Baby Doll: Bassinets

I've decided to go through my craft stash....and make Christmas presents for the kids. I never knew I had SO MUCH fabric, or so many unfinished (READ: half-way done and I gave up or got side-tracked) projects!

I have a 2 year old niece who is fascinated with baby dolls and pretending to be "mommy". She's a girlie-girl. I searched the internet and was introduced to TWELVE CRAFTS TILL CHRISTMAS, and her doll bassinet tutorial! Brilliant idea for me to use!

***I will allow her to tell you how to do it...can't improve upon perfection.

Here's the finished product for my niece (using my stashes of fabric, lace and quilt batting):

And, of course, why make 1 when you can make 2 just as easily!! So....here is one for my daughter:

And then.....my daughter found them. SO EXCITED! She said "not Cwis-mus, mommy", and that was that. We took the other bassinet to my niece (didn't want them arguing over the same bassinet while we visited), so I guess I'll have to make something else for Christmas. :)
