Barbie has Paris, Milan and New York Fashion Week dolls… but what about London? 🇬🇧

So I decided to make one myself. 😄

I started with five different designs, researched what makes London fashion so unique, and then chose one to actually make.

And of course, because I can't make anything too simple, I ended up making a tiny tailored belt, a real miniature tie, a beret, and even cutting the skirt on the bias. 😂

The finished London Fashion Week Barbie is finally here!

Would you have chosen the same design I did? 👀

This futuristic Barbie made me dream.

As a fashion designer, I started imagining the kind of world she could belong to, and that took me back to my years teaching fashion design and some very special Barbie memories.

I ended up making a video about it. ❤️

I hope you enjoy it!

Apparently, she is STILL offended because I said I didn’t want her. 😂
But that's not exactly what happened.

I thought I was only unboxing a Defa Lucy doll… but somehow I ended up being on trial. 😂

Did you find her little attitude as funny as I did?

The new video is up! 🧵✨

And I have to say, I’m really enjoying the comments because you are noticing the sewing techniques I’m using in this video. ❤️

Even though I’m making clothes for a Smart Doll, the sewing process is still the sewing process! Reading the pattern, matching the pieces, handling curves, finishing seams, solving little problems, and finding ways to get a clean result; all of those techniques are useful whether you’re sewing for a doll or for a person.

So if you enjoy sewing, I think you’ll find something interesting in this one, even if you’re not a doll collector.

And, of course, there’s a little styling at the end too. 😉✨

Come watch **“So, You Wanna Make Clothes for Your Smart Doll? Let’s Do It!”** 💕

❤️ I think I found a doll that was made for me!

I just unboxed Luna Skye from the Mirror Mi collection, and even though I wasn’t planning to get her specifically, she ended up being the one I connected with so well.
and, of course, being a fashion designer, I couldn’t just leave her alone… 😂😂😂. I started designing new clothes for her!
For this video, I even tried something a little bit different: I used Procreate to create three fashion designs for Luna. I created an overall, a school uniform, and pajamas.

Now I need your help choosing which one I should make 🤗

Which design would you choose?

Beautiful! I do alterations for a living,so when I got this ill fitting clothing set, immediately I decided to fix it and tailor it to fit my doll…
Do you like the results?

Sometimes things don’t fit our dolls quite the way we imagined… but that doesn’t mean we have to give up on them. 💕

We can alter them, repurpose them, add to them, take them apart, and turn them into something completely different.

That’s what I love about making doll clothes: **there’s always something we can do.** ✂️🧵

I hope this video inspires you to look at those “almost right” pieces in your collection and see the possibilities instead. 💗
