Mini Police Car

Hey there everybody!
I spent the last two days coming up with a little friend for the Mini School Bus. So let me introduce you to the Mini Police Car:
Just like the other one this is easy to make, small enough for little hands to play with, has no hard edges and only a few sewn-on parts. My daughter loves to play with this and the Mini School Bus. The pattern is available here.

I had so much fun coming up with this pattern, I really think I'm gonna do some more minis. They are just so fast and easy to make and such great toys! I'm thinking maybe ambulance, fire engine, maybe a boat too. We'll see what else comes to mind.


Also, I am still working on those two projects:

I guess I should really get back to them, too. I don't like having a bunch of unfinished stuff laying around, but at the same time I also don't really feel like working on them. LOL 

Enjoy your weekend everybody!

Mini School Bus and announcement

Hey everybody,

I finally had a little time on my hands to come up with a new design. This time it's a mini School Bus. I like the big one I made, but it just is too many sewn on parts for me to feel comfortable letting my little one play with it. Also it is just too big for her to play with. So I decided to make a smaller, simpler version of the bus so my 6 month old daughter could play with it.
This one only has the wheels sewn on, everything else is just a changing of colors. Also it is a lot smaller and she can actually grab it and play with it. It is about 5 inches long and 3 inches tall. Perfect for her little hands.
Another benefit is that is is really easy to make. I reduced it to the minimum. The pattern is available at my Etsy store.
Also making this mini has given me the idea of making others just like it. What do you think about that? Would you like more minis or would you rather have the bigger more intricate ones?

I decided that from now on I will not only be selling the patterns, but also the finished dolls you can make from my patterns. If you are interested in having one made for you, please visit my Etsy shop and click on "Request custom item" on the left hand side. I will be happy to speak with you.

Hope to see you back soon!
