Vintage Barbie Cut and Sew fabric panel. This one had me laughing. Not one true seam. No pocket placement and the bust darts are off by half an inch. A little one playing with the outfit wouldn’t care one bit. An adult would spot it. Gotta love vintage.

Now that they are here, I can shout it to the world. 49 used Barbie patterns for $40! Too wonderful to pass up. One by Brooke Shields, one that’s maybe Carol Brady, and one that looks like Charlie’s Angels. Didn’t know that was a thing.

Barbie underwear pattern- McCall’s 6420. Illogical instructions. Sew 6 1/2” of elastic to entire bottom seam. No wonder Barbie goes commando. Tossed instructions- made it 6 inches divided by two. I’d remove 1/4” crotch to waist length so they sit on her true waist. But that’s for next time.
