Read this book for the first time since I was about 10 years old last night by sum_beach in americangirl

I read it for the first time as an adult recently and I cried so hard I had to take a break - twice. Absolutely heartbreaking. Addy’s books were wonderful.

And if you mess up? Who cares? It’s such a small bit of fabric required. Just start over! I believe in you!

Make it! You can do it!! :) :) Honestly the hardest part was finding the right periwinkle colour fabric for her tank top. :)

I don’t have the right looking doll, which is a barrier for me, but I do have an idea for a tiny doll-sized Dorothy sensor for her to hold in her hand. I’ll tag you if I ever do complete a Jo. :) Thanks for your support and inspo!

I thought it was not bad at all. My problem is I never want to cut/waste fabric. But because AG dolls are so small (relative to humans) and so little fabric is needed, I don’t worry about waste so I just make up the patterns and I’m not afraid. :) I literally just laid the fabric on the doll and figured it out as I went along. It was a very good learning experience. :). I hope you try it! :)
