That poor woman.

I approve this message.

Oh I love your fabric!

1950 Japanese silk Brocade (think that’s what this). 100 year old neighbor passed. Daughter told me the military story of her family, how this has been in her mom’s cedar chest for decades (dad was a pilot) and gifted it to me. Now? Here I sit, speechless.

It has sentence structure and coherent. Seriously doubt the orange one wrote that.

Ken’s Tricorne hat. Decorated with wild duck feathers (from the yard).

Thank you. It was fun to create.

Learned so much from this project.

Purchased fat squares were heavily sprayed w/ insecticides and perfumes. (Cough!) Wore kitchen gloves and held breath while stuffing fabric into lingerie bags for a good soapy wash.

Purchased on eBay- The Doll Book. copyright 1966.
Step by step patterns for creating 92 period costumes for Barbies and cloth dolls. Interesting read for the holidays.

Thank you! Surfer guy has no shoes; so his holidays are in sunnier parts of the world. 😀

Tis the season

Working with a smile.

Then it’s time to consider changing dog food.

They may have been drug dealers, but they weren't Trump's drug dealers.

Vintage Barbie Cut and Sew fabric panel. This one had me laughing. Not one true seam. No pocket placement and the bust darts are off by half an inch. A little one playing with the outfit wouldn’t care one bit. An adult would spot it. Gotta love vintage.

Sounds more like false imprisonment. Taking away his rights of free speech.

Love what you created!

Now that they are here, I can shout it to the world. 49 used Barbie patterns for $40! Too wonderful to pass up. One by Brooke Shields, one that’s maybe Carol Brady, and one that looks like Charlie’s Angels. Didn’t know that was a thing.

Long term effects will be interesting. But at least these individuals will be easily identified. Just like MAGA hats.

Thank you!

Broke my rule- never buy pre-cut Barbie patterns. Feels like Schrödinger's cat. Will this be a disaster or not?

Agreed! If description doesn't say "uncut" I won't consider it. Cut to separate them. Iron each piece (low heat, no steam). Then use a copier to make copies of the patterns. Originals kept safe in individual ziplock bags. I'm hard on patterns and they normally don't survive one use.

They're adorable! Those pocket details are so spot on.

OMG! The overalls Ken is wearing in McCalls 6317 are adorable!

Thank you! Currently trying to make a balloon dress. Patterns aren’t working. Create a pattern? Fifth try? (I break up projects. Cut two pieces or sew two seams each day until the project is done. Wish I could spend the day sewing, but no time.) What’s your next project?

I love this outfit! She’s ready for summer. ❤️

Too cool! What a nice neighbor.

I do the same. But do try to make one outfit a month.

Happy Halloween 🎃
