In a past blog post, A little weekend quilting<\/a>, I showed a narrow quilt top remnant that I was given and described how I was quilting it for practice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A long narrow quilt top remnant that I decided to turn into a doll sleeping bag.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I used new cotton batting<\/a> for the middle layer and a piece of a ripped gray bed sheet as the backing. I took parts of the waistband from an old pair of jeans and sewed them to each end, then used gray quilting seam binding to finish the edges. I used a piece of the seam binding to make a loop for hooking on a carabiner to hold the doll’s adventure camping gear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The poor beat up Raggedy Ann doll was mine when I was young. I am pretty sure my Grandma Hasenfratz made it for me. She was an expert at sewing and crochet. She made me a lot of great things, many which I still have! I don’t know what happened to this poor doll’s clothes, but I’m thinking of making some new ones for her for the heck of it! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I sewed a lot of doll clothes when I was young – they were not well done. A lot of them were just draped fabric scraps that I sewed on and then ripped off when I got tired of them! In my mind my Barbie doll was an explorer and archaeologist by day but she must have had a very active night life as well – I sure did make her a lot of evening gowns! I had a kit to help me make good Barbie clothes but I don’t think I ever mastered it. I’d like to get some practice at making some that look reasonable, if there is time someday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the finishing touches on the sleeping bag, I made a two-sided pillow. I sewed one side of the bag together only about halfway up to that it’s easy to get a doll in and out, and put in snaps for a snug fit on cold nights!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I didn’t write down my process while making this, but I did take a lot of pictures so I can remember what I did if I ever want to make another.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
