I made a poodle skirt with this old pattern, but I had a few problems… #SewingFail #SewingProjects

Last Monday I shared an old vintage Barbie pattern that I thought would be ideal for sewing a poodle skirt. But I mentioned that these older patterns are designed for vintage Barbie, and those older Barbies have a narrower waist than today’s Barbies. So what pattern would be better for a modern Barbie?

The image shows a modern African American or African fashion doll wearing a handmade wedding gown. The bodice of the dress is overlaid with off-white lace, and there's a layer of cream-covered lace over the top of the cotton skirting. The straps of the dress are also made of lacy off-white ribbon. This image represents the doll dress you can make with the free printable PDF sewing patterns found at ChellyWood.com (and incidentally, the website also offers free tutorial videos showing how to make this dress and variations of this dress).

The image shows a Made to Move Barbie modeling a handmade 1950's style poodle skirt in pink with a black silhouetted poodle sewn to the fabric. In this photo, the camera seems to be above the doll, and she's looking up at it. She leans back as if laughing. She also wears a handmade T-shirt and flat white shoes. This Barbie has a dark complexion with blond curly hair.

Bias Tape #Sewing Tutorial

  This week I re-issued my easiest doll shirt pattern and tutorial video. But I’m also going to show you how to add a notion to the felt doll shirt: bias tape.
