The image shows a Made to Move Barbie with blond hair and olive complexion standing in a fall setting. Before her is a tiny white wheelbarrow filled with harvest vegetables. At her side are bales of hay. She wears a pretty dress dotted with sunflowers on a burgundy fabric. The dress is trimmed with yellow rickrack. Over the top of this cap-sleeved dress is a sunflower-yellow apron with big pockets. She appears to be holding her skirt out to demonstrate its fullness. A smattering of fall leaves are at her feet. Behind her is a pond with trees that seem to be in various stages of changing from summer to fall foliage colors.

This week I’m going to focus on the pinafore, as it can be complicated if … Continue reading #Sew a Pinafore-style #Apron for Fashion #Dolls w/free pattern@ ChellyWood.com
