in the doghouse
Unfortunately, I haven't made any progress on actually sewing the playhouse, but I have 9 days till the big b-day, and that is plenty of time. On the side of good news, how adorable is this little french bulldog?This is one of the sides of the playhouse, and the doghouse door will be a little flap secret passage/pet (stuffed animal) door.
So, I had a lot of questions from the last post on a tutorial, pattern, etc. While I'd love to provide a pattern, I have no idea how to make big patterns. And it would totally depend on the size of table you used. So, I will try to give you some basic instructions on what I'm doing, and you can just run with it.
My kitchen table is on the smallish size - it is about 48 inches wide, 30 inches tall and 36 inches deep. I added about an inch to all the dimensions to give me seam allowance and a little wiggle room so it will slip over the table easily. If you have a big kitchen table, this would work great using a folding card table.
I am using felt for the entire playhouse because it is so easy to work with and will save me from finishing a lot of seams. I bought my felt by the yard from Fabric.com. They have great colors, great prices, and free shipping for orders over $35. Plus, you can usually google an active coupon code. I am using polyester felt because it is more affordable for me than wool felt (although, wouldn't that be dreamy?).
I'll try and give you more info as this project goes along!
