[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 394677, member: 84"] I've rediscovered my passion for crochet........Much to husband's dismay as yarn is not exactly cheap. lol Oh well. So......... I'm making quite a bit of xmas gifts this year. Much of it is being made from yarn left over from other projects so it's not so bad. But I forgot how much I LOVE to make baby clothes.........and baby dolls clothes are just as much fun, if not more so. So I've gone a tad nuts with Kayla and Aubrey. lol Both are getting baby dolls for xmas. I already have one sweater set for bitty baby done. I'll be making a bunting, a blanket, and a sweater outfit too. Kayla will have the same for her newborn size doll. Then I got to thinking......... Neither girl has something to store their doll clothes and things in to keep them together and in nice shape. For the bitty baby we could always go online and buy the diaper bag set or something.....although it's a bit expensive. But that would still leave kayla out in the cold for her doll. So I thought on it while I was busy working on the first sweater set........ Because kayla [B]really[/B] needs something to put her doll things into to keep them from getting lost or torn up by her brothers. Now way back when Nichole got her Bitty baby you could buy the doll in a set with a wicker suitcase with layette items in it including pretend baby powder, lotion and such. It was adorable and Nichole LOVED it. She stored (and still does) her bitty baby items in the suitcase. No way can I afford to go out and find each of the girls something like that.....and I doubt I could find such a suitcase the right size. Then it hit me. Why not make them a diaper bag, crocheted but just like real ones with the slots for baby bottles ect. Then I thought...........I've seen those inexpensive doll care sets at walmart and the like with the pretend baby powder, lotions ect in them. I could make the bags up and fill them each with one of those sets. It would be very similar to what Nichole got with her bitty baby. I've already got a picture in my head of what how I'll do it and what the bag will look like. I'll write down the pattern as I make the first one to make certain they both turn out the same. I'm going after more yarn today and those baby care sets before they're gone. I'm so excited I can't stand it. Oh, and it also solves a huge problem.
