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.American Girl Doll Elf on the Shelf Outfit Sewing Tutorial #AmericanGirlDoll #ElfontheShelf #Christmas #Elf #SewingforDolls

I know that Ellfie is busy planning and scheming for the upcoming Christmas season, even though she *thinks* she’s an angel!

  1. 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!

  2. 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.

  3. 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!
