So, Aunt B, several years ago, had sent me a blog post from someone’s blog about a Quiet Family.  These were cute homemade dolls that someone made for her family.  They were simple, had eyes, but no mouth.  The intention is that a child, when the dolls are brought out, will realize they need to be quiet just like the Quiet Family.  I’ve always wanted to make these but never have. But, now, I’ve gotten braver with the sewing machine so I thought it would be a good time to make these dolls. 

Zoe and I worked together to make patterns for a mom, dad, boy,  girl and baby.  She picked out the fabric (scraps we had laying around) and requested I make a boy and girl baby.  After the material, was picked and cut, I sewed and sewed.  I came up with this carrier for them too.  I made the pockets slightly too large, as I was just improvising as  I sewed, but for now it works.  If I make these for gifts, someday, I’ll make the carriers a little smaller in the pocket.  The width worked out, however, because the carrier folds over the pockets keeping the dolls from falling out.
