sleepover pals for Laura

Last October- Laura's grandma contacted me about making Laura something special for her first birthday. We decided on a set of Sleepover Pals.

I looked everywhere for a cute pillow sham to make the sleeping bag for this set. EVERYWHERE. Even on Amazon. After months of not finding anything, I searched for the scraps of the quilt I made for her. I had enough left over- so I made my own damn sleeping bag.



Photobucket
It turned out very cute, I must say! I made the dolls hair differently, and didn't include arms because I am having issues with the way the pattern tells you to do them. I just don't think that her way will last as long as I want them to last.

Can you tell I'm sort of obsessed with this fabric? Yes, she is the third doll I've used this particular color way on.

custom doll for miss d

Photobucket
Hours after my review was posted, Amy contacted me about making a custom doll for her daughters birthday that coming up. I didn't really have time to order fabric- so I dug out my pink stash and searched for the perfect pieces. 

I had some, and by some I mean a tiny bit left of this cupcake fabric that I had used for some aprons forever ago. So I paired it up with some coordinating fabric and it's perfect! I really, really like how the different fabric on each side makes the cupcakes really pop.



Photobucket
I'm pretty sure that the red-head dolls are my fav. Every time I get one finished, I look at them and just squeal. And then I don't want to give them up!



Photobucket
So sweet!



Photobucket
Her mama says that Miss D always has a bow or flower in her hair, and could I please add one to the doll, so I made a teeny felt flower- and are you dying? I love it!



Photobucket
Happy Birthday Miss D!!!

custom doll for jasmine

Photobucket
Jasmine requested a doll for her friend's baby girl.


Photobucket
I totally made up that dress all by myself. No pattern! But I did save what I did so I can do it again, don't worry!



Photobucket
With black rickrack hair, brown eyes...



Photobucket
...and a fancy dress using Joel Dewberry's Aviary 2- in the grey/yellow color way...



Photobucket
...and "little miss nater-tater" embroidered on her belly.



Photobucket
Thanks Jasmine!
