Recently a SIL asked me to make a diaper bag for her girl for Christmas. I looked online and found a pattern that I changed a little to make a little larger and added a bottle pocket.
I couldn't stop with "just" a diaper bag, so I made Miss Dolly a couple diapers lined with minky. This had G-Man asking "Mommy make ME diapers?"
Then I made Miss Dolly two bibs and a Miss Dolly sized receiving blanket.
And well - a diaper bag isn't completely packed without at least one toy, so a doll sized tag blanket was added.
When I was finished I was really hoping that I could become a little girl and play again. I still remember my parent's buying my sister and I a real baby diaper bag for big "Jessica Doll" and a package of real diapers to put on those life size dolls. That being said the doll is about the size of my 12 month old B-Man!
G-Man was bummed when he was told it was for his cousin. So what did Mommy do? Yup, dig through my fabric stash and find the rare boy "okay" fabric and make him one.
"Daddy look! George! Daddy for me!"-G-Man
I had so much fun I couldn't stop and am making one for each of my neices to give to them for their birthdays in Spring and a set for Gramps and Nana's Playroom :)!
Oh - I guess I better make one for B-Man too :)
This is GREAT, L!! :) Thanks for sharing...I was wondering how it would turn out. Cousin is going to have so much fun playing :)
