More Crafty Goodness: A Small Fabric Dollhouse

Hello all.  I have been at it again.  Crafting and sewing up a storm.  LOL  These following things are for a swap in which we craft or sew things for each other's children.  I was so excited to see the tutorial for the dollhouse on my partner's wish list that I decided to make her one as well as one for my neice for Christmas.  The felt items were also on her wish list, one for each child. 

So, here are the pics!!

These are the three felted notebook covers and pencil pouches she requested. 

And here are some pics of the fabric doll house I made for her little girl!!  This is the front of the house with a front door (and a bluebird above it), and window made from felt added on.  The red on the top is the ribbon handles.

Here is the side of the house.  As you can tell it closes with loops (made from small hair ties) and buttons. 

Here is a picture of the house opened up to see the inside.  The green portion is to resemble the garden outside.  How cute huh???

And another pic of the whole house!!! 

Interested in making a fabric dollhouse for a sweet little girl in your family??? Here is the online tutorial I used. http://blog.craftzine.com/archive/2008/08/fabric_dollhouse_tutorial.html?CMP=OTC-5JF307375954     In some areas it was a little hard to understand what she was talking about, but I can honestly say I muddled through.  If anyone is interested in making it, and gets confused, please feel free to message me and I can see if I can help!!!

I seriously want to be a littl girl so I can make myself one to play with. LMSO

Wow

That dollhouse it so cute! And a handy container too. And it looks so complicated to make That garden piece is a lovely idea, just as the bird.

~~~~~~I must admit I saw the tutorial and thought, wow...........I can do this!! Then I started in on it, and well.....it was a bit more complicatedd that I had orginally tought. However, I still put it together and completed the sewing within a day or two (an hour here, and hour there.....I do have a 2.5 year old after all! LOL) Then I spent some time doing the felted window and door, etc. while wathcing my favorite programs on TV. All in all, it was a learning experience!! I need to finish up the second one for my neice soon before I forget how to do it! LOL

God's Blessings,
Amy Jo
