Once upon a time, I found a doll bed and nightstand at a garage sale for something like $5, but I never did anything with it. This year, I decided I was going to do the AGPlaythings Make 50 Things for Dolls challenge, and started with making the bedding for the stray bed.
I started by using the plans here to make the mattress. The finished size is 20"x9"x2". The mattress is stuffed with scraps of an old bathrobe. I also made a pair of pillows, the larger one at 9"x6" and the smaller at 7"x5".
I also made a scrap quilt from fabric scraps left from making doll clothes and various other garage sale finds. I may have used up all the purple fabric in my quilting stash. It's made from 5 strips of 16 5"x2" pieces of fabric for a final size of 23"x24.5". The backing is a southwestern print.
For a final touch, I made pillow cases out of more scrap fabric (I had some scraps with lace edging already attached) and a tiny lace throw pillow.
