Here's what I've been doing late at night :)
A young expectant mama asked me to construct this Heavy Baby from a kit that she purchased here. She intends to present it to her toddler when the new baby arrives.
This 16 " Heavy Baby is filled with 4 pounds of millet that is scented with lavender essential oil. It was an amazingly delightful sensory experience to work with. The pattern was very simple and straightforward and required only basic sewing skills. It involved a combination of hand-sewing (making the head and attaching the head and hands to the body) and machine stitching (sewing the body and clothing).
I enjoyed making this doll so much that I made a second, smaller 12" one to keep and share with Toucie :)

Hi! I can't access the link to the pattern. Is it possible for you to send it again? the doll is lovely!
ReplyDeleteHi, I'm unable to access the link to the pattern. I have searched everywhere for this pattern, no where to be found.
DeleteLove your doll! Also looking for the pattern. It seems they are not selling it anymore. It would be so helpful if you could explain the where and how to add the weight. I can figure everything else out. Your help would be so appreciated!!!!
ReplyDeleteHello! I know you did this a while back, but do you know how much millet you bought and how much lavender oil you mixed in with the millet?
ReplyDeleteHi, I've also been looking for instructions for the heavy baby doll which don't seem to be available anywhere, strangely. I'm looking to understand where to fill the baby with the weight and from this picture on another blog it seems to be in the bottom half, is that right? http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-pI8DpXGfZfU/T2vRu-TyNsI/AAAAAAAACcM/ZvCm4D-nOyI/s1600/hb11.jpg
ReplyDeleteI have also been searching for this pattern for months! I can kind of figure out how she made it by looking at the second picture, but I really wish I could find the pattern somewhere!
DeletePlease can someone put the link??? I can't fond the pattern???
ReplyDeletePlease...
Is there a video or link to a pattern please?
