Embroidered bats on wet-look spandex – to make doll t-shirts!
I’ve made a number of doll sized items over the years, for a friend who collects dolls. Recently I made a dachshund embroidered doll t-shirt (and embroidered yardage to make a second) along with a ghost embroidered one which I blogged about earlier. However, that wasn’t the end of my doll-size embroidery project… I also made this one with bats on it for her too!

I’ve made a number of doll sized items over the years, for a friend who collects dolls.
One of the things I made ages ago was a sweater and sweater-dress (and matching stockings!) for her dolls from socks. I bought a multi-pack of super cute socks, but they came in two lengths… regular above-the-ankle ones (I think they’re called crew?) and then those little footie ones that don’t even come up to the ankle. I hate those little ones… they always slip down. So… I turned those tiny ones (unworn) into little doll clothes. Continue reading
Laser cut bookshelf, desk, and two chairs – a Christmas 2022 gift for my miniature/doll collecting friend.
A number of years ago, I used the Maker Space’s laser cutter, paper cutter, etc to make a series of miniature doll furniture and accessories for a friend. Although I thought they made cute gifts, really I also got a lot of satisfaction out of designing and building them.
After talking with her later, she identified a few other things she’d like, so when I was able to get back into the Maker Space in the fall of 2022, I decided that along with some of the other things I was working on (mostly for myself!) I would also make a few additional things for her, for holiday and birthday gifts. Continue reading
Laser cut and engraved table and chair – a holiday gift for my doll-collecting friend

I referenced some of the lovely things she’s bought on Etsy for scale and size, and designed each of them to fit the kind of dolls she collects, as well to some degree the style of existing furniture.
