Needlework Your Barbie Contest!

^{photo credit: @crosheille}

It’s back by popular demand! Go and grab your Barbie because it’s time for another needlework fashion session!

Needleworĸ Yoυr Bαrвιe!

Last year we challenged you to make your Barbie a new outfit, accessories or necessities and it turned into regular fun with some of our members. We’ve seen several fun Barbie outfits worked up throughout the year.

For this contest you can crochet a sweater or dress, sew an overnight bag, cross-stitch a design and make it her next blanket, embroider one of her current shirts to make it pop, knit her Winter socks, create the ultimate lace holiday outfit with all of the shajazz - the ideas are Eη∂ℓєѕѕ!

It doesn’t have to be Barbie, it could also be for Ken!

Don’t have a Barbie?...it’s okay. As long as it’s a Barbie sized doll. Don’t have any doll?...that’s okay too. Although it would be great to see your creations on an actual doll we will accept you showing just the items you make. I suggest you be creative on how you display them if you have no doll to help model them. Presentation is key here! 😉

Show the process of your work if you wish. We are not requiring process photos but will be judging on the final product you present. I encourage you to share as much as possible (backstory, reasons for making this particular item, fictional fun, the level of difficulty it was, your final thoughts about your work etc.)

Rυleѕ:

1. All items you make for Barbie must involve needlework. We will also accept any form of fiber arts that deal with knotting, braiding, felting, lacing or any form of manipulation of fabrics and yarns. You can even combine different needlework techniques together.

2. You must make needlework items for Barbie, Ken or any Barbie sized doll male or female. You do not have to have an actual doll to show but please make sure your items are small enough (Google and Pinterest can give you size equivalence).

3. You can make clothing pieces, accessories and necessities (see ideas above).

4. You are allowed to use patterns but please be sure to credit the source in your post. Add your signature touch to make it your own :)

5. Only one entry per entrant is allowed!

6. Must post your entry directly to the NeedleWorkMonday Community!

7. Must leave a link to your contest entry below in the comments so we won’t miss it!
