Doll Quilt & Bag {Sewing}

Everyone is a Mother!  Especially little girls who love their dollies!

So what do you do when you have a daughter who's doll is in need of a quilt that only a Mother could provide?  You grab your scraps and help your daughter make her dolly a simple patchwork quilt!

When you find out that there are extra squares of this "oh-so-soft" flannel fabric left, then you naturally help her to make her first bag!  Perfect for every girl to hold her books and treats and other treasures! 

Back the quilt, bind it... you're almost done!  Now you must make sure to label it so daughter and dolly remember that it was Made With Love and Kisses!

If you get lucky enough you can find a plain wood bed at your local hobby shop.  I had plans to paint this but have left it plain for years...someday...maybe...  I measured the bed and cut a piece of foam for the mattress and then measured the foam the same and covered it with matching flannel from the quilt.  Made a small pillow and stuffed it with cotton batting and there a perfectly comfortable bed is ready for dolly!  This makes your little tiny Mother very happy!

Finally dolly has a perfect bed to dream in while staying warm and snuggly underneath a handmade quilt by her little Mommy!  While big Mother is proud of little Mommy for taking such great care of her dolly baby!  Great place to learn and for the cycle to start all over again for the next generation of creative quilters and loving mothers to be!


 

What a perfect place to tote dolly and her quilt around in, but her own matching bag!  So tell me...don't you want a reason to make one now?
