Miss Ava is having a birthday & has asked if I could make her more barbie clothes. The first is what not to do, the bodice is too short & using skinny ribbon is a bad idea. #2 I have to undo the ties because I stitched one side crooked but didn't realize until I put it on sigh....#3 I did the tops all basically the same way & using the serger is a fast & easy way to hem I put a sticker on the top but I'm sure that won't last & did 3 different skirts to go with well anything really except the purple. The bathing suits are getting pretty easy for me since I do so many pairs of underwear. A good tip is to hem the fabric first before I put it together makes life so much easier. Also did the waist on the yellow pants way to short but our daughter says they wear them on their hips? I used velcro instead of snaps on most everything here it is easier for little fingers.
