Part II

And for the book! I thought this would be the hardest part. I was terrified. It was the easiest. I think the sewing of the actual dollies was the hardest! The most time consuming part is the decoration of the dresses, ect. I still have to add the felt cut out of Madi's name to the front but this is a great little book with out it even. I am really glad I made it. I have a few more to make for some very beloved little cousins! If I get enough feed back I might even have a GIVEAWAY with a set. :):):)

First I cut out the cotton fabric which I will call the patterned piece to fit the felt piece. Then I ironed down the edges for a good fit... (here I highly recommend pinning... which I did NOT do until half way through....)

Then I cut out and sewed a little tab, and turned it right side out and sewed on the "hook and loop" tape.

Next I sewed a fuzzy piece of "hoot and loop" tape to the outside front cover.

The next step is to make and sew on the pocket.

I cut out the plasticy stuff, cut out little strips of the pattern, ironed them to fit and sewed it to 3 sides and sewed it to the felt.

 Then I pinned it all together and sewed around the edge and VIOLA! We had time to play outside and Madi lugs that book around with her everywhere! It was really fun and the perfect gift! Lemme know what you guys think--- And feel free to post anything in the comments that's fun or crafty or easy! :) Till next TIME!
