Bedding for my friend Barbie

Scraps are the leftovers from my previous scraps.
The mattress is unusual proportions, there is no bed yet, but I based it on a box lid that was long enough for her to lie on, and just wide enough for the width of the sheeting scrap. It only used a small amount of the blue from the curtain. I made it more difficult by deciding to pipe the edges, very awkward with a very narrow strip for the side of mattress. I used a piping foot. It is filled with scraps of wadding from a quilt I reduced to single size.
The fitted sheet is gathered with a length of lingerie elastic - could have been pulled tighter, but it works.
the Pillowcases are housewife style, but I had to use a separate piece for the flap since the scraps were very small. Pillows are made from scraps from elsewhere and stuffed with a bit of wadding as above. It was great fun to do.
The two tiny squares (c. 1") are all that is left from the original piece, other than wisps that came off the edges from the overlocking. I have a cunning plan for those.
