Using up scraps
I love making little dolls and stuffies. Its a great way to use up scraps of cloth and other odds and ends. Here are two I made to send my niece.
The little doll is just that little. It should be the right size for a 6 month old. It's completely baby friendly and is small enough that it shouldn't overwhelm her in her crib or laying next to her.
I think my favorite part about making these is I just make them up as I go along. I really love this bunny. He really came "alive" when I embroidered the face.
I used some vintage fabric from a garage sale, scraps of linen, rickrack and some felt. I even sewed on a fluffy little tail, but forgot to take a picture of it.
