Pattern Covers:
Thank you for the Aspen’s party dress. It made up so cute. My granddaughters love it. Also thanks for the pointed toe flats. Can’t wait to make them. I love all the patterns. I am getting ready to sew the Bomber Jacket.
Thanks for the free patterns my daughter likes to design and sew new outfits for her dolls. I vote for the clogs.
The pointed toes are the easiest ones! I can’t believe people voted for those! :(
I’ll vote for the clogs.
Miche Design shoes are the best! I have several of the patterns – the lace up boots are my all time favorite! The designs are great, and the instructions are stellar. VERY thankful to see one of these great designs offered for a freebe!! Awesome!
I missed the aspen dress e-mail for pattern, but I put voting on my calendar as not to miss out again. I love Miche Design shoes, I have a couple of them now. She is so creative.!! Thank you LJ for the opportunity to receive new items to try out & create for our “girls” You are most generous :)
They are all cute! But my vote goes for the the flats! They can be the most versatile! Thanks so much for the cute patterns!
I love Miche shoe and boot patterns! I an now officially addicted to making American Girl Boots especially! Thank you so much for starting this “Freebie Friday!”. It’s not only a great idea but an extremely generous thing to do! I Love Pixie Faire, from a huge fan!
Haven’t had enough nerve yet to try making shoes. Need to make some Oxfords to go with a poodle skirt outfit that I am making.
I have made the Strappy Sandals and the Clogs. I am a visual learner and love all the photos that are in the patterns as they support the pattern text very well. I have not tried the Oxfords or the Pointed Flats yet. Thank you for all the awesome shoe patterns and the opportunity to get one free. I keep trying out more. Boots are next on the list already cut out and waiting to be made.
Really…I just closed my eyes and clicked. I have quite a few of Miche’s patterns (except any of the above lol) and I have loved every one. All directions were clear and the end results are so cute.
Flats……I haven’t made shoes before… :)
I’d go for the flats since they are more versatile and looks like a good way to get into making shoes.
Can’t wait to try shoes! Love the oxfords, and the pointed toe shoes…. all are adorable…Thanks to Pixie Faire and Meg !!
never made doll shoe, but will start with this pattern, which everyone wins. Like them all. Thanks
I would love to learn to make shoes for the dolls. I’ve been sewing for dolls for years but

Love ur clothes for AGDoll & deciding which pattern should b free is totally awesome, however, hate the PDF patterns, they don’t print out right, don’t get all the pattern pieces & r unreadable. I’d love to see these patterns n paper, I’d b willing to buy at a reasonable price of course. Just a statement!
Aspen party dress for American Girl.
Has to be the pleated skirt for american girl! So cute
I have both patterns (AG) they’re both great. I have purchased almost everything LJ has, however ….. the last two Freebies, I did not have….. very thankful for those! I have really enjoyed making clothes for my daughter’s dolls and teaching her to sew at the same time.
Thank you Cinnamon and Team LJ
@Jean, that’s a version of a tee that is made from the T-Shirt Variations pattern – the higher neck tee pattern piece is used but it’s not hemmed. Instead you would just cut a small fabric strip to use as binding around there neckline.
I love your patterns I like all but the skirt is the one
I Love freebie Friday! I wanna make the top that is pictured with the AG pleated skirt. What is it called?
Thank you for doing the free Friday patterns. I enjoy sewing doll clothes and your patterns are easy to follow.
I made several of the party dresses during the holidaze. they went well.i just went for the skirt.don’t know why. i’ve made several kilts already. but i do love you patterns they are so adaptable to changes.
I just love your patterns. I voted for the part dress. I think it is great that u r giving away free patterns. Just an idea for a giveaway how about shoe pattern.
Drat! I just bought the Aspen Party Dress last fall, so of course, I voted for the pleated skirt but everyone else seems to want the dress…. sigh. Love them all. Back to my sewing room…..
I just made the Aspen’s party dress over the weekend. It went together quickly and fits well. I can see a lot of possibilities with different fabric applications.
Thanks for the free patterns, my grandaughter loves them for her doll. I voted for the AM pleated skirt, but the dress is cute too.
I vote for the Aspen’s party dress for American Girl! So pretty! Thanks for these freebies! I love your company!

Thank you so much! The pattern for the pointed toe flats is adorable and looks so easy.
I can’t wait to try it out. Melody is always in need of more shoes, and this will be a simple yet professional looking way to make them for her. Thanks again!
