Lots of futzing to bring Cinderella to life. Of course within the futzing for the skirt, I end up accidentally shortening the skirt an 1” and now it’s ankle length 🫠

Simplicity pattern and mod fabric came together in a new outfit. I don’t have a lot of outfits for her, but I’m working on a collection.

Does anyone have tips for adjusting a vintage pattern to fit modern curvy Barbies? Or can recommend resources that show how to do this? Thanks!

I’ve been lazy enough to try and make a shirt pattern with all the darts on one pattern piece. Pattern included. Also another 5 pocket jeans with belt loops… work of chance haha. So tiny, and I sew every waistband backwards sigh…

I made this dress last year using a small piece of Hello Kitty fabric from Liberty Japan and it really coordinates well with the hair color of the I love Hello Kitty doll and accessories. (the bird cage is Re-ment and the book is where the dress pattern is from).

I love this girls purple eyes, so I thought I’d go with it and make her a purple floral dress to match! I’ve also been gradually altering my vintage Barbie patterns to fit modern Barbie - this is Simplicity 4510, although I more or less ended up drafting it from scratch in the end. But I’m pleased I’ve got one more dress pattern that fits in my collection now!
