I have been searching for a baby doll carrier for months for my youngest. She is a total Baby Doll Girl. In fact she has over 20 dolls in her bedroom as I type this. And she plays with them all. I thought it would be super cute to get her a Baby Bjorn style carrier but can't find any anywhere. I did find this fantastic Bear Carrier from oliver + s but it is in their book and I didn't feel the need to spend $27.50 when I only wanted the one pattern (but if you are a seamstress check out the book it is pretty cool!). So after a little brainstorming and having no success in finding a tutorial for a good carrier, I ended up coming up with my own. I kick myself for not taking pictures as I went because this was so easy, anyone could make it! I used scrap fabric, some batting and ribbon and this is the result:
It fits almost all of her baby dolls and works
perfectly! She does need help to put it on since it criss-crosses and then buckles in the back, but now she can carry more babies at once.
{Putting it to use during our weekend trip to Santa's Village}
{Horrible picture, but this shows her wearing it on her back}
BTW, that cute little rag doll in the top picture is from
One White Rabbit, and I recommend you go check out their shop. Very nice quality dolls!
Of course I'd love a tutorial! This is on my Christmas sewing list. A tutorial would save me figuring it out!

ReplyDeleteOh, yes. PLEASE do a tutorial. I could probably blunder my way through figuring it out myself, but I so love to hae some direction so I don't end up spending too much time with my seam ripper. :)
