Quilted Baby Doll Sleeping bag with attached pillow
 

My great niece is turning 3 and asked for a sleeping bag for her "bitty" baby. That is a 15" tall baby doll.
I decided to sew the pillow to the bag so she won't lose it.

There is a large rectangle for the front of the bag (pink minke) Next you fold a smaller rectangle in half for the pillow and a larger rectangle in half for the front cover of the bag (print). I put batting inside the folded cover and quilted lightly. I stuffed the pillow with poly fluff and sewed it shut. Place the pillow and cover on pink minke rectangle.

Take Large rectangle print (back of the bag) and place it right sides together on top of the pillow and cover and pin well. Sew around all sides, leaving a hole on one side. Turn right sides out and sew hole closed. done!

Has anyone else made a doll sleeping bag?

This is a super cute idea... Thank you for sharing it:) GB

My three year old Granddaughter would just love this. Thank for your tutorial & idea!!
:D :D :D :D

I too have a 3 yr old granddaughter with a 1 yr old right behind. Baby dolls are everywhere and I think they need sleeping bags!! "Time for nap, baby doll goes in her bag, and you go down in your room!"

That is just too adorable!

Great idea. Smaller things do easily get lost.

I have! They're fun to make, use up scraps and have other uses, too. The ones I make don't have a built in pillow, though.

The ones I make have a little handle in the center of the top. A sturdy piece of ribbon works well for that. The handle makes it a 'draggable'.

They act as nice travel size pillow cases, too. The wooden puzzles for little kids store well in them, and the handle means you can hang them on a hook or over a hanger. When I give a small child a stuffed animal, it is usually in its' own little sleeing bag, too.

Have fun making them.

Thank you for your great idea of putting a handle at the top. I assume you use a travel size pillow case pattern. I will have to give this a try. :)

Cute idea. BrendaK

Cute doll sleeping bag

My 5 year granddaughter and I have made "bags" just a couple of charm squares. We make several and then play a bean bag game. She also likes making pillowcases right now. A month ago it was tote bags. A simple bag with 3 sides and a handle. She calls them her purses. I let her pick from my stash, caution, she might pick something you have plans for. Sometimes she sews and sometimes she does the layout and brings me the charm squares to sew.
Sometimes she just picks things to sew together. Like maybe batting, and charm squares and wants to sew a button (the button is usually done by me) sometimes she takes her "art" and sometimes it just hangs on the wall in my sewing room where she admires it each time she comes. She loves to use the clips instead of pins. She loves to just organize her sewing basket while I sew. We just hang in the sewing room. We have been know to have a tea party in the sewing room after making a placemat. We just have fun, I will work on technique later, because the love of sewing is a gift that I can share with her and she can take it anywhere she wants. I must confess several times I have been so tempted to say put it together like this, but I am patient because the smile of pride in getting done for her is huge. What can I say, she has no UFO's.

Adorable sleeping bag and what a great idea of attaching the pillow to the sleeping bag. You did such a great job on this.

This looks like an easy project to work on with my grand daughter next weekend.

yes. mine had a ribbon loop at the top to act as a handle. Cute and quick to make!
