American Girl Elf on the Shelf
I’ve been having a lot of fun making usual things for my daughter’s American Girl Doll lately. I did the Candy Corn Dress, which was very popular and now I’ve done an American Girl Elf on the Shelf outfit.

American Girl Elf on the Shelf
Isn’t this a hoot? We call it Ellfie on the Shelf, since her doll is Ellie. I started out by laying our doll out on some paper and traced around her to create the pattern.

Then I laid the pattern out on some red knit fabric. I used the arms of an old shirt of mine. I cut out both pieces, sewed them together, and then cut open a slit along the back to squeeze the doll in.

I made a simple hat to match and my daughter added a bell to the tip of the hat. The collar is made from white felt.
I know that Ellfie is busy planning and scheming for the upcoming Christmas season, even though she *thinks* she’s an angel!
Thanks!
This is so cute! My daughter has a doll that definitely needs this outfit for Christmas.
Definitely not so creepy!
So much cuter than the real Elf on the Shelf! Pinned.
Fantastic!!
That reminds me of my childhood, when my mom did Christmas costumes for my dolls!!
So cute 🙂 I am going to have to get my own doll! Thanks for linking up to Snickerdoodle Sunday!
Thanks for sharing at Throwback Thursday. Your doll outfits are too cute!
Oh Diana, how fantastic! My daughter is wanting an Australian Girl for Christmas (not quite as popular as the American Girl) and this would be fabulous. I'm not really into the Elf on the Shelf but I love this. Thanks so much for linking up to Thriving on Thursdays. I'm featuring this at tomorrow's party. Thanks for coming!

she looks awfully cute! I'm getting itchy for Christmas, too, just like your little elf there.
Oh my gosh, how cute and what an adorable spin on the regular elf. I bet girls would love this way more than the boy elf. Thanks so much for sharing and for linking up to Thrifty Thursday.
Blocked parts … lol
You are so creative!
seriously, too adorable!
That's a great idea you had, use something you already have. The picture where you blacked out her unmentionables is hilarious! Thanks for visiting me. Take care – Dawn @ We Call It Junkin.com
Too funny! I wish Elf on a Shelf was around when my boys were little, it would have been fun:@)
Love it 🙂
Adorable! Funny censoring! My kids are going to love this! Thanks so much for sharing!!
Ummm… I love your censoring! What a lucky girl to have handmade clothes for her American Girls! Thanks for linking up to Tasteful Tuesdays.
Too cute! I'm sure she was thankful you covered up all her girly bits!
LOL!
I want to set a good example for dolls everywhere!
Haha cute! I like that you saved her modesty 🙂
I'm so glad you kept Ellie modest! Very cute:)
Thanks J!
Thanks Paula!
That was my favorite part! Haha!!
I cracked up that you blocked out the American Girl's "private" parts. 😛
Love, love, love this idea!!
Came out terrific!!
Thanks for linking up with my NO RULES Weekend Blog Party :))
What a super cute idea! I know those dolls really become part of the family and this design – and the candy corn dress – include them in all the festivities!
