This is Vicki Walker on behalf of Expert Village. We are continuing our work on the trim around the outside edge of the sleeping bag. We have continued around the top edge with the trim and now we would move down to the other side into the bottom. I have pinned it and we are covering the raw edges with a ribbon where it ended on the top section. This is a lot of fabric and ribbon right here so I'm being really cautious not to break the ribbon and reinforcing this top edge. I suspect that this sleeping bag would be used a lot by a little girls playing with baby dolls and I don't want it to come lose on them. So I would sew the trim all the way down the side and then around the bottom. In the next clip we would be attaching a decorative bow on the side, then in a future clip we would also be discussing other accessories for baby dolls that you might be interested for your little girl's baby dolls.
