This shirt was a couple sizes too big for me, so I used a favorite pink shirt to figure our where sew my new seams. Sometimes I trace my new seam lines with the kids markers or whatever I can find around the house. But on this lucky day, I was able to find my chalk tailor which worked great on the black fabric. I left the sleeves and length at the original length of the shirt because I liked the fit as it was.
The pants were brand new with tags from Ann Taylor, at least 75% off retail price. It was a great find!
AND they would have been perfect if I was four inches taller.
I brought them home and hemmed them up. I took my time and did a good job (which I don't always on my little projects) and now I have an outfit that fits me just right.
I'm wondering how many of us have been inspired by Hofficoffi to use scraps to make Barbie clothes!?! I love that idea!
I used the hem from my pants to make a little black skirt for one of the Barbies hanging around my house. A little strip of Velcro attaches the skirt around her impossibly small waist.
Barbie is hanging out in our backyard, wearing her new little black skirt.
Love,

That is such a cute Barbie photo! :)
I love the outfit and the use of old clothes as a pattern. And the Barbie relaxing in the yard in her new skirt is fabulous. Nice job.
