I upgraded my knitting bag and realized my old one fits an MDD perfectly. It's deep enough for one or maybe two dolls. Hobbycraft bags work fine, some even have windows, has anyone tried this?
 
I know a few people who have repurposed bags for their dolls, and it's a great way to save money and find something that fits just right.
I think if it's the right size and you're happy with how it looks, there's no reason not to use it!
A lot of the bags marketed for dolls can be overpriced, and I'd rather spend on their customizations instead, so a DIY can be a good solution!
Just be sure the inside is clean and free of anything that could snag on the doll's clothes or wig.
You might also want to consider adding a bit of padding or a soft liner to the bottom and sides for extra protection, especially if you're carrying your doll around a lot.
Putting a simple piece of fleece or foam can make all the difference!

To keep your dolls safe when storing them together, try putting tissue paper between them. For longer storage, put in some silica gel packets to keep moisture away. Also, label everything if you've got a bunch of dolls and accessories.
