Sewing Tiny Gifts: Topic Overview & Printable Activities

Hi Everyone! It’s holiday time and you know what that means… Gifts! In this topic we explore a few gift making ideas at a smaller scale. Tiny things that dolls can give to other dolls. There are so many great ideas out there, but we’ve narrowed it down to a few that we’re really excited to share with you!

I’ll be joined by both Donna Kinley and Shari Fuller too! I’ll kick things off with a few crafty printable, perfect for gifting and perfect for packing tiny gifts in! Donna is going to share a tutorial for a creatively constructed tiny toy - Nonni’s Baby Ball - and the fun part is it can be for kids or dolls!
