- Bringing Back Handmade Barbie Clothes
[Home-and-Family:Crafts-Hobbies] Remember playing with dolls when you were a child? If you were like me, you had a Barbie doll or two in your toy box. Did you have handmade doll clothes that your mother, aunt, or grandmother made for you?
- Home Sewing - A Forgotten Pastime
[Home-and-Family:Crafts-Hobbies] There was a time in the world when mom or grandma would make their children's school clothes, repair garments by hand, and make stuffed animals and gifts for the neighbors. Children arrived on the first day of school wearing a new handmade dress or uniform. Their fashion dolls were dressed in clothing made of the same fabrics and stuffed animals were created from remnants or socks. Fast forward to the 21st century where most people's clothing, home decor items, and gifts are purchased at the local mall or department store.
