A friend at doll club brgouht a cigar box bed she made from your directions with the postage stamp theme. I was really taken by it and found your site with the complete directions on how to make it, so I decided to give it a try. This little 9 baby boy doll Tiny (from a Diane Effner mold) I made in porcelain doll making class in 1994 seemed to think the theme for this project should revolve around him and jumped right in the box. I printed the words Sweet Dreams Dear Baby onto fabric for the pillow. I used the lyrics from Brahm's Lullaby, repeating it over and over on the typed page before I printed 2 pieces for the mattress. For the side of the mattress I used a 1 1/2 plain white fabric. Fortunately I had two cigar boxes the same size, so I cut the lids off and used them for the head and foot boards, making the headboard a little taller. Four matching chess pieces turned upside down worked for the feet. I found some wood that was intended to be stair railing in my still unfinished dollhouse from 30 years ago. The bed rails may not be up to today’s standard for spacing, but he can't get his head through it so it’s okay! I used cheater quilt fabric for the quilt, backing it with a small twigged fabric for the back and edged the pillow with a bias cut of the “cheater” fabric.
