Barbie Sleeping Bag

I finished the 2025 Barbie Sleeping Bag right before Halloween and it posted in early November. I finished the 2026 one before Thanksgiving and its posting in early December. I'm targeting these projects so they don't end up being rush jobs at the end of the donation season. That wasn't how I wished to finish the year but it did give me an idea of how to multi-task and do the projects I most enjoy while still getting the other items done as well.

This is one of Suzie's free sleeping bag projects found here. I combined it with her Beanie bag one found here for the texture. The original pattern uses only sc and while effective is a bit dull to make. Adding the shells makes the project a bit more enjoyable and adds a nice texture to the bag.

Notes:

This project requires an I hook.

It is the same skein of yarn I used for the 2025 sleeping bag and I think its Red Heart Perfect Pink.

My Life Robbie Lynn Spring Dress

This is one of Adoring Doll's patterns that can be purchased here.

Notes:

I love making this early on in the season as it looks nice but it is a quick add.

The shoes have been an issue in the past but this year the directions for the straps for left and right just spoke to me better and I had no trouble making them.

Last year I added contrasting trim around the top and arms. I didn't realize that until I was comparing pictures. For future reference I would add the trim for future projects as it gives it a nice finish.

I used an I hook for all items. I was able to finish up a ball of blue which always makes me happy.

I've started working on the sleeping bag for the first My Life Doll. As I mentioned I want to get the accessories on a regular schedule.
