I took this photo at the Heinz History Center in March 2016. The canister is from c.1962. There are a couple of these old canisters at eBay or Etsy.I found this photo in the archives tonight. The kit could make a “fitted coat and a pillbox hat”.
I’ve knit basic tube dresses for my granddaughter’s Barbies, using leftover sock yarn but I’d like to see what the fitted coat looked like.
If you made all Barbie’s clothes they’d have to call her Hot Barbie! dc
Why would I not think you would knit Barbie clothes?
Cool dress!
Thanks Kristin
That is epic!
Thanks Sue
I did have some knitting books for Barbie clothing a long time a go. Maybe in the late 70″s.
I just did a few simple tube dresses. Nothing intricate. I think it’s a fun project though.
I sewed some clothes for my daughter’s Barbie. They were not fun to make as they were so tiny. I was glad when cabbage patch dolls came around. Much easier to sew things for. I love the knitted dress. Why didn’t I think of that!
Thanks for sharing your doll clothes creating for your daughters dolls.
love this Ruth
Thanks Sylvia
One day you will have to show me how you knit round things….
