About this deal

In this case it’s easiest to attach the facing before the side panels, as this way the bodice will lay flat. You may want to finish the seam allowance with zig-zag stitches after having attached the cuff, as it will fray easily when dressing the doll. To my surprise, those articles have become rather popular and since then I’ve received several requests to create more tutorials! There are two sets actually, one will fit the 80’s/90’s type of doll, and the other one is for the 2000’s version. This barbie sewing machine is a great tool in teaching kids how to be independent and self sufficient.

She’s been making them cloths out of odd socks forever and I must say some of them are cute but most of them look like a sack. When you have a child who is just beginning to learn how to sew, why not take them to the sewing machine yourself? Now that you have both a bodice and the skirt prepared, you can finally attach them at the waistline to complete the dress. Children love being able to make something that they alone made using their own two hands and the barbie sewing machine is the perfect way to teach them this kind of skill. The lining will create a neat edge both for the neckline and the c-back, which means it’s actually quite a convenient option.However, a bit of stretch makes it easier to attach the sleeves, so you might want to consider woven materials with some added stretch for the bodice (and sleeves). Personalise your sewing machine using the included Barbie stickers, then let out your inner fashion designer. The barbie sewing machine comes complete with a chart that helps you easily see the different stitches and fabrics you will need to use.

You are never too young or too old to enjoy being a Barbie doll and the sewing machine is a must have for the fashionista in you! With just a few simple lessons learned each day, this could very well become their new favorite pastime instead of playing video games or engaging in television. They will learn that they can do something for themselves and that they can help to make things better by sewing them together. I find it easier to sew with the bodice side on top, which is the opposite of what you would do with human clothes.The main idea here is to not close the skirt into a tubular shape before it’s almost done, because it’s much easier to work with that way. This also makes learning about sewing and all of the machinery that goes along with it a fun and educational experience for your little girl or boy. The machine comes fully equipped with 2 speeds, a foot pedal, a thread cutter and a built in sewing light. The built-in, step-by-step guide helps you with the process of sewing, making your beautiful creations and gives you tips on how to save time and money. Well, it’s possible to do, but extremely fiddly: you’d have to attach the sleeves only to the outer layer, then fold the seam allowance of the lining layer inside, (covering the seams) and hand stitch in place.

I’m going to teach my 9 year old great granddaughter how to sew and what better place to begin than with sewing cloths for her Barbies?I made some tests and found that knit materials create more bulk and are challenging to work with at a tiny scale. Set contains: Barbie Sewing Machine, Barbie, thread bobbins, 1x needle, 1x threader, pedal, pattern sheets, fabric sheets, velcro, instructions.

You can first pin the sleeve at the shoulder line, and then gather one side at a time to match the armhole. If the sleeves don’t have any gathers or hemming to be done, you can just pin them to the armholes, matching the notches and the shoulder seam. The skirt patterns I created have a small overlapping bit at the upper part of the c-back seam where the skirt will remain open.

If you’ve already sewn tiny clothes, you might have noticed that the sewing machine tends to eat your fabric at the beginning of the seams. Before you get started you can personalise your sewing machine using the stickers included in the box.
