I now iron interfacing on the back so they last longer. A couple of years ago Vogue came out with retro patterns of old Barbie patterns so I bought more. I do that with clothes patterns I like and use a lot too before I can't get anymore of the pattern.

We had 6 inches of rain last night, a foot of water on our street. One time we had 3 feet on the street. Our house is on the hill so we don't have to worry. A lot of bridges washed and high ways were shut. Husband couldn't go to work today. 40 miles south of us had 13 inches. All this goes into the Mississippi River.
Guess I had better listen to local news. This morning DH did say area around Dbq got hammered.

I make tiny quilts and have sewn detailed blue jeans in the past. Barbie clothes are beyond my capabilites! Kudos to anyone who can sewn them.
