Turn Old Clothes Into Barbie Dresses!

I had fun this week turning my daughters stained and hand me down clothes into Barbie dresses!   

To make the orange dress I used this website for my basic pattern.  http://www.craftinessisnotoptional.com/2010/08/barbie-dress-tutorial.html

  So I would not have to sew as much I cut the Barbie skirt out of the bottom of the shirt and for the straps I just cut out the already hemmed sleeves from the shirt. 

For the plaid Barbie dress I looked at the already sewn seams on the shirt and then wrapped the fabric around the Barbie looking for the best place to cut.  

I used the pattern from the first dress, but this time I cut out only one piece of fabric following the hem line to a point.

  

I can’t wait to through my daughters other old clothes to see how I can remake them into a fun new Barbie outfit!
