Easton’s birthday is just 2 months away. While it sounds like a long time, when it comes to sewing (especially sewing with a toddler in the house), it’s really not very far away at all! Since those cute little party dresses are out of the question, I’ve shifted my focus to….. toys. I stumbled across “I Know An Old Woman” interactive doll set (I mean how cool would it be to sing the song and have the doll ‘eat’ the animals?) and thought this might be a fun toy for a toddler. Anyone ever tried this pattern (or something similar – I am fairly certain that I have a Japanese sewing book with the same concept, but different theme)? Not being a doll maker, I’d love to know how ‘involved’ this set is, how long it might take to construct, and it’s difficulty!

That is incredibly adorable!!!
LOL! The idea sounds awesome, but you are WAY more motivated than I am! Just the thought of cutting out all those teensy little pieces makes my hands and eyes hurt. *eek*
Now that is too funny! I’ve got to know how this works out for you, this would be a great addition to our household!
Amen, I know exactly what you mean about sewing with children underfoot! What a cute idea for that toy. Have no idea on the pattern, but sending you enthusiasm for your idea.
Since you can sew clothes, I think that you are a sewing superstar. I don’t think this pattern would be hard for you. And kids are very forgiving of our handiwork. lol
Looks great! What a cool idea. The Granny in the pic looks just a teensy bit creepy though. I think if I was making it I would try and alter her look a bit to make her less scary looking. I’m sure it would be pretty straightforward to make. I have tried sewing dolls before and they were easy compared to clothing.
Have fun!
