I am loving this series on American Girl Doll Clothes! I am having fun taking scraps from other projects in my past and putting them together. The golden satin is from a dress I made in high school. Sarah suggested I add the ribbon to the ballet slippers. I was so excited the way it all came together. Of course with a change of fabric, you could transform this into regular doll clothes and skip the ballet part. The instructions are very straight forward. I hope that you really enjoy making this for your little one.

The instructions are very straight forward. I have included pictures for the darts on the leotard and the interfacing that I added to the shoes because I used satin.
Darts are needed for the opening to fit the contour of the bottom.
What the dart looks like pinned.

Now for the Shoes
Cut the interfacing a little smaller the the material your are pressing with the bumps down,
so nothing gets on your iron or ironing board.

If you want ribbon, sew it in with the first seam.
Happy Sewing!! ~Julia

I can’t find the shoe pattern! I need it for my son’s little friend’s birthday gift. Help please!?!

Hi Sarah! The shoe pattern is included in the Pajama pattern. To make ballet slippers, you use the regular slipper pattern that comes with the PJ’s and sew ribbon onto them :)

Thanks! I finally found it after I posted this. Every link I clicked just dropped me back onto this page.
