Little Christmas Bits 19

I was very pleased with the Christmas dress I made for my 18 inch doll so I looked up the scale used for accessories. The scale of the doll is 1:3 or 1 inch in doll size represents 3 inches in human size. Apparently the AGD type of doll is meant to be based on an average 10 year old human.

I got out my hobo bag pattern and and scaled it down so I could make a Christmas bag in doll size. It worked out really well. I even put in an inside pocket. Her pocket book is a needle book I had handy. The measurements made it easy to divide by three and draw up the new pattern. I made it exactly the same way as the big one in Little Christmas Bits 12.

If you like this small one why not download the pattern I drew up. You will probably need to at least read through the instructions that come with the large pattern. You can find them here at La Tee Da Kids.

Little Christmas bits 12

Yay! Caught up today. Trouble is tomorrow I won't have much sewing time. I will have to find something tiny and simple.
I will be going out a few times before Christmas so I thought a Christmas bag might be nice. I found a great hobo bag tutorial and pattern at La Te Da Kids. It is not a kids size bag.
I thought I could use up some more Christmas fabric scraps for the front. One patchwork side was enough so two big pieces for the back. I found I had to be careful that the fold went on the short side not the long handle side. I nearly cut it wrong.
Quick and easy sewing.

Happy Quilting and Crafting,
