This is beyond adorable. Cinnamon, you’ve done it again, this is a masterpiece of doll clothing, I can’t wait to get it
I love this! So glad you’ve got the pattern coming. Now I don’t have to design it myself! Great jacket Cinnamon!
You are on a roll Cinnamon!!! Keep ‘em coming. Looks FABULOUS!!!!!!!
This is so cute Cinnamon!
I just finished my own pattern but I can’t wait to buy yours to check out your perfection!
You are the best I love your patterns. The motorcycle jacket is addorable I can’t wait to make it. I think its going to be hard. I can’t wait for the little blue jean jacket as well. Thanks for all of your patterns.
Where do I find the folded elastic for the tank tops I know you showed us the website once but can’t find it . Help!!
Which jacket is easier to make – the denim jacket or the motorcycle jacket? Both are really cute but I want to try one first.
Hmmm, that’s a tough one
probably the denim jacket, but really it’s a toss up…
YES!!! I’VE BEEN WAITING FOR SO LONG! I check the website everyday to see if this is up and I’m so excite to finally be able to get it!!! Thank you Cinnamon! I will definetely share pictures on facebook when I make this…I already have a super cute outfit idea
Awesome! Thanks for your patience
can’t wait to see the pics on FB!
Thank you Cinnamon!!! This is so amazing!! I can’t wait to start it. American Girl just came out with a white jean jacket but I must say that yours is MUCH better!! Thanks for the continued great work! =)
Can’t wait for the next jacket!
I just finished the jean jacket, and is it CUTE! Many pieces, but not difficult to put together because of the very well-organized, clear-cut directions.
Huge Kudos to you, Cinnamon! Will post the results soon on Facebook
Thanks Karen
cute
yaaaaa sooooooo toooooooootalllllllllllly noooooooottt
That’s not very nice, if you don’t like the pattern, don’t buy it, there’s no reason to be rude about it.
OMG! I purchased this pattern and made the denim jacket last night! It turned out sooooo cute! Great pattern! It fits the doll really well! And yes, I hand sewed all of the buttons on! My granddaughter is going to love it! Thanks for a fabulous pattern!
HI Ginger
Fun to hear… I’m sure your granddaughter will be thrilled!
Jacket is cute and was very easy to put together, but when I attempted to sew on the waistband, it was not long enough. Did I do something wrong, or is this a complaint you’ve had from other sewers? Thanks.
I actually had this same problem, too. It was a good inch short. I wondered if I had done something wrong, since the rest of the pattern went together perfectly.
I’d love to see this made in turquoise color using corduroy fabric.
I would love to see this in lime green denim!!!
I’d love to see this made in hot pink denim with floral and heart applique.
I would like to see this made in a hot pink corduroy with some sequins.
I love it!! I have a jacket that looks just like it.
bought pattern and while sewing some pattern pieces were too small. did i do something wrong while cutting. has anyone else said this
Hi Liz, I’m not sure I understand. Did the completed jacket turn out too small or the pieces didn’t work together? I’m happy to help you get it figured out, it sounds like the print settigns may be off.
I just finished the jacket last week and also had a problem with the waistband. It was about three inches too short. I’ll definitely make this jacket again but first make the necessary adjustments.
Hi Linda, Sorry to hear this, but it sounds like either the instructions were not followed correctly of or the pieces were printed out at the wrong size. There really isn’t a way that the wsitband can be 3 inches too short. You can email me directly and I’m happy to help you figure it out

I replied to another commenter above, but I also had issues with the waistband being too short to match the rest of the jacket. I know it was printed at the correct size. It was a good inch or so short. Everything else about the jacket worked perfectly and I LOVE it, but I did want to give that feedback since it looks like I’m the third person here to report an issue with the waistband length.
HI Shea, Sorry to hear this, but I can assure you the pattern is sized properly and the measurement is correct. The only issue I can think might be occuring is the the pattern is being cut at the larger outline for the flat fell seams but is not being sewn at the larger seam allowances – possibly? Does your jacket fit like the one in the cover image or is it looser/bigger? You can email me directly, and send me a pic of your jacket and I can help you figure out the issue
Cinnamon
I just wanted to thank you guys. I love Liberty Jane more than I have ever loved an outfit from American Girl. You have saved me a TON of money while getting something ever better than AG! I check this website everyday for patterns from your liberty Jane brand. Thanks so much for the quality and everything!

Incredibly detailed and a gorgeous result…. I got rave comments on this jacket all over the place, both friends, family, and fellow American Girl lovers. Super easy to follow, and it doesn’t even seem like a medium pattern, other than all the pattern pieces. A PERFECT fit, not too tight and not too loose. Had loads of fun making this adorable jackets, and can’t wait to make more to sell on my Etsy and to make as a gift for years to come.
I also made this in just half an hour compared to my other projects, and the pieces went together perfectly. Even easier than making a doll t-shirt, actually!
