So here is one of my latest discoveries -
You can get the patterns here: http://crissyandbeth.com/Sew.html
another discovery is that Simplicity must have sold 2 different versions of each pattern...
I had bought one one Ebay to dress Crissy when I got her...but just now discovered that I had bought the 15 1/2" version when I should have hunted down the 17 1/2" for Crissy...no wonder that dress was so short...but the bodice fit!
so now I print some pattern pieces and try to fix Velvet up as she is still naked. Mia came in an ill fitting dress and could probable also use a new outfit...now that I have the size differences figured out I may be able to make the right dress for the right doll and get on with it.
I sat up way too late last night watching Outlander and trying to figure out how to make a Jamie and Claire Barbie....I have some patterns...but not exactly what I want to do yet and I'm not so good at adlibbing an existing pattern into something else....
searching the web I find loads of AG patterns and BJD patterns...but not so many Barbie...
so....I keep studying on ebay...I got these two off ebay together for $8.95 after shipping
I also found these for about the same price but haven't received them yet...the second one I would not have chosen, but since it was in a lot of 2 for a cheap price maybe I'll mess with it sometime:
I'm sure sometime I'll find just the thing...but not yet!!
I'm trying to do this - just the girl for now - I figure I'll have to use Barbie because there would be no Jamie if I used AG - I don't want to try to turn one of my American Girls into a Boy - I'd probably mess it up:
I still haven't found just the pattern I want to use....but I'll mess around with the ones I have until something better comes along!
