The year I got my first Barbie doll, my mon bless her heart made me for christmas a chest of drawers and a closet out of cigar boxes, a couch and a chair to match and a bed along with clothes.
When my daughter got hers I "tried" to make her clothes but well that went to the way side fast. HATED it. But she did have the furniture that my mom made to play with.
I liked making clothes for her Baby Doll much better that was fun as I was making all of her clothes at the time her doll and her had matching outfits that was fun to do.
