I made my first garment for the American Girl doll this weekend. I used the pattern from Liberty Jane Patterns - the MV Ivy Cape. It took me a while to get the gathering just right around the little oval piece on the back of the hood but I persevered and finally got it just right. All things considered (like the light bulb being out on my sewing machine!) it turned out very well. If I make this cloak again, I would opt for a 2 ribbons closure instead of the ribbons around buttons closure. It was really hard to sew those little buttons on and I'm afraid it might be a little hard for a girl to push those ribbons around the buttons.
