My niece turned 2 this past February. I had recently found
pinterest and was excited by some of the projects I found. I decided that this
Fabric Dollhouse would be the perfect gift for her birthday. I scrounged up some scraps of fabric, and a few extra supplies and got to work. I really thought the idea was just so cute. It looked pretty easy too.

Well, it didn't turn out to be as easy as I hoped it would be. Mostly I think because I had to hand sew way more then I expected and I am not that great at it.

Back |
It also turned out a little lumpy and kind of uneven. If you can tell by the pictures the front roof is not even with the back roof.

Side |
As far as supplies goes, I used 5 buttons, child hairbands and plastic that you do cross stich on, some stuffing and of course, the fabric.

I had more ideas of little details to do but by the end I was just happy to have it finished on time. I would make another one, but I would have to make sure I had plenty of time to hand sew on all the cute details. I would also make sure I had some sort of adhesive to keep the stuffing attached to the plastic. The tutorial said to use duct tape, but I didn't have any so I skipped it, but I think it would have made things a lot easier to measure and keep it looking a lot cleaner and less lumpy. I guess that's what I get for skipping out on a step. Overall, though, I still think it came out pretty cute. It's little and just right for travel!
I think its awesome! I love your choice of fabrics. I wonder what size dolls its supposed to house...
ReplyDeleteIt looks fantastic! I'm sure your niece will love it. I would have loved one of those as a kid! Pinterest is so inspiring isn't it?
