I hope you saved those priceless Barbie clothes!!
I was going through some of my old Barbie things, not too long ago, and came across some very nicely hand-made outfits (the bombshell dresses, mostly). So, someone we knew, knew how to sew Barbie clothes!
I can’t imagine making those tiny stitches, seams, darts, etc.
Instead of sending me to kindergarten, my mom kept me home and taught me to sew.
Sewed many Barbie clothes and my own clothes. Later all my kids Halloween costumes (Now that was fun!)
Still have the first Barbie skirt I sewed when I was 4. (And it looks like a skirt made by a 4 y.o! LOL)
Had a great aunt with a knitting and crocheting school in Chicago. She taught me. Another aunt taught me embroidery and Swedish weaving and my Gram- tatting. Learned quilting on my own.
Loved that stuff.
