Perfect for Slumber Parties and Sleepovers, your 18-inch doll will love this adorable quilted and appliquéd Shabby Chic sleeping bag and contrasting pillows by Little Miss Muffett. A cute sleeping bear head with flappy ears is appliquéd onto a bound pillow and bear paws adorn the shoulder section of the Sleeping Bag. The pretty bonus pillow has rounded corners and optional ribbon trim. The Sleeping Bag has a side snap closure, is fully lined with bound raw edges while the opening is curved to keep dolly’s shoulders warm and snug.

This pattern is designed to fit 18” soft-bodied dolls such as American Girl®.
Fabric Used: I used contrasting and toning Quilter’s Cotton for my Sleeping Bags and Pillows and high loft flame retardant polyester batting. Ricrac, eyelet ribbon and braid were used to trim the seams on the Sleeping Bag Front. Fleece and Cotton were used for the appliqué. This is a fun way to use up fabric pieces too small for a complete garment but too large to throw out.
