My DGD's 2nd birthday is next week. Many of you have watched my progress as I made a Dinky baby for her and a matching quilt. It just kept bothering me that the poor baby doll didn't have a bed of his own. So after learning how to make a fabric basket...I started wondering what I could do in terms of a basket/bassinet for the baby doll. This is what I came up with. Do you think it will float with her? lol! (pun intended) :lol: blessings, Karen

I love it!! It think it's great!!

What a wonderful bed for the baby!!!

That's cute! The other day my granddaughter (3 years old) set her dolly up with a sleeping bag and pillow. The sleeping bag was a sock! It was the cutest thing!

Great Idea!!! Just Darling:)

Looks perfect to me, your Granddaughter will be carrying it everywhere.

Beautiful and creative work. It's a great idea - I love the shape of the basket.

She'll love it! I know I would!

Great work. Was it difficult to sew it together?

No, not really. I've made 3 other baskets before this...though all were round shaped. This was the first one that was oval and the first time for me to make handles like this...so I was guessing how to do this as I went. But I'm amazed that (as long as you get your tension right on your machine) it's not really too difficult. Just tedious to wrap the fabric on the clothesline. You just sew using a zig zag stitch. Once you get the hang of it...it goes pretty smoothly.

Wow! Karen that baby basket is great! Your baskets are all nice! Did you get a chance to make the baby doll sling thing too?

No, not yet...ha! One more thing to try to do this week! At least the pattern came in a few days ago...so hopefully I can get it done by Sunday.

You have done the baby well. Little GD will be so happy.

Ohhhhh cute! I have two 5 year old daughters that would love that. You did a great job.

That is ADORABLE!!!!!!!! I'm sure your DGD will love it!!! :thumbup: :D :D :D :D

oh I Just love it...works just fine!

They both are adorable.

Oh my that is so cute; my first grandaughter will be born in Dec. maybe I should get started.

Adorable

How cute. I think it looks great.

Their both beautiful, your GD should love them. I sure hope you don't have a quilt inspector, my kitty use to love baskets.

Very, very clever! Love your *baby basket* and so will DGD ~ :thumbup:

At the rate you're going, you'll have your own 'Basket Book' published soon ...... :D

That is just TOO cute. I love the 2 of them together.

Absolutely, she will love it. I made something similar, years ago, for my daughter. She saved it, and now my grandkids play with it.

What a fantastic job you did...Naomi
