Make a Miniature Dollhouse Bed Comforter
Step #1:
We start with the original measurements of 80 inches by 82 inches. My queen size comforter in real life. To convert that we will need to resize it for a miniature display. One of 1:12 scale to be specific. So we head on over to enter our measurements into the magical mini calculator found here.
The mini calculations are 6 and 11/16 inches x 6 and 13/16 inches. Then as we are measuring and thinking in terms of putting a real pattern here online. We have to remember that every 100 pixels equals one inch. So for convenience we will be rounding out these measurements to 6 inches by 6 and 1/2 inches. Just so our pictures can become evenly calculated for our pattern and photos.
Step #2:
Print out the Dollhouse Bed Comforter Top pattern piece (below) on printable fabric. Let your imagination delve into more ideas to produce this comforter. You could add outlines of thread and a backing to give a quilt like appearance.
If applying a backing make sure you cut it the same size as the front. White cloth would work well with this pattern. Stitch the front panel to the back. Stitch along white lines if designing a quilt like sample.
To get the exact dimensions you may need to print the pattern using a photo editor. I use ArcSoft PhotoStudio. There are others but this one is very simple to operate and I like simple. Get it here for the best price ever.
Cut Out Your Pattern Pieces
These pattern pieces are full size. They are the correct dimensions to make a 1:12 scale queen size dollhouse bed comforter. Simply cut out the pattern and apply it to your cloth. There are three (3) pattern pieces provided.
Comforter Top Pattern Piece - Cut 1; In White - Cut 1
Step #3:
Using the below panels cut out 3 strips of cloth. One for the foot and the other two for the sides. Do not stitch at the corners. Leave the corners open. You can either gather and stitch in place, these side and end pieces or measure a piece of pre-gathered trim. The pre-gathered trim being the easiest. If using the pre-gathered trim however measure the exact length of the comforter's sides and end measurements. Cut the trim to those measures leaving a bit extra to turn under to make a clean edge. You can stitch this in place or glue.

End Panel - Cut 1 |
