I’ve got a quick gift idea for you if you need a gift idea today. Seeing as how it is Christmas Eve, you’re going to need something quick. This free doll clothes pattern is super easy and fast. Today, I’m showing you my latest of these skirts – a holiday reversible wrap skirt for your American Girl doll or other 18″ doll.
I’ve made these in the past: Sewing American Girl Reversible Wrap Skirts. There may just be some others of these under the tree. 😉 I can’t wait to share that with you after the holidays.
Aren’t they so cute! You can get the free pattern here: Twirls for Girls Dolly Wrap Skirt. The pattern is really easy to follow and understand. My guess is that it takes 15 to 30 minutes to make these. I still recommend the same two tips I gave you in my first post.
- Follow the directions up to the point of turning the skirt. Prior to turning the skirt right side out, clip the corners to remove extra fabric that will bulk up when you turn the skirt right side out.
- Take the time to press the seams prior to turning the skirt right side out. That way when you turn them, the seams will lay very flat and you won’t be able to see the opposite side fabric.
I used leftover fabric from the Gift Wrap ~ Fabric bags I recently made. Snowflake and pumpkin had these red sweaters for their dolls, but nothing that really matched the sweaters. We decided that they needed a holiday skirt to go with the sweater. Since the skirts are reversible they can easily use them all year round.
Snowflake picked out these two fabrics.
Pumpkin picked out these two fabrics.
I spent a few minutes sewing and now their dolls are all set to be dressed for the holidays! I wish I would have thought to get them some cute shoes, like these adorable boots (affiliate link). I hope your dolls have appropriate holiday clothing, cause you know it is really important! 😉
Have a great Christmas!
Do you follow me on Instagram? You should! I love IG and share all kinds of other ideas and inspiration that I can’t share here. 🙂 Can’t wait to see you over there!
Too cute! I love how your skirts turned out:)

LOVE these. My daughter is always looking for new things to make for her AG dolls. Thanks!!! {via make it monday link}
Thanks! I’m so glad you found them. How old is your daughter? My 10 year old wants to try making some PJ’s for her doll. I need to find a simple pattern for her. Have fun!

My nieces LOVE AG dolls and sewing! We’d love for you to link this up to our party! https://housewivesofriverton.blogspot.com/2013/01/riverton-housewives-round-up-46.html
We sure love our AG dolls around here, too!

These skirts are so sweet! Great idea to have them reversible.
Thank you!
KC
thx for the skirt pattern but i dont really like how iy is so straight down i think it should be a little bit pleated or something
Well, maybe you need to create your own pattern then that has the pleats. I bet it would be super cute.

I could find the pattern but not the instructions. I’m a beginner so I really need instructions…
When you go to download the pattern, there are two different files that you have to download. Go back and try the link again and see if you see a second file. I know it has confused many of my readers and they have had trouble finding them. I can’t share their files with you as they aren’t my files. If you still can’t get the file, I would suggest that you contact their site for help. Sorry for the frustration. I’d love to see what you make when you are done!
I totally do NOT understand you can’t share whose files. I would write to them but I am goig in circles as to who is who on this site. Please advise who I contact? thank you in advance
I’m so sorry for your frustrations. The pattern isn’t mine. It’s a pattern from a site called You Can Make This. I just give my tips and tricks and ideas on making them in my posts. Unfortunately, their site doesn’t seem to be working properly and because it’s a copyright pattern, I can’t pass it out. Again, I’m so sorry for the frustration. I wish I could solve the problem for you, but I can’t. You can go to the You Can Make This website and contact them and hopefully, they will respond and get you the pattern.
I can’t share them because they are copyrighted. Only the copyright owner can give them out. I could be sued if I was giving away a copyright pattern for free without the copyright holders permission. You’ll have to contact You Can Make This(which is the site linked in my post). I don’t have a contact at their site, so if it were me, I’d use their contact button. I’m sorry I can’t be more help and I’m sorry for the frustrations.
I found it! Thank you so much!
So glad you found it! Have fun making the skirt. 🙂
was able to print out and make. cute!
So glad you figured it out! I would love to see what you made.
On the reversibe wrap skirt for the american Girl doll where do I put the velcro for the reverse side so it doesnt show
It has been a while since I have made one of the skirts, but I know the pattern tells you where to put the velcro. I believe it is in a place that works for either side of the skirt and it does not show. If you just follow the pattern, it works perfectly just like you want. Hope that helps!
I went to Hobby Lobby yesterday and bought fabric so I can make these little skirts ( 75.00 ). I already have hundreds of dollars worth of fabric. I have no small granddaughters and I’m almost 80 years old!! Something must be wrong with me because I love sewing these skirts. I am now making them for a fund raiser to get money for medical supplies for the Dominican Repulic. The AG doll has been purchased along with some outfits and the skirts and tees will add to it. Thanks for the instructions and the patterns!!!
Oh, that is so great! I’m glad you found a way to have fun making them and make others happy as well. Great combination!
Hi I am want to print out the pattern for vest but I am unsure of where to get that. Could I please get some help.. Thank you.

I sent you an email to try to help you.
Would love to make the reversable skirt but the pattern is no longer available. Seems there is a security issue with the download page. Can you help me?
Unfortunately, it isn’t my pattern, so I can’t help. What I can tell you is that trying a different browser may work. I seem to have some luck by trying either Chrome or Safari. When I get those notifications if I try a different browser, sometimes I can get through to the site. I’ve also done a Google search for the site and then once on the site searched for the pattern, that should work as well. If you need additional info., let me know and I’ll do what I can to help.
I am unable to get the pattern pieces for this skirt. Can you please help me?
Hi! Sorry for the issues you’ve had. Their site has been hit or miss as of late to get the patterns. It’s made me think I need to create my own similar pattern because people really like this pattern. At the moment, I don’t have any way for you to get the pattern. I’m really sorry that they changed things on their site. It’s such a bummer.
The website for the pattern is permanently closed.
I really love your use of the free pattern of AG reversible wrap skirts! You have used it for several of the skirts that you have used–all with spot on prints that go together really well. I was hoping that you might send me the pattern or tell me which site now offers it for free, Many thanks ahead of time. Susie.
Susie, Thanks so much! Unfortunately this pattern is no longer available. 🙁
