Want to do something new with your Barbies? You love the clothes Barbie wears, but why stop with the conventional, ready-made wardrobe. With a thread and needle, you can make your own Barbie clothes.
Grab some fabric squares, old, clean socks, needle, thread, and maybe some fabric glue. Then clear a work area and get started. Barbie clothes are going to be small, so you’ll want to measure carefully. Put down a piece of fabric flat on the floor. Lay Barbie on top of the fabric and use her as a guide for the right size you’ll need.
Trace a skirt or pants leaving about ½ an inch all around to be sure the item will be large enough to make it around Barbie’s body. Then fold the material in half and cut out the item. You should wind up with two identical pieces of cut material.
Put the fabric together with the pretty side facing in. You’ll want to sew the clothes inside out. Then thread your needle and carefully stitch up the very outside of each seam. If the stitching isn’t going to well, you can use glue. Then, when the glue is dry and the thread is tied off, flip your garment the right way (all the seams should now be on the inside) and let Barbie try on her new outfit.
