These are the Phineas and Ferb dolls I gave my nephew for his 1st birthday. He's a fan of Perry the Platypus, but I thought he needed the whole set along with a handy tote to carry around.
The tote is from the Easter Basket tutorial found on the blog Threading My Way.
I increased the size of the tote 2" in each direction by making the side pieces 10" x 8" instead of 8" x 6".
I also added a 3" strip of the orange lining to the top of the outside fabric. I sewed the strip to the top of 8" x 8" pieces of the Perry fabric and then ironed the seams open and topstitched.
I used the stiffest sew-in interfacing found at my local craft store. Since it was so stiff, I cut thrin strips to size for the handles and slid them in the handles after turning instead of sewing the interfacing in and then turning as in the tutorial.
Instructions for making the dolls can be found on my Yo Gabba Gabba Dolls post.
The characters are from page 3 of the Phineas and Ferb's Backyard Board Game printable found on Disney Family.com.
I opened the page in Adobe Illustrator then isolated and enlarged the characters.
