Baby Doll Sleeping Bag (w/Matching Big Girl Pillowcase!)

I recently got this fabric for my birthday after having my eye on it for a long time:

It's Michael Miller Retro Candy Shop and I think it is just the cutest. I just had no idea what to make with it! I finally decided on a pillowcase for my girl to take when she goes camping (she and her Daddy love camping so now she'll have a special pillowcase just for that. Totally unnecessary, but fun nevertheless).

I goofed a bit on the pillowcase and did not take the direction of the print into account, so the cute little candy shop kids are sideways. I decided not to care too much about this oversight since it is, after all, a pillowcase for camping.

Have you ever made a pillowcase before? If not, it's one the fastest and easiest project you can make. I used this tutorial, but there are hundreds of them out there.

I had some fabric leftover, so I got creative and made a tiny sleeping bag for her baby Stella doll. I just cut out two rectangles of coordinating red fabric and sandwiched a piece of cotton batting in between. I quilted some vertical rows on there, then sewed two pieces of the candy shop fabric on top (wrong sides together, cut about 5" shorter, to create the sleeping bag look). I added some packaged bias tape around all the raw edges and it was good to go.

Two projects done in under an hour? That's my kind of sewing!
