DIY Gift: Barbie Sewing Studio

For the little seamstress...
Supplies: Binder,  adhesive, scrapbook paper/items, scrap fabric, accessories.


Christmas is my favorite time to make gifts for my loved ones. Being a mother of boys, I always go all-out-girly for the little gal in my life, my niece. I have made her plenty of special things to wear and decided I wanted to completely surprise her. She LOVES Barbie, so what better gift from her designer auntie then a sewing studio?


Complete with a sewing machine that was mine when I was little, mini dress form, a couple handmade outfits...


Little inspiration boards...and furniture. 


The outside...


This project was way too much fun...I sewed the fabric right on the paper.


I used images from magazines as the photos and the frames were a scrap paper set.  I applied everything with a hot glue gun and permanent spray adhesive.

    This reminds me of a beauty salon my friend's older sister made me for my Barbie when I was really young. It wasn't as detailed and structured as this but it was still impressive, especially for her as she was a teenager at the time. Wish I kept it!

    Sudah pasti jika ingin mudah dalam menjalankan permainan judi online jenis apapun, maka anda harus memanfaatkan adanya panduan bermain poker sehingga membantu kemudahan. Bahkan dengan kehadiran media yang mempermudah untuk bermain, maka banyak pemain yang bisa menggali begitu banyak informasi-informasi penting termasuk referral pokerclub88 yang mereka butuhkan selama memainkan permainan judi poker online. Dan di permainan poker online inilah kamu dapat mendapati pengganti pada melakukan call yg menuruti taruhan, raise bagi menaikkan taruhan dan fold seandainya anda memiliki card buruk dan ingin mogok faktor itu terserah semenjak para pemain mau jalankan yg mana dalam memainkannya.
