Barbies, sleeping bags, and cameras, oh my!


I love when I complete the easiest projects in the world.  Recently we discovered there was a shortage of sleeping bags for the Barbies.  (What?! We didn't have one for each of the 760 dolls??!!)

 
I had some scraps of flannel and fleece.  I simply cut 2 5x17 rectangles and sewed right sides together.  As I was adding the top stitch, I added a 5x12 rectangle to the front of the sleeping bag to make a little pouch
 
 
I also found some leftover batting and sewed it between two pieces of flannel and came up with these nifty quilts. They aren't seamstress quality, but they are adequate for an afternoon of imaginative play.
 
 
The gals were very excited about the new addition to their collection.  They even staged a photo shoot for the dolls in their bags.  They took the dolls, sleeping bags, and a camera and this was the excitement and rage of their after school fun today. So unplanned, and so much fun.
