I decided to make her pretend diapers and wipes for her babies. And a little diaper bag to keep it all in.
I found a few tutorials that were all great. This one has the diaper pattern. This one has the wipes tutorial. And this one has directions for a tote bag.
I will do my best to put it all in one place here.
First of all, I bought 1/8 yard of fabric. (5 pieces of fabric for about $3) Cut it in half and sew the two pieces together, lengthwise. Press open.
Using the diaper pattern, I made it a full sized pattern instead of the half that you cut out on a fold. I traced it onto an old sheet, nice and soft.
Pin right sides together and sew directly on the line.
Cut out, leaving a 1/4 inch edge trim corners and clip curves.
Turn right side out and press.
Top stitch. I sewed as close the edge as possible.
Sew on velcro and put that cute little diaper on a doll!
Wipes
The same blog had a tutorial for dolly wipes. I used some left over felt and it took less than an hour to do this one. I used hot glue to attach the hearts. Oh, with this one I felt like the flap was a little small so I made it the same size as the wipes and it works great.
Diaper Bag
I found a super simple tutorial for a little tote bag. My bag is 12"x9." She had a great little tip for making perfect square corners. So smart!!
I used some scrap pieces of curtains from Katy's room. Nice and sturdy. And pink!
I added a little pocket on the side for a bottle.
Everything fits in perfectly! Yay!!
This was such a fun project and I can't wait for her to play with it!!
