(are you still singing that song from Mulan in your head? also sew along the long sides of the sleeve pieces. hey doll! wrap the large piece, inside out around her torso, and pin the back together so it’s snug. back stitching at start and finish, sew along the pins. make sure it fits…..this isn’t the best dart job. sorry. take your sleeves and pin them into place on the front and back. sew them on, using your stitching as a guide, back stitch at start and finish. cut a piece of sew on velcro to fit, and sew it on! the more fitted look looser ( i like this version better for larger fabric patterns) Thanks!

Barbie Knit Top Tutorial Hello all! Here’s the grand finale of Barbie® week! (Also, I made a couple of dresses and added them to my Etsy store! Please don’t be intimidated by the knit fabric in this shirt-or the small seams. Click below for more!

If you want to embellish your top-now’s the time! I sewed on a little fabric flower I had floating around. We’ll start on the neckline. this is what it should look like-I suggest ironing all your seams throughout-it makes it look so much better when you’re done! You also don’t need to worry about seams fraying since it’s knit. yah! Now for the sleeves. Now pin the right sides together like so… and sew a seam, curving in a little bit from the sleeves. and then down the side. sew about a 1/4″ seam. Now pin the back pieces together. tada!

Barbie Tops & Sweaters Silver wrap over cardigan Here is the second project for your advent Calendar or for Christmas gifts. I had this little piece of silver fabric and I thought it would make a perfect wrap over cardigan for Holidays (or any other occasion). It is very easy to sew and should take you only a few minutes. You might want to use a stretch fabric for this creation, it will fit better to the doll. Happy sewing! Barbie pink long sleeves turtleneck I like this turtleneck shirt.
