Doll Size Farmhouse Bed #10

Built: Farmhouse style doll bed with bedding:

I modified Ana White’s plans here, removing one slat to make the bed narrower.

A special request for a little girl’s birthday, she wanted pink and purple bedding.

Here’s how I made the bed and bedding:

1. Construct the bed per Ana’s plans here, modifying the width one less slat:

2. Prime, paint two coats Behr Swiss Coffee.

Lightly distress edges and seal with wipe on clear satin poly.

Attach mattress base piece:

3. The mattress is made from mattress topper foam, cut to size, wrapped with quilt batting and covered with white cotton sewn shut:

4. For the quilt cut 2″ strips and layout pattern:

5. Strip piece then sew all rows together.

6. The quilt is backed with polka dot fabric and edged with white cotton binding:

7. The sheet is double sided, sew your ribbon details first then right sides together.

Perfect fit for the American Girl dolls.

Happy Birthday Caitlin!
