Dolling It Up
My friends tell me I have entered my second childhood. It's true! I loved Barbie dolls as a kid, and I especially appreciated the beautiful clothes my mom made for them.
I tried to make my own doll clothes, but the accuracy was just not there yet. I finally started making doll clothes again in 2025 to see what I could create. I quickly discovered that Barbie has a different figure, so I started collecting modern dolls. I quickly realized my mom's old patterns were not going to fit. So I started with two new patterns, and now I design my own patterns. I had to really focus on the seams and details, because they are so tiny. What makes it fun is planning and designing each outfit, and choosing fabrics and embellishments.
Then I discovered the joy of photographing them to present them online to all of you. I hope they make you smile!
