Dress Patterns for A Girl for All Time Dolls
Patterns for A Girl for All Time ® Dolls
We love seeing pictures of you with your A Girl for All Time ® dolls, and have been amazed at how many of you create your own costumes, either from patterns you have made your self or from patterns purchased on other sites.
There are several sites that now have patterns specifically created for A Girl for All Time ® that we thought we'd share with you. There are patterns for everything from historical costumes to modern day dresses, and for all skill levels, from first-time dress makers to expert seamstresses.
Chatty disclaimer: A Girl for All Time® is not affiliated with any of these sites and we do not earn any commission or fees from purchase of these patterns. Rather we are passing on information to you about where you can find patterns available for our dolls.
