The only pictures I have with just leftover fabric that I made clothes with. Will have to dig for them. I traded plastic canvas patterns for Barbie furniture in a sewing forum years back. I forgot what country she was from. She e-mailed copies of old Barbie clothes patterns that I had back in the 70's. Mine had wore out. Now I bought a lot when I could get them cheap. 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.

I forgot to tell you I clip all the sleeves and press before I sew them for the Barbie clothes. I started making them in 1968 for my godchild with leftover fabric. Now I have a stash just for Barbie clothes. How crazy is that.
