Miss Barbie and her clothes

Along with knitting some Barbie clothes I also sat down and sewn some. Some of the patterns came from pinterest and others from a sewing pattern. Fabric used was scraps left over from clothes I made for DGD and others from other projects,

I do have a few more cut out to make but they will be for her birthday next year. Just figured while I had the pattern out and the fabric scraps were sitting there I would just go ahead and cut them out. I put the cut out fabric with the patterns so everything is safely tucked away together.

This red dress is made from left over fabric used on a same quilt wall hanging and after seeing a fabric like it in black and white on pinterest I knew I had to make one with this fabric. I think it makes a perfect Christmas dress for Miss Barbie.

Barbie is wearing a frozen outfit just like the one I made for DGD couple years ago to play dress up.

gift card holders

Needed some gift card holders for this Christmas so I made these.

The pattern is from Quilters world quilted Christmas 2016 magazine. Pattern is called Mitten Gift bags. I made two of each as I need at least four this Christmas and have a couple extra ready to go just in case. Just big enough to hold a gift card and a little treat.

Christmas crafting

Been busy Christmas crafting right now mainly for DGD.

This is the nightgown I made for DGD and one of her dolls.

Been working on some clothes etc for some barbie's as DGD's Christmas gift and Miss Barbie got a fur jacket and matching hat. Pattern is from an old crafts magazine for when my children were young and the fur is left over from making DGD a fur/flannel lap blanket for her birthday last year. More clothes to come.

And finally Miss Barbie needs a chair to sit in. These chairs are called Grandma's secret chair and the pattern came from a book again when my children were young. Have made them over the years first for my children and than some girls who have come through my home over the years through my years with home child care.  

One will be for my dear grand daughter and the other two will be gifts for two little girls who are in my care this Christmas for their barbies. Feels great making some nice little gifts with left over fabric from other projects so other than time they really didn't cost anything to make them.
