Pdf Patterns For 18 Inch Doll Clothes

With my current interest in sewing clothes for American Girl dolls, I've seen my collection of patterns grow by leaps and bounds. In order to reign in the chaos of over 120 plus PDF patterns I have resorted to using 2 inch binders filled with clear plastic sheets. Each binder holds 18 - 20 patterns.

Anonymous I've never been on your blog--but was just reading the info on this pin from Pinterest--great idea for the PDFs-- and then the comments. I've bought several PDF patterns (I have the same AG and other doll pattern 'bug' as the rest of you and the computer file to keep track of them too) from Morrissey Dolls in the past 4 months and had absolutely no problem with them. Very cute patterns! I bought patterns for the 10' Mary Engelbreit Ann Estelle dolls though, not AG in this case. Maybe they had problems in the past but are fine now?
