I got an American Girl “Bitty Baby” for my 1st granddaughter when she was about 3. I had a cradle made and made a quilt to match the one I made my granddaughter. The head of cradle was painted with flowers to match the quilt. I bought and made a number of clothes. This all sounds great, but she and her younger sister did not care a thing about dolls! So poor Bitty Baby has been played with very little…mostly just undressed and forgotten. So if Addie shows no interest in dolls you might be better off finding what she does like and go from there! Mine both are horse lovers, so paying for riding lessons was a much better gift for them even if it did not involve much sewing. I did make “horse” quilts for them!
