Miss Ava has a birthday coming up this month & has asked me for some new barbie clothes so I have taken a SMALL (lol) break from making baby clothes to make some for her with my increasing pile of scraps. #8 I pulled the fabric as much as I could so I could make it ripple kind of neat too My favorite is the denim dress #5 it turned out really well from a small square of denim. #4 every girl needs a comfy pair of sweats lol, dresses #2 & #3 are a one piece I added darts to the blue & yellow but not the black & white & I think it goes from young to older lol

Lovely, not easy, so small

Thank you very much Sonja, yes I like to keep busy when I can~hugs~

These look fantastic, and Ava will spend many happy hours dressing up her dolls. I don't think I would have the patience or dexterity to do this. Very cool grandma!!!

ah Thank you very much & try lol ~hugs~

Yes , I have made many Barbie clothes and I did not like to sew for her. Now, most machines have the 1/4 inch quilting foot and it is a must have for Barbie clothes. I did sew some for the American Girl doll. She was easier as she is larger. You really did a wonderful job with a coordinated wardrobe. You would get high marks in fashion design!!! she will love them ane you for making them! Kay

ah thanks Kay, they are a bit challenging due to their size but jersey is forgiving & she will be 6 so not a diva lol she won't see my imperfections @ all ~hugs~

Lordie I'm thinking of all the Barbie's I have had to dress through the years.. With 4 girls I crocheted,knitted and sewed a lot of those clothes. Yours look fantastic. My mom was working for Mattel when they first came out with the Barbie so mom sent my 1st daughter so many and so much./Lillian

she already does lol thanks Carolyn, sometimes they can be quite fiddly but she has asked for some so ......

You are really good to sew things that small. I love the tight denim dress. My mother-in-law made clothes for my daughter's dolls years ago. This takes some skill and patience. Great job.
