Pinterest is definitely a wonderful thing. Consuming? Yes, but also totally helpful in collecting all the DIY stuff I want to try out. I’ve had these cute little Fabric Nesting Dolls from the Etsy Blog pinned on my DIY board for a while now. They are SO CUTE! I wanted to put my own little characters on them.
Sketching out the dolls on front fabric. Used an industrial sharpie—no bleed, VERY permanent.
I made a four sets this week—one for my newborn neice, two for a friend of mine, Dawn, and a fourth for a friend who will get them in the mail soon! Surprise! My neice will have to wait a while to play with her’s (probably until she develops motor skills). Dawn’s set, the two shown, represent her grandkids.
DIY instructions can be found in the Etsy Blog article, Handmade Kids How-To: Fabric Nesting Dolls

Hey I recognize those kids. What an AWESOME designer you are, but more – what an awesome FRIEND you are to me. I am putting mine on display as soon as I can get a shelf worthy of your wonderful work. Love you Christin.
