Dress Barbie: Simple Doll Clothes Ideas
BeginnerFreeThis 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 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.

DIY Air-Dry Modeling Clay
BeginnerFreeThis master class shows how to make air-dry modeling clay as an alternative to polymer clay. The mixture uses starch, Titan glue, and baby oil. Add glue to a mound of starch: about 2 tablespoons of glue per 100 g of starch. The proportions are approximate, so add more starch until the mixture becomes a firm dough that pulls away from your hands. Add 2–3 teaspoons of baby oil to the nearly finished mixture and knead again; the oil makes the clay softer, more flexible, and easier to use for small details. Uncolored clay stays slightly translucent when rolled thin, so add white pigment or colored paints for a denser color. Thin pieces harden in about 30 minutes, while larger figures need at least a day to dry. After drying, the pieces are not brittle and keep a useful amount of flexibility.
