As promised, here is how the Polly Pocket Cozy turned out.
Inside, there's a couch with pillow and a side table with Polly's favorite book. There's a fuzzy rug for Polly to run her toes through, and a soft bed. To give these items some dimension, I used fusible fleece under the couch arms and back and the bed. Everything was adhered on with heat n bond, and then satin stitched. The fun part was how my son helped come up with the idea in the first place, and it was his idea to have the couch and kitty on the bed.
I adjusted the pocket size and made flaps for two pockets to keep all of Polly's accessories from falling out.
If you are interested, I'd be happy to make an applique pattern available. All the other dimensions are exactly the same as Handmade by Jill's Cozy Car Caddy, and it was constructed in the same manner.
