Dollhouse





I should really wait until I've finished a project to blog about it, but since I'm still in the figuring out stage with the dollhouse, hopefully this will help me too. Mom sent me a link to http://uklassinus.blogspot.com/2008/08/fabric-dollhouse-tutorial.html which is a tutorial on how to make dollhouses! I think it's a great starting point, but goes in to very little detail.
Some thoughts on adjusting UK Lass's instructions:
Use corrugated cardboard instead of mesh. Wrap the batting around the cardboard only once, so that ends meet and be sure it's smooth. I want to come up with some new dimensions for cutting fabric for a different color roof, but kind of winged it my first time around. I'll get them up here. Anyway, here are the results of my first attempt at a dollhouse. (I'm not happy with the elastic, and haven't sewn on buttons or decorated yet... so don't be too judgemental!)
