I sewed a bunch of Barbie clothes when I was little and had a blast. My mom gave me some of my dad's old holey clothes and a few socks (because I was little and cutting a sock in half to make a simple tube dress was definitely the easiest way to make Barbie clothes!) and her sewing kit and let me go to town. I didn't really make anything properly and I know for sure that a good few of the dresses I made involved me getting frustrated and just kind of wrapping the dolls in fabric and then wrapping the doll in string to make the dress stay (haha) but I DID really enjoy it and I still remember my mom helping me thread the needles!
