Simplicity

Simplicity (full name Simplicity Pattern Company) is a manufacturer of sewing patterns that was created in 1927. They currently distribute the "Simplicity," "It's So Easy" and "New Look" brands of patterns.

In relation to American Girl, they distribute American Girl Crafts kits through multiple craft stores and outlets; these include stickers, organizational supplies, journals, and crafts for dolls as well as children.

Starting in 2016, American Girl started to release officially licensed doll clothes patterns. Designed for modern looks and listed as "Crafts", these offer mix-and-match components or fancy wear. Starting with pattern #8280, some styles have children's sized patterns to accompany the look in sizes 3-8 ; starting with #8400, this sometimes includes both child- and doll-sized patterns together.

American Girl Simplicity Patterns
Patterns, historically, reuse numbers and designations and sometimes use different numbers for the same pattern. For the purposes of documentation, they are being listed as "American Girl Pattern ####" as documented on the Simplicity website here. Child-sized patterns will be documented on their doll-clothes pattern page if separately offered.
