Planing a birthday present for DD

What a bad photo! I should stop taking photo with my Iphone.

I make the sofa and the little table with my daughter few month ago for another doll.

I find these four dolls on ebay at a bargain price few weeks ago.

They are percfect for a five years old girl:

• Big enought (approx 14 cm, 5.5 inch, tall) to play with, smal enought to go on a adult pocket or in the mother's bag.
• Articulated enought to be nice to play with but not to much to be strong enought for a five years old child and a two years old baby not so far away.

So, perfect but they need a more complete wardrobe to play with: my daughter allays complain about the lack of clothes for her dolls. Considering the mess in my DD's room, perhaps a box to store all the set will be a nice idea to.

A little more planing about the box.

First, I don't have enought time to make and decorate a wood box. And my daughter could see it before her birthday. I guess a carton box will not be strong enought for her. In the end, a plastic box or perhaps a fabric bag will have less chance to be damaged.

A little more planing about the doll's wardrobe.

Each doll will have:

• A beach ensemble, a summer dress or summer ensemble and a summer hat.
• A coat or a cape, a winter suit or coordinate items and a winter hat.
• A cotton kimono or a bathrobe, a nightgrown and slippers.
• Some additionnal item such as dress, pant, skirt, top... Only if I have time to sew them!
• A suitcase to store all the set.

I am pretty sure I can find scrap or leftover fabrics in my stash to sew all of this. Considering the size of the dolls, I guess sewing all the clothes by hand will the best thing to do.

To be continued with few sketchs and fabrics ...
