I had fun this Christmas making things for my kids.My ambitions were too big and I didn't start early enough though.I didn't get everything finished so I will be sewing up a few more presents.
I think one of my favorite items to sew was the little rag doll that I made for my daughter Catherine.I can't wait to get
started on dolls for my daughters Rebecca and Ruby. I used
Simplicity pattern 2809 ,
I bought my pattern on sale for a $1.50 at my local Joann fabric store.
My 12 year old daughter Elizabeth helped me make felt food for Catherine and Rebecca.We had fun staying up to all hours of the morning listening to Christmas music and cutting,stuffing and sewing felt food. I used
Simplicity pattern 2445 for the fruit and veggies and free patterns from the internet for the snack foods.
Here are some links to free felt food patterns:
Bag of chips and sandwich
Bacon, eggs and pancakes
Slice of pizza
Bread and pumkin pie slice
