Oh Florence! She is just beautiful! I'm so glad you found someone who could help you with fixing her. Hope you are well - glad to see you posting! Now I know you've survived the snow! Take care Alexa

I have a really cute Bunny Jammie bag, made from fuzzy side out sweat shirt material ... but it is rather small..... MAYBE toddler size pj's. I guess you could just make it larger..... Let me know and I'll try and get the instructions and pattern scanned for you. I have sold LOTS of these over the last 15 years, doesn't seem to matter that they are small!! The pattern is from a book that my Mother had had for YEARS before I found it.... guessing 1960's or 70's. Karen

I've sewn doll clothes for years(over 40),for my DD then GD'S and now GGD's.And the other poster are correct,get the doll first.I have a soon to be 3 year old GGD,and she loves the soft dolls i make,(think rag dolls).She loves to drag them around with her for play and for bedtime.I make her the dolls and the clothes.She isn't to the stage yet where she just wants to change their clothes all the time,she just likes playing with them,talking to them etc. I've made her dolls,bunnies,bears etc,and different sizes in all of them.Then she just took over some of those sort of dolls that i keep around the house for when the kids come over. If she lives close by,take your cues from her!!My almost 3 year oldGGD plays with Barbies,but she doesn't try to dress and undress them yet.She just talks to/with them,and shows them her other babies.Make sure to make her some dollie blankets as well. I have doll patterns going back to when my DD was little 44 years ago,and for all sorts of dolls. Check your thrift stores also for old doll patterns,ours has lots of them from time to time. 2 years ago i made a wardrobe for my niece for her American Girl doll,she was 11 at the time.She was thrilled!!

Oh good -- thanks guys. It seems like I can make my old folks happy by going early for the visit, and it really helps to feel like things will be fine for another week. Plus it's been pouring all morning. And I promised them peas and kale. I was thinking it would be nice to have a pair of sterile gloves for harvesting at times like this!
