Dress Forms for Making Your Own Clothes

 

Stitches in a Little Girls Room

 

Although making crafts, clothes, and room decor can be fun and exciting for your little girl, niece, or grand daughter, there are some things to take into consideration. First, is the project you are making "safe" for a child?  The photo above shows a handmade raggedy doll holding a heart pillow.  This doll was simply made from a fabric doll form, then clothes were made, the face was painted, and hair was hand sewed on.  This doll is NOT safe for a baby girl and should not be put in a crib or playpen.  This doll is intended for room decoration only.  It is intended to be a baby girl's first raggedy doll to keep as a heirloom to pass to her daughter someday. Once the child reaches age 4 and no longer puts things in her mouth then parents can opt to use it as a "toy" doll.  Also, the doll form and fabric is not flame retardant, and should not be kept in cribs or playpens.

 

The same is true for the photo above.  The bottle with the baby girl sitting on it is made for room decor only.
