This master class shows simple Barbie doll clothes made from leftover fabric scraps. For a midi dress, cut two rectangles — one for the bodice and one for the skirt — plus narrow trim straps, finish the edges, fit the bodice on the doll, mark darts, gather the skirt to the bodice width, sew the two pieces together, and add a narrow strip of hook-and-loop tape along the side edge. For a bell skirt, cut a narrow waistband and a wider skirt rectangle, gather the skirt with a running stitch, baste on the folded waistband, sew the back seam partway, and leave space for hook-and-loop tape. For simple trousers, choose a non-fraying fabric, fold it in half, cut directly around the doll, baste and sew the two pieces, then finish the top with a wide tie belt.
