I remember bought a Barbie doll when I was in elementary school. I used my own money to buy the doll. It was Beach Blast Barbie (1989) with a blond hair and a hair clip that can change color into pink if you exposed it to the sun. At the same time my sister bought Skipper (Beach Blast Skipper).
I always like played with my barbie. After a while I think my barbie need more clothes. So I start to make a simple clothes made of cotton, jeans and other old material I can found. At that time, I was able to used sewing machine or hand sewing.
Besides clothes, I make barbie's bed. My sister bought pool side chair from some toy seller. It was a quite cheap. I also make Barbie's closet from shoe box.
Beside sewing Barbie dress, I also learn to make crochet dress. One of my late aunt taught me how to crochet. At that time, I have plenty of dress with minimal budget.
I'll make some picture of my old Barbie and the clothes I make if I went back to Jakarta.
