More dollhouses!

Attempt #2. I definitely like the inside better with two different patterns. It's not that much harder to do and looks so much better than this!


I like the idea of using rounder shapes on these square little houses. Using felt here to decorate the outside. I'm thinking of doing a window with a candle in it. And maybe a fireplace inside. I like the way the contrast stitching looks, I also used a light neutral color when I sewed up the sides.

OK maybe I've gone a little bit over-the-top. But I'm not in love with UK Lass's instructions, so I keep trying different things to make it better. So here are some ideas to improve on the original tutorial (I think). I hated using the hair bands! I just sewed little loops to go around the buttons and they were easy to make and look loads better. Now I'm wishing I made the top half of the side piece (the house-shaped piece) in the same material as the roof. Also, I think using one handle will work as long as there's also a button on top looping the sides together. But I do think that the handle does a lot for the cute factor. I tried making one with a thin batting (the blue one), thinking that it would look neater, but I don't like the way it turned out either. The batting also does a lot for the cute factor. That's it for now, still working on decoration!
