WHERE ARE THE PLAYHOUSES? Due to my huge backlog of orders both here on Etsy and on my website, for the first time in 12 years in business, I have removed my playhouses from my online sites. I have been absolutely swamped with orders for the past year. Unfortunately, it looks like the playhouses will be unavailable for the time being. When the playhouses come back, they will come back as ready to ship playhouses only. They will still be personalized, but I will no longer be taking custom orders for playhouses. As I make playhouses, I will list them in my shop, so stop back often beginning in late April, or keep an eye on my Facebook and Instagram pages!! I am SO grateful to all of my awesome customers who have supported my business through the years. In the meantime, if you are a seamstress, enjoy one of my playhouse and/or toy patterns and please visit my teepee shop: www.etsy.com/shop/TipTopTeepeeShop
Children are naturally drawn to the art of make believe. At The Playhouse Kid, our toys are lovingly handmade to fuel your child's creativity and imagination. We believe in creating toys to inspire imaginative play that you and your children will remember and treasure for years to come.
Have you seen my Simplicity Patterns? My playhouse and toy patterns have been featured in Simplicity pattern catalogues! Such an honor!
These are the original Etsy Card Table Playhouses, lovingly handmade in the USA from USA made materials. Each toy and playhouse is carefully handcrafted in my small sewing studio and become heirlooms that are remembered for a lifetime. They are even more adorable in person! Read the rave reviews in my feedback! Remember, my playhouses can be made to fit ANY table~~not all card tables are the same size! They will also fit your table perfectly, with no sagging or drooping. No wrinkly cotton playhouses here! You can pack them up and put them away, and when you take them out again, they look great. Don't settle for anything less than these award winning playhouses. As always, all items used in my playhouses and toys are certified completely child safe for all ages, and are made with eco friendly, high quality felt. Made with love for our planet with felt that is produced from 100% post consumer plastic bottles, manufactured in the USA!

If you would like to make your own version of my award winning card table playhouses, buy my Card Table Playhouse Pattern! This pattern will teach you how to make the popular Little Red Playhouse that was seen on the Today Show and featured in Simplicity Pattern Catalogs! I will help you every step of the way through emails or Etsy conversations. I am dedicated to helping sewers of every ability level create their own playhouses!
Yes! I do create, draw, trace and cut each piece of these playhouses by hand! No pre-made die cuts, no store bought appliques, these playhouses are truly handmade from start to finish. I design each wall panel, then trace all the applique pieces and cut them out with my trusty scissors. It's my favorite part of making playhouses! Tracing and cutting the pieces, then assembling them all together like a great big puzzle.

5 out of 5 starsThis item arrived quickly and in plenty of time to collect Valentine cards. Such a cute idea and nicely sewn. I would definitely buy another for a gift or for an alternate holiday. It's such a bright spot at the table. Both decorative and functional!

Creating a playhouse that will be loved and remembered forever!
At The Playhouse Kid, we are Saving Play, One Imagination At A Time™!!
Something magical happens when a child sees a playhouse. Their eyes light up and their smiles appear! "Wow, look at that cool little house". You can almost see their imaginations come to life.
"Let's play house! You be the mom, I'll be the Dad!" "Let's play castle! You be the princess, I'll be the prince!" Sound familiar? If you have children, you probably hear these things all the time. These conversations are among the happiest memories I have of my kids!
Children are naturally drawn to the magical art of make believe. But, did you know it's more than just fun? Creating a make believe space, playing dress up, and reenacting stories can play key roles in child development. My playhouses and toys encourage your child to dream and imagine and grow through play.
When I was 8 years old, I made a hideous tie for my dad and he wore it to work the next day. Making that tie sparked my love of sewing, and it has never died. Years later, I inherited a sewing machine, and that was that! Lots of practice, trial and error, an enormous fascination with machine applique, and here I am. I have sewn for fun since I was a child. I have also sewn for profit for over 25 years, making apparel, quilts, doll clothes and more.
When my nieces were young (nearly 15 years ago!), I designed and created my popular Little Red Playhouse that was recently featured on the Today Show. I immediately fell in love with making these little houses and, for many years, sold them successfully at fine arts and craft fairs. Four years ago, as an "older" mom, I pulled out all my playhouse patterns and started sewing them again. My sister, Jill, encouraged me to start selling them online. Now, my beloved hobby is my full time job. I am at home every day, creating a world filled with wonder for my kids and for your kids.
The Playhouse Kid (previously, My First Playhouse) has been featured, among others, on the Today Show, Babble, Canadian Family Magazine, Simplicity Pattern Catalogs, Fashion Fusion Magazine as well countless blogs.
I am honored that Etsy plays such a big part in my business, and I am so happy to share my love of imaginative play with all of you. Stay tuned, there are BIG things happening for my little shop, and I am anxious to share them with you!
In order to continue making and selling these playhouses, I have hired an outstanding local seamstress (JL) to help me a few hours a week with the sewing, and another helper who assists me with the teepee cutting (WH). We work together in my studio and their work is under my direct supervision at all times. The loving handmade nature of these playhouses is my number one priority and, together, we sew magical childhood memories!!

Creativity and color! That is what I am all about. The good looking guy next to me is my husband, under a swim noodle rainbow on our wedding day. (Long story!) We're a great team, and my business and life would be nothing without him.
