Kinsley's birthday was over the weekend. One of the things she requested was clothes for her American Girl doll. I decided she would also need somewhere to put all those clothes, so I modge podged a thrifted train case for her.
Not all the thrifted train cases I have found still have their little tray, this one did, it was perfect for shoes and accessories.
And the clothes fit perfect underneath.
I ended up buying a few things that I didn't want to make or couldn't make myself.
I ended up making two dresses. My favorite being the one on the right, I used a whole bunch of vintage lace and ribbons.
I made three different skirts, these were so much fun for me. Then I made a headband and a couple hair clips. And a bag with a little wallet.
I had to make myself stop making things, it was so much fun, and to see her face when she opened it up was priceless :)

This is entirely too cute! I love that little owl fabric - I have some in a different colorline, and it is one of my daughter's faves.
I recently thrifted a sweet little train case, and it is still a big grubby, even after lots of cleaning. I love your idea of dressing it up! She already plays with it all the time, but this will make it extra special. Thanks for the inspiration!
What a lovely gift for your daughter to treasure! Love what you did to the train case which has given me ideas on what to do with 2 old suitcases I rescued from my parents garage.
How precious! Priceless, one of a kind gift. Have you considered adding these as items to stock in your shop and at your craft shows?
what a bunch of cuteness! love the case, but the aprons and skirts are the best. bet she loved it.
This is absolutely darling. The train suit case is so so cute. What a lucky little girl.
It's very beautiful!
I see you.
I just happen to be in love with the fabrics you used for the skirts. Where did you get them?
