Back in the 1980's it was popular for fabric manufacturers to sell panels of fabric that were designed to be cut out into pillow shapes. And one year I made pumpkin Halloween costumes from panels for my sons too. I was reminded of this recently when I saw a simple Jack-O-Lantern poncho type top for women in LTD Commodities... So I decided it would be fun to create one for Barbie too:@)
And of course it's easy to add a cute headband from a recycled bottle ring,
wrap some pipe cleaners for vines and glue on a leaf or two to mimic the stem.
- Cut a 9" wide circle of fabric (doesn't need to be perfect). This will bring the top down to her wrists. It can be shorter or longer. I used pinking shears.
- Fold circle in half twice into cone shape. Measure down 1/2" from point, draw half circle, cut hole in center just big enough for Barbie's head to fit through. Glue sewing trim around the hole for decoration if desired. I used a string of sequins and Liquid Stitch.
- Create the Jack-O-Lantern face, I used a Sharpie.
- From here, you're basically done. You can continue decorating as desired😎
A few possible sewing trim embellishments:
And I thought it might be fun to make a little baby bunting from a balloon...
Oh my ~gourd~ they're so cute:@) Laying and sitting baby, same balloon.
Cut small hole for opening, draw lines/ridges, tie knot, cut roll off, color stem.
Stretch hole so baby fits inside, fit opening around baby's face.
