I just realized my Curvy Barbie® shorts outfit isn’t on the Gallery Page. What was I thinking? That has been a really popular pattern!

So this week, I’m putting aside my Easy-Sew Tutorials for Kids agenda and re-posting my Curvy Barbie® free shorts outfit pattern and tutorials.

But don’t worry, the plan for a Halloween costume is in the works. If you’d like to vote on which Halloween costume I should make, here’s a link to that post.

Later this week, please watch for the re-posting of my Curvy Barbie® shorts outfit patterns and tutorials.

On a side note, I took this lovely Curvy Barbie® with me to Paris in July, and I have lots of great shots of her in Paris. The photograph above was taken while Curvy strolled along the cobblestone paths at Montmartre. Isn’t it lovely? Some of my other photos are in my YouTube travelogue video. I’d like to do more with this video series, but as I have recently taken a new job as a school librarian, I just haven’t had time yet. Bear with me. I’ll get to it!
