a little baby doll basket

It is Baby E's first Christmas,

and almost birthday.

I know she will receive a baby doll,

so I could not help myself and made a baby basket!

(not the actual doll, but the only baby left at home,

Miss C.'s days of dolls are long gone!)

I used this pattern from Made Every Day,

a well written pattern, and quite easy to follow.

Dana (from Made Every Day) was my inspiration for starting 

this blog almost 9 years ago...

So yeah, I was happy to buy her pattern!

I used a pink/white/yellow and green striped fabric,

between a canvas and a regular weight cotton.

It has not too much pink as my sister did not want too much of it.

The lining is more pink, with large daysies.

For the interfacing, I used some iron-on foam, usually used for bag making.

It makes the basket stable but still very soft, perfect for a one year old.

In the basket, there are also a mattress and a pillow 

made from the same lining fabric,

and a double sided blanket.

I hope she enjoys playing and carrying her baby doll

around with this sweet little basket.

Happy sewing!
