BARBIE SES LOST


Poor Barbie SES doll she disappeared in the mail. Bad Lesson learnt that you must register mail seems to me that someone had taken it or it fell somewhere and no-one is looking!!! Such despair, its not the money I told the client I would gladly refund the money with no regrets! But he saw the doll he was giving to his girlfriend for a birthday present....At first I just couldn't do it but then I slowly, so slowly picked up the pattern and started to draw it out going step by step putting the striping on (reflector tape) then the pockets aligning them here and there....I was so so lucky to be able to buy another doll I actually went grocery shopping and I saw the same doll. I went back as soon as three weeks had passed and not a word. I couldn't find it, then out the back they found the only one dark haired doll left!! I hand sewed the badges all on large one the front pocket, one on each sleeve and the large SES on the back I made buttons and loops with thread closing the pocket flaps. Miniature work or small is very hard and takes up so much time. I put the velcro to the front closing it up so that it sat right with the colar. Once I was pleased with the results I had to sew up one side opening to sew the pocket on the leg seams near the knee up. then I could sew the whole lot up neatening the seams so it wouldn't fray.

At last the suit was finished!

With this doll I did score a pair of sunglasses I thought was appropriate to hold the cap on which I made to look complete. Then the flag as ordered......Now the doll is finally finished. I forgot to add she has underwear on as well......



                                   FINALLY SHES FINISHED! as ordered....
The side pocket on the right leg as well like the picture he had sent for me to copy or get an idea.....
