Stand-up Dolls


I don't easily get inspired by print fabric, which is a
weird, sad thing, I know. But occasionally, a miracle
happens. Remember that
swap I did with two friends?One of them sent me this delightful doll fabric:


which spoke to me. It wanted to become stand-up doll beanbags:



If you could get into the mind of a two/four/six year old,
you'll know they'll want their dolls to go to bed at some point:






Goodnight, dolly!



We didn't stop at one, though (we never do).

(basket tote from IKEA)


But wait, it gets worse.


Much
worse.
Tune it to the next post to see exactly how much worse.

  4. Oh fabulous! I really love these dollies (a lot more than the princesses sorry!) and the little bed is adorable. Is the hook to hang the bed up?

  5. Cute ! How many of them did you make ? I want to thank you for the drawings of the folding couch, I just finished it (in a print from Ikea), and my son loves it. I would make a bigger one if it was not that long to sew !

  6. Aaaaah, these are GREAT! I love love love them!!!!
    I might have to steal your idea and make the tiny rest of fabric I still got into those dolls. SO CUTE!
    I am just wondering - did you fill them with actual beans? I am always worried about how to wash them when I use stuff like beans and rice and things ...
    Oh, I could bite my behind for not having bought more of that fabric. But at the time I figured I could always get more later ...
    ARGH!
