Well, the title just about says it all, doesn’t it? A little over a week ago, I modeled my design in Design for a Cure. As you may remember, I designed and made the dress myself, with the help of my Mom and Grace! I hand beaded the bodice; it took me almost 6 weeks! The [...]

I’m sitting here at the dining room table typing as my mom helps me sew a tricky part of my Design for a Cure design. She is an expert seamstress, and I appealed to her expertise to get me through this stage. The competition is this Tuesday, and my dress is almost complete! We’re making a [...]

Well, although it has been several weeks since I last posted, Grace and I are still here and sewing! Unfortunately for the Barbie pageant world, school has started, and I’m busy going back and forth to classes at college, not to mention all the homework! We had initially planned to finish Miss Merry [...]

Still Progressing on Miss Merry Melody

Despite the fact that I haven't blogged recently, Grace and I are progressing on Miss Merry Melody! This week, classes started, and I have been busy getting my schedule figured out. However, this weekend, I started my next design. I had finished my first design, for "Little April Shower," and now I'm almost done with entry #2. Although I still have at least six designs still to complete, I am glad I am at least making some progress.

Sewing & the Mp3

girls — Fri, 14 Aug 2009 16:53:20 +0000

When Rachel and I first started barbie pageants we would silently and dutifully sew for the Barbies ( or laugh and giggle which was more likely) it could be pretty boring. For Christmas last year I received a mp3, and speakers to go with it. It opened a new door for us, we could listen to our favorite songs and [...]

Recently, Grace and I received a question about how we judge Barbie pageants. I gave a quick description of our judging methods when I answered the question, but I thought the topic merited its own post. After all, when we talk about the judging, we just kind of gloss over the whole thing. If I [...]
