Hello friends! Today I wanted to share with you a a few images I found from a site I discovered recently called Quality Vintage Doll Patterns. They sell patterns and accessories, along with lovely images from doll patterns!
I love vintage Barbie doll patterns!!! They are so pretty and the images would make lovely tags!
I love when I find a collection of old handmade doll clothes. I can only imagine someone's mother taking the time to add small details to create Barbie's wardrobe.
This collection reminds me of some of my favorite Barbie dress styles!
I love these American Girl style doll images!
I hope you enjoy these pretty images!
Have a great day, Lindsey

Lindsey,
Have you ever tried to make these clothes??? I always thought these looked so hard, especially the snaps! I remember having some handmade Barbie clothes, but it wasn't my Mom that made them....she didn't sew....now that I think about it, I wonder where I got them???? See you always get me thinking about when I was a little girl! :)
My Gran used to make dolls clothes for my Sindy (UK equivalant of Barbie in the 70's) she sewed some and knitted some..I just took them for granted,but now I realise what time,effort and love must have gone into making them for me!
Have a lovely day

My great aunt made me some Barbie clothes...she was a professional seamstrees, and said making the doll's clothes was harder than anything else she had ever made. Oh how I love Barbie, especially my first.
Hugs, Kathleen
I thought I'd seen just about every Barbie pattern, but all of these are new to me. (My mom always favored Simplicity and McCall's over Butterick; that's probably why!) These are just wonderful!
Hi Lindsey,
I always look forward to Barbie Wednesday. I always thought I was so lacking in Barbie stuff, but visiting your blog makes me realize that it might have been true in my youngest years, but I definately made up for it in my older years. So, I've always had a love affair with Barbie, but my true passion for them came out as I got older, and I have been able to feed that passion. Thank you again for sharing.
Hugs,
Meri
I used to make Barbie Doll outfits for my DD by the truckload..... I sold all the patterns on Ebay several years ago!!
Just as well.....Too fussy for me now!! LOL!!
Love,
Marilyn

Years ago I made a ton of Barbie clothes to sell at my craft shows. They can be very tricky to work on, being so small.
I love the patterns. The image style is very different from others I've seen. Thanks for sharing!
Hi girls, have you see the new plastic collection launched on the Barbie website? A lil out of our thrifty purses league I think but well worth looking at. There's also a link to a Barbie store in Shanghi complete with Spa!!!

How amazing! I was thinking about Barbie patterns when I woke up this morning. I have some pretty fabric that would make a cute sun dress and I was wondering...how hard could it be! heehee! I may give it a try after seeing one on the cover of your pattern. When I was growing up, my aunt made Barbie clothes! ♥
I loved seeing these patterns! They are SO fabulous! I'd never have the patience for the tiny details - but I do enjoy looking at all of the great vintage images. Thank you for sharing them, Lindsey!
Thank you for posting this link, it made my day! As a child, my best bud was "Pinky," a Dixie the Pixie Whimsie/American Character doll (--> HERE is an online image of her.) my dear Knuckle Matt gave me and I renamed. She remains a close friend. How wonderful that through your link, I've been able to locate clothing patterns for her! Boy, oh, boy! If it weren't for you and Barbie-- Many thanks!
I finally just got out my barbie dolls. Got them all cleaned up, clothes washed and pressed and they are ready for their photo shoot. I can't wait to join you next week with my barbies. I always enjoy looking at your stuff.
Hi Lindsey! Love these!! I've sewed a few outfits, and crocheted even more, ever since I was a young girl! I hope, God willing, I'll get to make some for granddaughters someday! ~tina
Love all things Barbie! Since you share so many wonderful things, I just shared an old pattern image on my blog for you. :)
