American Girl Doll Sleeping Bag

Lexy is asking for an American Girl Doll for Christmas this year and has asked if I would make her a sleeping bag for her doll.  After looking at some ideas around the internet this is what I came up with...

You will need:

Two coordinating fabrics - will cut 13" x 38"

quilting batting

small amount of poly fill

Coordinating ribbon or bias tape

coordinating thread

Cut two coordinating fabrics and one piece of batting - 13" x 38"

Stack the two fabrics (right sides facing each other on top of batting and pin

Sew around two long and one short side  - leaving one short side open

Trim corners and excess fabric around sides

Turn right sides out - with batting in middle

Measure down 7 1/2" from open end and stitch straight across

Measure across and divide into 3 or 4 even sections - sew down almost to line

Put a little poly fill (stuffing) into each section - to make pillow

Round corners of open end and use ribbon or bias tape to close opening

Fold opposite end up to bottom of pillow (outside fabric on the inside)

Sew each side closed

Turn sleeping bag right side out
