Lilly Mouse Doll softtoy

Lilly Mouse soft toy doll

Many times I have been asked to create a small mouse pattern and so just like that here is 'Lilly'.

She is small just 10.5'' tall and ever so sweet and just like all my patterns I have tried to keep her as simple as I can but without loosing the charm.

She was made as a special gift for my Great granddaughter who just turned 3, also the little carrycot and linen set went with it.

I made her 3 different skirts...well why not a girls got to have a selection.

As with all my patterns they are available in my ETSY shop.

Dolls Moses basket free tutorial, Lilly Mouse or Teen Doll size carrycot

 Small sized doll carry basket 14'' or 35 cm length

I always call these carry baskets 'carrycots' but Moses basket is more universal... anyway to carry a precious dolly any name will do.

I have written this as a free tutorial using pre-quilted fabric which I found at Spotlight Australia but most fabric type stores should have it.

 I have a digital version of this pattern for sale in my ETSY shop if your prefer a downloadable version. It's basically the same but includes dimensions and instructions for pillow and quilt.

Most of my 8 granddaughters have at some stage owned and played with barbie dolls but I like to give them a sweeter option...soft toys and hand made by me.

Lilly Mouse pattern is also in my ETSY SHOP with lots of other cute sewing projects.

Sew your own dolls 'Lola and Ruby'

Lola and Ruby dressed dolls 

I've had these dolls in mind for some time, in fact I started them 2 years ago but the project stalled as other life stuff took it's place.

I've named them after two of our granddaughters ...sweet sisters who are just as cute.

Two dolls two looks, awake and smiley and eyes shut and sleepy...goodnight Mama.

They have a wardrobe of clothes to choose from. a dear little pinafore which I've embellished with braid and ricrac.

A swirly skirt with frills and pockets which can be worn over the pinafore or on it's own.

A small shopping bag for... well small shopping.

Lace edged pyjamas and a gorgeous Dressing gown.

The creating and sewing of the doll I love doing and it comes naturally to me but the pattern making is a new talent that I've had to learn and perfect.

My patterns all include a very detailed tutorial with graphic illustrations, easy to follow step by step with hints as well.

We are staying at the moment in beautiful Maroochydore on the sunshine coast of Queensland Australia. A few hours computer work then outside to enjoy the sun.
