My youngest son needed a secret Santa gift last Christmas for a girl in his choir class at school. One of her favorite animals is a Jelly Fish. I happened to see a cute jelly fish pattern on Pinterest so I thought I would give it a try. I loved it, and so did she!

Then my Granddaughter came to visit for Thanksgiving and she loved it too, so I made her one for Christmas. I also have made dolly purses for quite a few years. My good friend in Ohio came home from a trip to Amish country with this cute bag that folds down into a baby bassinet. She showed it to me and asked if I could replicate it. So I took a good look at it and gave it a try. I wish I had taken pictures of all of the bags I’ve made since, but I just didn’t think about it. Anyway, I made Gwen her dolly bag to match her Jelly.

Here is a picture of a doll bag turned into a “purse” and with it opened into a bassinet.
