By July, the weather gets warmer where I am from. The fine weather has dragged me out these days. My baby, who likes to go out, is busy sitting in the stroller and looking around the neighborhood when we go for walks. From the big green trees in our neighborhood to the local children, passing cars, and cute puppies, all this is amazing to the baby.
When I think about my childhood, I always found new things in my small and trivial daily life. This amazed me and always filled my heart with curiosity. If you look at my baby's eyes looking outside, you can see her passion for curiosity. At the same time, I see myself reflected in the baby's eyes. "I used to look at the whole world with amazement and curiosity like that... " It strikes me that as I become an adult, I seem to learn and acquire many things, and I gradually lose my curiosity that I held when I was young.
For me, who gradually lost my curiosity, sewing was a very stimulating factor for my passion. My nine-month-old baby now has dolls that she loves to carry around. I remembered the cute doll patterns on iThinkSew. And I thought it would be good to introduce some animal dolls that are suited for babies to play with on this blog. In addition to the dolls I introduce, there are many cute and lovely patterns, so I recommend you go into the doll pattern section and look around. There are many interesting projects that can be done from beginners who just started sewing, to people who can sew at a high level. How about a special handmade doll gift for your children and grandchildren?
Bebe Doll
"The biggest advantage of this doll is that it is a free pattern! Because it is a free pattern, anyone can download it and make it at any time. This doll is a great project for beginners to try. The making process can be very fun without being difficult since it has eyes, nose, and beard, so it is fun to stitch one by one."
This doll is one of my baby's favorite dolls. Whenever my daughter sees this doll, she smiles and reaches for it. This doll is made from fleece and is very soft and good for babies to play with. It can also be used as pillow thanks its large area. It is also good for babies to hold and play with their hands.
Kitty Hug Doll
"The doll is an interesting project where you can stitch the eyes, nose, mouth, beard, and even cat hair directly on the face."
The doll itself is very simple and easy to make, so even beginners can do it quickly. Perfect as a snuggle companion, the Kitty Hug Doll is well suited for children to take with at night. When you want to give a doll that's one and only in the world, I think this doll is the best!
Cuddly Blue Rabbit & Bunny
The Cuddly Blue Rabbit & Bunny is also perfectly suited for babies and children to hug and play. In particular, the pattern comes in two sizes to fit a wider age range.
My daughter is still a baby, so I don't know if there's a big reaction to the different sizes, but she loves to suck the rabbit's ears. Maybe she's still developing at the age where she explores things with tasting first, but I make sure to especially wash the doll's ears. I personally think this doll is a good doll for babies to who are in constant need to suck items.
Another good thing about having two sizes is that I can always carry my baby toy when I go out. The smaller doll is better to carry around with the same design. I carried it in my diaper bag with the rest of her belongings. If there is anyone around you who wants to give a doll as a gift, I highly recommend this doll.
Also, I remember that when I was young, I really liked dolls of different sizes. I distinctly remember playing with my mother as we each played with different sized dolls.
"If you are a parent with a child who loves dolls or a grandparent with a grandchild, why don't you make a cute rabbit doll as a gift to play together? "
Bear Family
"This last doll is such a cute bear family set pattern! Bear patterns are included by size, and the respective accessory patterns are included for each member of the bear family."
My daughter likes to play with this doll's arm. I think it's because the thickness of the arm perfectly fits her fingers, making it easily held by her hands. If you have a baby who is old enough to play with dolls, it would be great to give this doll as a gift. Because it is a bear family set doll pattern, you can play with the whole family! The pattern might be difficult for beginner sewers. But if you want to improve your skills and look to get into the next level, I recommend this doll.
With that these are the 4 dolls that I highly recommend to iThinkSew users to enjoy the summer with little ones! I made a few for my own daughter and she loves it. Happy sewing!
