Well hello — how’s it going out there? Do all you Christmas friends have everything under control??? I’m completely out of it over here. No decorating. No shopping. Nothing. Well, except for a little Christmas sewing — I might be baking or wrapping at midnight on the 24th, but I don’t plan to be sewing LOL.
So, in complete denial about the pending big event, I’ll show you a little doll carrier I made our little cherub several weeks ago. Well, it was probably longer than that — it was when Little Sister was born, and I wanted Big Sister to have a baby carrier so she could carry her babies around just like mommy.
This was such a fun little project and from what I could tell, FinallyAGirl really liked it. The pattern is from Evelune on Etsy and the instructions were really clear and easy to understand. I used the Home Sweet Home fabrics that I have available in my etsy shop and I added a sweet little monogram to the front pocket.
I love that the straps criss-cross in the back — it’s such a neat design — it keeps them from getting tangled.
FinallyAGirl spent some time checking all the features out. Or maybe she was just checking the baby’s diaper — haha. She definitely takes good care of her baby. Her baby gets her own little blankie when they go to bed at night. When they’re here visiting, it’s the little goldilocks quilt that I made for the doll crib. I love seeing her play with the things I’ve made!
The only extras besides pattern and fabric that you need for this little carrier are snaps and those parachute buckles on the sides. I had a really hard time finding white buckles locally, so I ended up ordering them on amazon. While I was making this carrier, I went ahead and cut out one for FinallyAnotherGirl. Before we know it, she’ll be needing one too. I didn’t get it quite finished, but I have a little time left LOL.
Anyway, in case you need a quick, fun project for a little girl for Christmas, this is a great choice! Now, I must run back to the advent calendar I’m working on for the cherub. I’m ALMOST finished with it — hoping to wrap it up this weekend — it’s sort of late haha. Good thing she’s too little to know the difference.
Happy Merry Making!
XOXO,
Anna
So cute!
Anna that is just adorable. I love it! You are such a wonderful Grandma xoxo
so sweet!!! she’s a brave little mommy – checking for stinky in her baby’s dipey … and the quilt top in your previous post is so, so awesome!!!
OMG…cutest idea ever, especially with the new baby on the way. Beautiful & precious granddaughter too…
I wish Frannie were little again!
Anna, FinallyAGirl she’s so beautiful and so big! What a fun project, I want to make one for my grand baby! Thanks for the link! Merry Christmas!
How lovely! – both F and the baby carrier. I don’t think your idea of “quick” quite corresponds to mine otherwise I might have had a go. I’m desperately sewing on the binding of the quilt I started in May for my niece. (It’s all your fault…!)
Such a brilliant make! And sure to be loved and used by the tiny mama-alike! Love these gorgeous pictures too. You are such a lovely grandma XxX
So so cute… what a fabulous grandma you are!
This is the cutest idea ever! FinallyaGirl is so beautiful and sweet looking even if she does sabotage the frosting on gingerbread houses. All children do that anyway. You should get the award for Best Grandmother Ever!
