I really wanted to make a felted crown for Cristina for her birthday. I didn't think I would have the time but I did. I used a grey blanket as a base, double thickness and I lined it with some lovely old soft cotton fabric so her forehead wouldn't itch. I embroidered her initial in gold and also a whale and a dinosaur. You can see what she likes. I'm really pleased with the result and I have already cut the fabric to make for Sofia. I took the idea from the book the creative family by Amanda Soule. I was too disorganized have thought of keeping a pattern but I'm pretty sure she includes one in the book, in any case as long as you get the idea it's pretty easy to do.
Incidentally she loved the dolly's clothes I made and in true Cristina fashion was really happy to share with her sister. I had also made a wool mattress which I quited with big stitches as you would see in Gee's bend quilts and made her a top and bottom sheet and a pillow. They are both really happy playing with the goodies.
