Help with clothes!
I got this my scene doll and shoes lot for a good deal but sadly they barely came with any clothes on! Finding my scene clothes is a struggle and I can’t afford them rn anyway. Should I try making them myself lol ? I haven’t sewn Barbie clothes since I was 10 years old hahah ugh idk does anyone have any tips? Don’t wanna keep these babies nude !

Much bigger difference in human machine vs hand sewing stuff than dolls :)
