Greetings friends who love yarn and needles, have a great week with your loved ones, I am happy to share my entry to the NeedleWork Your Barbie Contest! - 2024 Edition it's the first time I participate in this nice contest and also make an outfit for Barbie, I appreciate the invitation of @needleworkmonday and @mayifiestas; the experience was fun and a little difficult at first, I regularly sew baby clothes and in fact I love it, they are my favorite projects, this time taking the measurements to the doll and realize the ideas I had took more time than I imagined.
I looked in my patchwork bag and found several fabrics with floral motifs and chose four, then the dilemma was which one to use, in the end I decided on the purple background and started to make the outfit, without a specific pattern I was developing the ideas and discarding the one I didn't like, the design consists of a pink top and a wide floral skirt with several layers.
Saludos amigos amantes de los hilos y las agujas que tengan una excelente semana en uniΓ³n de sus seres queridos, me siento feliz de compartir mi entrada al NeedleWork Your Barbie Contest! - 2024 Edition, es la primera vez que participo en este lindo concurso y ademΓ‘s realizo un atuendo para Barbie, agradezco la invitaciΓ³n de @needleworkmonday y @mayifiestas; la experiencia fue divertida y un tanto difΓcil al principio, regularmente coso ropa para bebΓ©s y de hecho me encanta, son mis proyectos favoritos, en esta ocasiΓ³n el tomar las medidas a la muΓ±eca y concretar la ideas que tenia tomΓ³ mΓ‘s tiempo del que imaginΓ©.
BusquΓ© en mi bolsa de retazos y encontrΓ© varias telas con motivos florales y elegΓ cuatro, luego el dilema era cual usar, al final me decidΓ por la de fondo morado e iniciΓ© a confeccionar el atuendo, sin un patrΓ³n especΓfico iba desarrollando las ideas y descartando la que no me gustaba, el diseΓ±o consiste en un top rosa y una falda ancha floreada de varias capas

Elaboration
To make the skirt I cut six circles of different sizes and decorated with tape on the edges, at this point I had a little difficulty because the tape is very rigid and gluing it in curves is complicated because it has no elongation, also I think the needle I used was not the right one, I unpicked several times the tape and in the last three circles I glued bias, for its elasticity is more comfortable and faster to work.
ElaboraciΓ³n
Para hacer la falda cortΓ© seis cΓrculos de diferentes tamaΓ±os y decorΓ© con cinta en los bordes, en este punto tuve un poco de dificultad porque la cinta es muy rΓgida y pegarla en curvas se complica ya que no tiene elongaciΓ³n, ademΓ‘s creo que la aguja que usΓ© no era la adecuada, descosΓ varias veces la cinta y en los tres ΓΊltimos cΓrculos peguΓ© sesgo, por su elasticidad se trabaja mΓ‘s cΓ³modo y rΓ‘pido
Then I organized the circles from smallest to largest, pinned them and cut a circle in the center to make the waistband of the skirt, then I sewed a three centimeters white elastic that will serve as waistband; while sewing I remembered my childhood and the dolls I had, which brought their clothes on a paper poster, it was fun to cut them out and dress the dolls with their fashionable outfits.
Luego organicΓ© los cΓrculos de menor a mayor, sujetΓ© con alfileres y cortΓ© un cΓrculo en el centro para hacer la cintura de la falda, luego cosΓ un elΓ‘stico blanco de tres centΓmetros que servirΓ‘ de pretina; mientras cosΓa recordaba mi infancia y las muΓ±ecas que tuve, las cuales traΓan su ropa en un afiche de papel, era divertido recortarlas y vestir a las muΓ±ecas con sus atuendos fashion.
Sewing the top was easier, I closed the rectangle with straight stitch, then I sewed lace on the sleeves and neck, to decorate I added pink and purple beads; making small clothes for dolls like Barbie require patience and dedication, plus sewing slow when using the machine, I consider that I need more practice in small clothes and also patience heh, heh.
Coser el top fue mΓ‘s sencillo, cerrΓ© el rectΓ‘ngulo con puntada recta, luego cosΓ encaje en la mangas y cuello, para decorar agreguΓ© cuentas rosa y morada; hacer la ropa pequeΓ±a para muΓ±ecas como Barbie requieren paciencia y dedicaciΓ³n, ademΓ‘s coser pausado cuando se usa la mΓ‘quina, considero que necesito mΓ‘s prΓ‘ctica en las ropas pequeΓ±as y tambiΓ©n paciencia je, je .
Dressing Barbie was very exciting and a learning experience, despite the difficulties in sewing the ribbons, I liked the result, the doll looks beautiful and elegant.
Vestir a Barbie fue muy emocionante y una experiencia llena de aprendizaje, a pesar de las dificultades en la costura de las cintas, el resultado me gustΓ³, la muΓ±eca se ve guapa y elegante.
Hasta luego!
