My patterns for Barbie and Ken range from the 1970s to 2000s, with a lot of retro reprints. The ones for formal gowns are much too complicated for my home sewing skills and are still in their envelopes. The everyday wardrobes are my favorites. Your dress choice is adorable, especially with ric rac. Separates are easier for me as some of the current Barbie and Ken dolls are "stockier" than my 1970s dolls. How talented you are to match all those plaids.... I look forward to watching more of your videos. Thank you 🍄🍄

Nice sewing spiration,love the Barbie house too

I'm making Barbie clothes now from my Grandmothers vintage patterns that she used for me when I was little. Some of them are the 1950's patterns. It is so much fun. I love your story about your mother. I'm so happy I found your channel.

The best part is how you can still make them! They really do try to give lots of information, you just need a small basic understanding of sewing which you can now easily get on KZread. Then you can get your own vintage wardrobe! How amazing is that? It’s practically time travelling!

That blue dress is so pretty. I had a Barbie and Midge just like the ones you have shown in this video when I was a little girl. I loved them. Now I have been making outfits for a little girl that has just started playing with her Barbie dolls. I hope she loves them as much as I still do. ❤

I recently bought that pattern to try and haven't looked at it yet. As a newbie to following patterns, I am excited to try this one!

I have these two patterns and more. I really need to sit down this fall after the weather cools down and get sewing! I have made Barbie doll fashions from patterns off KZread and they came out super. There is some very talented people on this KZread for sure! Love the Barbie vintage house! I have been wanting one of those. The Mattel told me it was a limited edition thing. Maybe to they will come back with it. I think it even came with a doll too! Thanks for posting this! Oh! You may want to check your local thrift stores. I have found great vintage patterns there too! Have a blessed day!

They actually re-released the house a year or two later with a bubble cut and some nice fashions. I wouldn’t mind getting a hold of those repro fashions!

The fit of this blue dress is wonderful. I own a lot of original vintage Barbie, Ken, Skipper and Francie patterns including this one. I really need to sew this dress. I also love the Vogue retro Barbie patterns series. The graphics on these patterns are amazing.

Be very careful with strong colors of lining. White and nude are best colors. Otherwise, the colored linings bleed onto the doll's vinyl.

@Lola-bg8lr Yes, it would be easy to "knock" that bit of information--until your Barbie shows up with Navy Blue or Forest Green body parts. I bought a 20-inch Miss Revlon in an antique shop with a Mommy-Made wardrobe. She came in a trunk with some adorable outfits by a talented mother for her daughter's doll. Unfortunately, the dolly's mama stored her dolly away wearing a black brocade cocktail dress, and Miss Revlon is a different skin color from her chest to her knees (which is why i could afford her). Now, there are doll websites that claim that there is a topical acne medication that will, if applied to the doll and left in the sun, "bleach out" the unwanted color. However, it can also take out the vinyl color of the doll's skin tones, too. Remember, these dolls are from the 1950s and are a bit fragile.

Very nice!

Great video. Thanks for sharing.

Those outfits are very nice, and the blue full dress is very, Kitch! The button accent on the brown suit is adorable and the tweed overcoat is very vintage. I remember my mother sewing a “Friday Night “Date” to give to my niece years ago except she used a pink corduroy and the appliqués were a “peep” motifs. My mother has long since passed away and my niece is now married with three sons. I’m going to look for the pattern to the, date night and see if I can create my own “OOAK” outfit. Thank you for the trip down memory lane.

So I actually rewatch your wonderful videos because they are so enjoyable and I have gotten several commissions made from MyDollyDolls since this wonderful video. I hope your well.

I was asked, how about this redhead? I couldn't say yes fast enough, lol. Your brunette is stunning!

The redheads are gorgeous too! They are also rarer nowadays, if you care about that kind of thing. I don’t have silk stones, I don’t like the excessive make up.
