Mike made Allie a bunk bed for her American Girl doll for Christmas the year before last. I told her we would make some bedding for it "soon". She reminded me about my promise every time things were chaotic or when there was a baby crying in my ear. My excuse was always that we would do it "later". A few weeks ago, both Jason and Nate were taking a nap and the house was quiet. She asked if we could make the bedding and I didn't have an excuse, so we did it.
Allie picked out some fabric from the bin and got to work helping me measure things out. I let her sew all the straight lines and she was a quick learner.
The fabric is actually something that I picked out for a blanket when I found out I was pregnant with Jake. It was the girl stuff and I ended up using the boy stuff. I found some that I liked better when Allie was born, so it has sat all these years. Now it has a home with Allie's dolls.
She loves it, and now she'll have to find something else to pester me about when I am busy.
