My little girl loves to dress up her dolls. She also believes that I can make anything. So, when she brought me a stack of barbies, and told me we needed to make new clothes for them, I agreed. Actually, I spent most of my childhood, and part of high school, making barbie clothes by hand. So, when Emily told me her dolls needed new dresses, it seemed like a reasonable request.
We picked out fabric, and planned outfits, and then over the next week or so, as I found time, I made her barbies some new outfits.
And then put together a fashion show of all their different looks, because . . . well, I like watching Project Runways . . . and it seemed like a great idea for a photo shoot. Emily helped me, after I took some still pictures. She thought it was a great idea, too!
So, start some music with a strong beat in your head, and lets get started:
