Barbie – Sewing Blogger

The library at the university where I work has some interesting books. My especially random find of last week was Barbie Fashion by Sarah Sink Eames, a pictorial catalogue of all Barbie outfit packs made between 1959-1967. Obviously, it was immediately checked out.

A quick look at Barbie’s wardrobe from the 60s suggests she’d fit in pretty well in the sewing blogosphere.

She’s already made up a Rigel Bomber for Jacket January.

Inspired by Lauren, she’s made up Vogue 1419 in red wool.

She’s joined in with the Ginger jeans making spree, finishing with some lovely top stitching.

She sewed up an amazing ensemble for Oonapalooza.

She’s even purchased a copy of the Secrets of Sewing Lingerie and may have gotten a bit carried away…

Yep, Barbie would make a pretty impressive sewing blogger.

I’ve run out of comparisons, but do enjoy some more adorable outfits from the book!
