A lovely African or African-American doll with black hair and chocolate complexion stands before a gold-leafy wallpaper on a hard wood floor. She wears a straw hat and a long skirt with sleeveless top. The long skirt is made of a red, white, and blue wavy-patterned flag-like fabric. The sleeveless top is white with red bias tape trim. This doll appears to look a lot like a Barbie doll.

Today’s post will be brief; I’m behind on sewing projects for next week, so you’ll have to excuse my brevity. Continue reading #SewingBlogger Thursday: pleated skirt for 28-in #Barbie
