Elizabeth from Twelve Crafts Till Christmas shows how to make this doll-sized bassinet. This soft fabric bassinet gives a special place for a child to lay their baby doll to sleep. And unlike a larger dollie crib, the fabric bassinet packs easily for travel. Go to Part 1 of the tutorial. Go to Part 2 of the tutorial.

The bag is simple, uses very little fabric (about 2/3rds of a fat quarter), has no fussy inside pockets (although you can add your own if you like), and takes me well less than 30 minutes to print the pattern, cut out and sew. But quick and simple doesn’t mean it’s not awesome!
It’s the sort of bag that is versatile enough to be used for lots of applications, not just cosmetics and toiletries. Keep all your pens and pencils in order, use it for a small first aid kit for the car, keep it in your desk at work for a few headache pills and other personal supplies.
Make some for yourself, for gifts or to sell.
I like how you break down the fabric sizes….however, could you also include how much fabric for outside & inside….example:
1 yd for outside & 1 yd for inside? I think it would be easier for the beginners.

Hello-
Just found your doll bassinet-
How do I make it smaller-for 5-8 inch
dolls?
What size is the one shown? Must have
missed it.
Love all the pictures.
Hello
Just wondering how long it took you to make this baby doll bassinet?
Would you be able to give me the measurements to make one for a 17″ baby alive doll?
I don’t have the measurements to make a bassinet for a 17″ Baby Alive doll, but I think you could probably figure them out if you had the doll in hand. My suggestion would be to lay the doll down on a piece of paper to figure out how long and how wide the bassinet base would need to be, and then adapt the measurements for the side and the hood based on the new numbers. It might take some trial and error, so I’d err on the side of larger pieces and then trim down as needed. –Anne
