I found some cute tote bags at the dollar store last week. The fabric itself is slick and waterproof-y, and the pretty pattern comes in four different colors. I immediately snatched up my two favorites of the colors, and came up with a super fun, quick project — a mini duffel bag! The size is just right for an 18″ doll — but, you can always make one for yourself! It would be super cute storage for markers or other art/office supplies — or how about a sewing kit? [Come get the instructions!]
The concept is really quite simple, and doesn’t require tons of sewing experience. Mine went together very quickly, even with taking photos of each step. Now I want to make at least a dozen more, for every doll I know! (Or, secretly, all for MEEE!)
Project Estimate:
- tote bag, $1
- zipper, $1
Total: $2

That’s so cute, Care. I can’t wait until there’s a girl in my house so I can get one of those 18″ dolls (I have been secretly shopping for them for the past 10 years).

This is way too cute! My nieces love all the cool accessories I can make for their dolls, and they think I’m a genius thanks to your blog! :)
