New Sheet Set for Gloria Bedroom Playset




larger scan of box

I bought this set because it's the only recently produced doll bed that has the form of a real bed frame, and doesn't have molded-on bedding parts. It's an inexpensive toy, the mattress is folded pink cardboard, and the stock sheet and pillow are obviously the lowest quality. I made a quick set of real sheets.

The floral fabric is from Walmart, the blue fabric is from Dollar Tree. I used quilting cottom, but something much thinner would have been better.

Bottom Sheet



The bed frame has these reinforcements that I needed to cut a hole around.

I traced around the cardboard. I finished the edge with my serger, and left 2-3mm between the tracing and the bulk of the stitch. This way it has room to fold.



Here are those notches.



I ironed a stabilizer to the back side.



I cut the notches out.





Top Sheet



The final dimension is 13 & 3/4 inches by 9 inches. I just did a rolled hem finish.







Pillow



I reused the stuffing and made a pillow and pillow case. Nobody has a decorative pillow as their only pillow.



I made some mini tags out of a real tag.





The finial dimension is 4 inches by 2 3/4 inches.



I left an inch open to flip it and fill it.





I stuffed it and sewed it up with an invisible stitch.



The final dimensions of the case are 4 & 3/8 inches by 3 inches. Maybe it should have been a little longer.
