Miniature Dollhouse Bedding

-

 

I will show you how to make the bedding for a miniature bed in this tutorial. I have made another post about miniature bedding for a loft bed.. Check out how I changed things for a loft bed in my other post here. This project is a sewing one. I like that it uses all strait lines, and also because of that a beginer can make it. Also, MAKE USE OF YOUR IRON!

Comforter:

What bed is complete without a blanket? Choose two colors of cotton fabric, one for the inside and one for the outside. I think it looks nice to use a colored fabric on the outside and white on the inside, but I also like using other combinations. Make sure that the fabric looks good with your matress.

Cut out two rectangles, one from each fabric. They should be bigger than your bed, like in the photo.


Put the pieces right sides together. Sew most of the way around the edge but leave and opening to turn it right side out.
Turn it and iron the opening in. Then hand sew it closed.

Place the comforter on the bed and mark the sides where it hangs over. Then, iron those so that it fits on and the sides do not stick out.
Fold over the top and iron it down so you see the inside fabric.
Pillows:

Pillows add a lot to the bed and can give it some more color and texture. Start by making some basic white pillows and then make some fun ones.

Start by cutting a rectangle out of your fabric.
Fold it in half with the right sides together. Sew along the sides but leave one side open.
Flip right side out. Iron the side that is open in to create a finished edge. Then stuff.
Sew the open side shut. 

Make more pillows to decorate. Use different fabrics and sizes to give more variety.

Now arrange everything on your bedframe and you have a cozy spot for your dolls. All the bedding is completely removable so you can change it to a whole different style.
I glued popsicle sticks and wooden dowels together to make my bedframe, and made a matress from fabric and sponges. If you make your matress white it will be easy to match with any color of comforter.

    I love your comment use your iron. Kookums failing because I try to short cut and not use it, always fails or at least doesn't look as good.

Autumn Graphic Novels

Fall is by far my favorite season, so I have been excited to release the third part of my series recomending graphic novels for each season since the begining. Be sure to check out the spring and summer lists if you haven't yet. I love everything about autumn, from the weather to, of course, Halloween. It was really hard to choose which books to include, considering how many witchy, autumnal graphic novels I have read and loved, but I eventually settled of these four books that I hope you love as much as me. Hooky by Miriam Bonastre Tur When twins Dani and Dorian miss the bus for a secret magic school, they seek an apprenticeship elsewhere, but end up caught in the war between witches and non magical people. With a team of friends by their side, is there a chance of healing the kingdom? This is one of my all time favorite series, I love the characters and art, especially the outfits. Pumpkinheads by Rainbow Rowell and Faith Erin Hicks Deja and Josiah have spent every fall together ...

Summer Graphic Novels

Summer is here, so it's time for my summer graphic novel list! I decided to make this a series, so check out my  spring list  next. I compiled a list of eight graphic novels I really liked that are set during summer or even just give me summer vibes, so it's time to get that summer reading done! Note that these aren't in a specific order. Sunny Side Up by Jennifer L. Holm When Sunny is sent to stay with her grandfather in Florida for the summer, she realizes it isn't going to be the epic summer vacation she was planning. This is one of my favorite books, I like that it isn't too intense but still has important lessons. Lumberjanes When Mal, Jo, Molly, Ripley, and April arrive at summer camp, it's not what they expected. Something strange is going on in the woods around camp, and it's up to them to find out what. I love the variety of art styles different books in the series have due to the different authors, especially when I can recognize my favorite autho...

DIY Bookshelf Bookmark

Sorry I haven't posted for a few weeks, but I am trying to get back into it with this one. I actually took the photographs for this project months ago, in the fall, but never got around to writing the instructions.  I always like having bookmarks around to grab whenever I am reading something. These bookmarks are a quick, versatile project, as you can change the design to fit your style. I love the natural fall colors I used on mine, but you could completly change it by coloring it differently or using a thicker pen. Play around with different styles! You can also use the same drawing style to make a card or decoration instead of a bookmark. Supplies: Paper (thicker paper is better, it also depends on the medium you are using) scissors pencil pen (or whatever you want to outline in optional coloring tools (can be watercolor, colored pencils, or something else) optional ruler Start by cutting out the paper you will draw on. For a bookmark, it is better to have thicker paper. You can...

DIY Reversible Belt Pouch

  I'm really exited to share how to make these belt bags because they give such a clean, finished result but are actually really simple to make, if you already have some sewing skills. I made mine with ren faire in mind but I think they are super cute for any time if you use your favorite fabrics. Speaking of which, the bag is fully reversible so you have double the color options! You can also change the size and shape for different affects. Before you start making the project, I recomend reading through all the instructions so you know what to expect. I also recomend making use of your iron! First, cut out all the pieces. You need four pieces for the bag, two flap pieces, and a small rectangle for the belt loop. Two of the bag pieces will be on one side and two on the other, so I used different colors. Each of the flap pieces will be on one side, so they can be different colors as well. I haven't included a pattern for the pieces, so you have to make your own shapes. You can d...
