This is what happened with a fabric doll house in a book form. It came in three sizes. It came with the pattern for a doll and then there were other patterns available for clothes for said doll.
The inside of the house has a bed and a closet to store the clothes.
My granddaughters were coming for a visit, so I decided to make them each a doll and dollhouse.
I made one doll with blonde hair and one doll with black hair to match the hair color of my granddaughters.
Then I thought I would make each granddaughter two dolls. Dolls need friends and I thought that might make for fun play.
All the clothes are lined. This means they can be reversible and doubles the number of outfits.
They are sewn with the right sides together leaving a small opening to turn them right side out. It is very tedious and difficult to turn them, but it is doable.
Needle nose pliers help pulling the fabric and I bought some metal and plastic tools to assist and to poke the corners mostly square.
The jackets are the hardest, but are so cute.
After I gave the two sets to my older granddaughters, I started making one for my one year old granddaughter.
She won't be able to play much with it now, but I wanted to make it while I was in the mood.
It is fun and challenging and finding the right fabrics is an aspect I really enjoy.
I gave the finished house to CeCe for her first birthday and I made a second for another girl attending the party. There were two more girl friends at the party so now I'm starting on two more houses.
It's fun and I'll keep making these houses as long as I enjoy the process and as long as there are kids that want them.
