Garden Play Mat

I have a granddaughter's birthday coming up and thought I should get started on a project for her.
I made Eloise this playmat that Juliet is also starting to enjoy, so I thought I'd make her one of her own.  That way each of them have a doll.

I still have some of the paperdoll fabric which I am able to use.
I backed the doll and clothing with flannel so they are ready to go. I just need to do a bit of handsewing to close them up.



 As you can see I'm using scraps. Not all of them cover everything.  But there is a solution for that.


 Put a tree in front of the hole.  
I was going to make a vegetable garden but when I saw this scrap that looks like a trellis of flowers I decided to make it a flower garden.


 Peter Rabbit will be disappointed with no carrots or lettuce.


 The swing is 3-D and a nice little addition.


More to come as I move along.
