One of the nicest things about our ever growing data base of patterns and appliques, is the ability to mix and match projects, or to repurpose projects for different needs. For example, take the pattern for our Nubbie Doll, make it in a beautiful Christmas flannel, and you have an absolutely perfect stocking stuffer for the wee ones on your list! Think of all the gorgeous flannels out there today. The possibilities are endless!
We have baskets of Nubbie Dolls in our house, and even as the grandbabies get older, they still play with them. But wouldn’t this be PERFECT for Baby’s First Christmas? The pattern for Nubbie Dolls can be found HERE or with our FREE Patterns. And frantic moms… if you have all the materials on hand, you really can make one of these during naptime! Enjoy!
I’m in a new mother’s group and I wanted to make small gifts for the babies in the group. There are 12 of them! This is perfect! Thanks.
This would make a lovely baby’s first Christmas. You could do a little embroidery, perhaps, on that lovely hem, say first Christmas or a name or a date. Just lovely.
That is so sweet! I love all of the “baby’s first Christmas” ideas. Thanks so much, I’ll be linking.
What a sweet little doll! I posted a link to your tutorial on Craft Gossip Sewing:
