So, a few weeks ago, I saw this beautiful set of fuzzy felt dress up dolls:

This led me to the originator of the idea:

She had also made a felt dollshouse to make it into a takealong toy.
I'm not going to go through my method step by step, as Charla Anne sells the pattern for this toy on Etsy, and I don't want to undermine her earning opportunity. However, I decided to have a crack at working it out for myself. I don't think the end result is quite as sophisticated as the original, but I'm pretty pleased with it, given that I drew the patterns freehand and figured out the method myself!
Rachel is desperate to get her hands on this but we have just wrapped it up for her friend's birthday today, so I am going to have to make another. Oh well!
This is what it looks like:
Cute, don't you think? I may love it a bit too much!
Slightly makes up for my previous stuffed elephant Pinterest fail which has ears sewn just above its tail. Oops!
