American Girl Patterns were sewing patterns released by American Girl. These were intended for use by skilled tailors to make doll clothes and some children's outfits based on American Girl clothing.
These were phased out in 1998 and all are now retired.
Doll Clothes
The first doll clothes patterns were released for Kirsten, Samantha, and Molly in 1991 as part of the Portfolio of Pastimes. Felicity, Addy, and Josefina had their patterns released around the same time as their debuts. All of them were phased out in 1998 or 1999. This was presumbably to steer people towards purchasing manufactured clothes instead of making them. The ones avaliable were:
- Felicity's Patterns
- Josefina's Patterns
- Kirsten's Patterns
- Addy's Patterns
- Samantha's Patterns
- Molly's Patterns
Copies are currently avalaible for download from http://agplaythings.com/AG%20Patterns/DollDressPatterns.html. Adobe Reader is needed to read the files. Many of the patterns will need to be pieced together as they cannot be printed whole.

- Samantha's Afternoon Tea Dress
