NEEDLEWORK - ALESHA DRESS UP

DESIGNED WITH CANVA

Hello everyone. Welcome to another exciting contest in the needlework community. Thanks to @crosheille for this opportunity. This week’s contest is about dressing up your barbie. Although I was excited about this contest, I wasn’t exactly sure what I would do, since I have never worked with a barbie before.

I decided to start with the easiest and most important thing on the list, which is getting a barbie. Getting the barbie was the easy part, making the dress was a little difficult. This is my first time making tiny crochet wear.

The first thing I did was to decide what I wanted to make. My first thought was a ball gown because who doesn’t love to see Barbie in a beautiful ball gown, but then I told myself “slow down”. This is your first trial so don’t start what you can’t finish.

I decided to go with a regular gown but I chose red to make a bold statement. I was going for a simple yet classy look for the first outfit. Making the dress was easier than I thought, although it felt weird working with a really small size and a really small hook. It was an exciting first-time experience.

After making the dress, I decided to make lace socks. I went with the colour yellow and I have absolutely no idea why I chose yellow. It felt like the right combination at the time and I do not regret choosing yellow.

Since it's a tube gown, there was no need to do anything for the hand but after taking the pictures I felt the hands were too bare, so I made something for the hand of my Barbie, whose name is Alesha by the way. After adding the hand I was okay with the simple yet classy look.

It was time to move on to the next outfit, which is a regular casual outfit. I also made a simple straight skirt and a tube top also. Basically, I chose the tube because it’s easier to make on Alesha. I am not yet familiar with making tiny clothes, so I opted for the easiest thing to make. I hope you like both outfits.
