"The Bleu Door" is one of my favorite websites for free sewing patterns. Janie has meticulously researched, scanned, sorted, and even translated historical patterns for Bleuette, an 11" French fashion doll. The patterns date from the 1900s to the 1950s. In American Girl speak, this would encompass Samantha, Rebecca, Kit, and Molly. Since most of the doll patterns are for an 11" doll, they will need to be resized in Photoshop to fit American Girl, but the extra effort is worth it to have your doll dressed in authenticate period clothes. And beautiful clothes at that! But don't worry; if pattern resizing isn't your thing, I'll be featuring a few patterns on this blog that I've resized. If anyone out there can help me translate the French directions, I'd love your help!
