-Mimi
Hi Mimi, Actually you can sell any items that you make using the patterns found on our website. Sorry for any confusion. We are in the process of updating the wording on the older patterns. I’ll email oyu our terms document, but it’s easy… just let people know that you’ve used a Liberty Jane (or other designer) pattern when listing your items for sale online. If selling locally, there’s really nothing you need to do, just sew alot and have fun!
I first saw your site because someone pinned it on Pinterest. I am absolutely in love with your patterns. I have 3 girls who all have AG dolls and with those prices for outfits as high as they are, this site came to me at the right time. With thrift store finds I have made plenty of dresses, T’s and tanks. You are so talented. Thanks!
Hi! I’m a huge fan! I love your videos, and I’m downloading this pattern as we speak! Thanks sooooo much for the free and purchasable patterns If you would like to check out my youtube channel, (which would be an honor) I am americangirlrock thanks for reading!! have a great evening

Cinnamon, This may sound crazy, but I was wondering which AG doll you have featured on the trendy t-shirt pattern? I recently got my daughter an AG doll that was closest to her coloring- fair skin, freckles, dark hair, but none of them had the real curly hair like hers. Did you change the hair, and if so, where did you get it? Thanks for indulging me!
Hi Elaine, This is Rebecca, but we got a MyAG at the same time and took off both their wigs and swapped them. The darker curly hair was from a doll with dark skin, that kind of looks like Sonali… Here’s a link to the other doll customized with Rebecca’s hair : http://www.libertyjaneclothing.com/2013/01/cortina-couture-outfit-pictures/ you can find similar wigs like this at Ruby Red Galleria, they have some made to fit AG dolls

Thank you so much for the wonderful t-shirt pattern. It fits so much better than any of the usual patterns. I have used it as it is and revised it for variety. It is the best.

The wig is a blythe wig. Here’s the link to the seller that we got the wig from, but she isn’t selling this one right now.
http://stores.ebay.com/Blythaholic
Nice! So a 12″ Blythe Doll wig will fit all AG dolls? I love the styles they offer; including the colored ones. Really adds a cool touch.
This is my favorite pattern on the site because it’s free, easy to follow, and super useful. It’s not easy to find t-shirts for AG dolls with the perfect fit, but to have a full wardrobe you need quite a few. With this pattern you can make several cheap and easy. Thanks, LJ!

is the t shirt or free tank top pattern easier
I’d say the tank top because you don’t have to attach sleeves
