Years ago I bought a pattern for sewing Barbie clothes. I did quite a few for my daughter but I can't say it was fun. There are so many tiny pieces and then I had to look for tiny fasteners. I finally settled for little strips of velcro with a tiny decorative button sewn on top. The little packages of special clothes look expensive until you try to do them yourself. After creating a wardrobe, I think they are a bargain!
