Hola querido visitante 🪡🧵./Hello dear visitor 🪡🧵
It's a pleasure to greet you all. I hope you're having an amazing week. I've been quite busy these days reorganizing my ideas, so much so that I only have time to share the occasional sewing project with you when I'm in bed, when I'm more relaxed and a little rested. I want to keep up the habit, and when you're able to read this, I know you'll do so with pleasure and take a little moment to admire each piece I make for you with love, time, and dedication.
I want to show you how I made a velvet dress for my Barbie, using a picture of a Korean velvet dress I saw on Pinterest as a reference. I really liked it and used it as a reference because I actually want to make one for myself. So I made a sketch and cut the pieces to fit my Barbie. I plan to make one exactly like the model, though not in terms of color. I really love red and burgundy velvet, but when I went to the fabric store, unfortunately, they didn't have those colors, only some more opaque ones. So I thought I'd make one in a matte burgundy color. I definitely liked the design, and I've been practicing with my Barbie. Now I know how to cut large pieces in my size and follow the pattern. Without further ado, here are the steps.

Paso 01
Step 01
Okay friends, at the beginning I mentioned that I saw this model on Pinterest while looking for ideas to make the dress I want for a special meeting. I really liked this semi-fitted dress with a side slit and a square neckline with long sleeves. In this case, for my Barbie, it wasn't necessary to make patterns because I simply took a ribbon and the measurements I had and made the dress. Using patterns would have made it more difficult, so I simply marked it directly onto the fabric with tailor's chalk and cut out all the pieces: the top back piece and the side slit for the skirt.
Paso 02
Step 02
In the next step after cutting out the pieces from the velvet fabric, we will place the pieces on top of the piece of satin fabric and cut out the pieces of what will be our lining inside the dress. We always use pins to prevent the lining from rolling up on the outer top part.
Paso 03
Step 03
We proceed to sew what would be the inner part of the lining with the blouse or velvet piece. This step is important, so we have a lot of patience when sewing the edges. Then we sew the open part of our sleeves with the armhole and also sew along the edge, joining our sleeves well. Up to this point, we can put the blouse on my Barbie to see how we are doing.

Step 04
As a final step, it's time to sew the skirt, but first, we locate the lining and sew it inside out to turn it right side out. We sew it next to the bodice of the dress, and to give it a much more elegant and beautiful touch, I've used a silver ribbon. We'll sew this all around the edge of the neckline and the outer front of the dress at the waist. We use clear nylon to prevent the thread from showing. With that, we're finished, and it's time to show you the result! 😉

This dress looks so pretty on our Barbie! I hope and aspire that it will look just as beautiful on me. I really enjoyed making this piece. Knowing that I've practiced a bit with this dress for my Barbie makes me happy because I'll soon be making one for myself. If you liked it, please feel free to share it. Greetings, friends! That's all for this lovely evening. I wish you a happy and restful sleep. See you soon! 🥰
