No Sew Barbie Clothes

When I was a kid I used to LOVE to create doll clothes for my Barbies...they were no sew but they were not as good quality - mostly holes cut into fabric with string to keep the fabric in place made with old clothing.

Now that I am an adult I learned about no sew Barbie clothes such examples include using socks, which I have made a couple of outfits from, but I took it a step further. ;)

While I was grocery shopping today at Walmart, I went into the craft section specifically looking for no sew mending material...now previously I tried super glue but it didnt work as well...so that is why I went to check and found FABRIC GLUE! :D

Very excited because I KNOW fabric glue will work and DID when I made my very first doll dress and doll shorts. (dress pictured on the right, shorts pictured below left).

The BEST part is my daughter is at school and has no idea what I did today, so I am going to surprise her and bring her doll with me to pick her up so she can see what I have done.

Now it is best to use patterns (I didnt) but now I am googling some to use now.  Better to use pattern so you have a fine cut and easier mend on the fabric and glue.

Why NO SEW? Im in the process of getting ready to move and have no space to drag out the sewing machine. Once I have my new home and space I will try sewing. 

I hope during the winter I can learn to knit and crochet Barbie clothes. :D

The greatest thing about making your own doll clothes is you are only limited to your imagination of what you can create. Plus it saves you money on purchasing actual dolls and/or doll clothes (but we still like to do anyway). ;) 

Now Ive never been crafty but I have done a couple of sewing classes but now its nice to know I can be crafty about SOMETHING. :D
