I'm tabling European history for the moment (forever), and instead I have some pretty things to show you.
I found some patterns for easy Barbie clothes online and I made some skirts (here's the pattern I used). Hopefully more will be coming. I like doing this kind of sewing--It's less intimidating than a full-sized outfit, but you can make things that are absolutely gorgeous. Barbies are fashion dolls, after all. I also like that you normally don't have to use a sewing machine, although hand-sewing elastic is murder.
Here was my first attempt:
My orange lighting is a tribute to Zefrank, of course. The top is weird, but it was the only leotard that I have, and I don't have any shirts long enough to work with the skirt.
Here is my second skirt, significantly better than the first:
The skirt color is a light gold, but obviously that didn't transfer well.
Now that you've seen my creations, go ooh and aah over the amazingness of this Czech woman named Denisa.
