Today’s doll purse will fit a wide variety of tiny dolls. Not all of the dolls that will fit this purse are mentioned in the first bulleted list, so please keep that in mind.

Here we see the photo of a tiny miniature handmade doll's purse. The strap is made of a lime green ribbon. The body of the purse is made of green cotton with big psychedelic daisies in white and brighter lime green -- almost yellow. The flap is a faux (fake) purse flap made of white felt, overlaid on top of the green cotton purse dotted with daisies. The white felt has tiny green topstitches framing the flap. At the bottom, almost-pointed end of the purse flap is a tiny green button. A doll's hand holds the purse up by the strap. The Chelly Wood dot com logo appears in one corner.

This is the first pattern I’m posting in a series of patterns I’ve specifically created to fit Dawn dolls from Topper (6 and 1/8 inch or 15.5 cm) and I’m sincerely hoping they’ll also fit Pippa dolls from Palitoy (6 and ½ inch or 16.5 cm).

I’ve recently added a Dawn doll to my collection, but I don’t own a Pippa yet, although I’d like to get my hands on one, to try the clothes on, after I’ve made them.

The image shows two different 6 inch dolls modeling handmade doll clothes. On the left, a Dawn doll from Topper wears (top photo) a green and white halter-style long dress and carries a small purse or handbag to match the halter dress. The same doll models a miniskirt-style halter dress in the photo below, and the mini-skirt-dress has a red halter top made of felt over a red-gold-white 70's style mini-skirt. Then on the right, there are two photos of a different doll. She's a blond, I dream of Jeannie doll from Remco. On top, she models 70's extra wide pants with a white T-shirt or cotton shirt that has tee shirt sleeves. On the bottom, she models a short-sleeved shirt or top with a pair of pink shorts made of heart-printed cotton fabric. The text reads on top: New sewing patterns! and in the center, "Coming soon!" The ChellyWood.com logo appears in the lower right corner.

The little blond-haired doll in the photos above is a Remco I Dream of Jeannie doll. She may not be as fancy as a Topper Dawn or a Pippa doll, but she was my inspiration!

I found her at a second hand store for $2.50 American. For that price, I couldn’t pass her by!

So I brought her home and started designing tiny little outfits for her. This was last spring, when I was laid up with West Nile virus.

I Dream of Jeannie was just the right size to sit on my little table, in the living room, where I had to remain in a reclined position. So I whipped up a few patterns to fit her, and now I have a bunch of patterns and tutorials, all stored on flash drives, waiting for me to create the blog posts and upload the videos to YouTube.

But when you download today’s purse project, you’ll see an additional doll pictured there: Lottie!

This is an image of the Lottie doll from Arklu. This doll is in a purple framed photo. She stands with hands spread apart, modeling a handmade bolero jacket, tiny purse, and a pinafore dress. All garments are made of green cotton, which has a tiny daisy print on it. The doll has long chestnut brown hair and fringes (bangs). She wears a pair of Victorian or Edwardian style boots that are brown with little black toes and black heels. The boots are decorated with tiny cream-colored lace ribbons. The doll's purse is made with the green daisy cotton fabric, a white felt faux flap "closure" that has a little green button on it, and a lime green ribbon to act as a strap. The Chelly Wood dot com logo appears in the lower left corner of the photo.

Yes, the dress, the bolero, and the little purse will all fit Arklu’s Lottie dolls. Those tutorials are underway as well, so you’ll have lots of reasons to come back and pay another visit to ChellyWood.com!

To make today’s little miniature purse, you’ll need some craft felt, some cotton fabric, some 1/8 inch wide (3 mm) ribbon, and a very tiny button.

In my tutorial video for making the purse, I also mentioned Fiskars Stitchers’ scissors, which are fantastic for making tiny snips!

**Please note: this is the first time I’ve ever converted one of my patterns to A4 printer paper. I may not have the measurement tool just right, but I’d love some feedback! for those of you who use A4 paper, let me know whether or not the measurement tool is printing correctly. I’m almost 100% certain that the pattern is exactly identical in size to the one on American printer paper, but I’m not sure whether or not I’ve gotten my measurement tool to match. That’s what I need a little feedback for! Feel free to leave a comment…
