My older kids each have a baby doll which is about the size of a small newborn. Miss 4 got hers for her third birthday and Mr 7 got his last Christmas. And since they joined the family, I've been asked to make things for them.
This led to me falling down a rabbit hole of old doll clothing patterns. It doesn't take much for me to start collecting a particular genre of patterns, but my son's boy doll being short on clothing options was all it took.
A few weeks ago, I handed the stack of booklets to my kids to rifle through and pick out what they'd like me to make. And this was top of the list!
Apparently, in a house filled with soft toys, what these particular soft toys needed more than anything else, was some soft toys of their own!
Still, I couldnt refuse.
They knit up really quickly; the blue one for my son's doll was completed in two sittings (and that includes the sewing up too).
It was a good way to ease myself into reading the patterns in these older booklets. The embroidery could maybe be a bit better, but I've not heard any complaints from the dolls!
