While on an American Girl Doll eBay nostalgia scroll, I happened to find the original Pleasant Company doll dress patterns from the 90s for Samantha Parkington! How could I resist? I decided to try to make the cranberry party dress from Samantha's Surprise, with all of the sewing being in a single day.

Though this is family-friendly content, this is first and foremost a sewing video, not a video made specifically for children.
