Lexibook Barbie Sewing Machine

Product Information

You can teach them how to use this equipment by attaching a few easy on and off instructional videos. Last time it was more about the patterns and this time I have prepared a tutorial on how to sew tiny clothes. First, sew one edge of the waistband, right sides together, at the waistline of the skirt, matching the c-front with the center of the waistband ( 2. Well, it’s possible to do, but extremely fiddly: you’d have to attach the sleeves only to the outer layer, then fold the seam allowance of the lining layer inside, (covering the seams) and hand stitch in place.

Set contains: Barbie Sewing Machine, Barbie, thread bobbins, 1x needle, 1x threader, pedal, pattern sheets, fabric sheets, velcro, instructions. The skirt patterns I created have a small overlapping bit at the upper part of the c-back seam where the skirt will remain open. This barbie sewing machine is a great tool in teaching kids how to be independent and self sufficient. Once the sleeves are attached, trim off excess seam allowance as usual, and then you can close the side seams and sleeve seams.When making doll clothes, balloon, and other puff sleeves will add that extra cuteness to the dresses! I’m going to teach my 9 year old great granddaughter how to sew and what better place to begin than with sewing cloths for her Barbies? But if you need more than that, you can always trim off excess seam allowance after having sewn the seam. Using the pattern pieces included, create a variety of outfits and accessories for Barbie before she hits the runway.

I find it easier to sew with the bodice side on top, which is the opposite of what you would do with human clothes. Kids will enjoy all of the things that come with this barbie and will certainly have a lot of fun with the sewing and the pattern cutting. Before you get started you can personalise your sewing machine using the stickers included in the box. Just choose from the selection of fabrics provided and you are ready to create your own Barbie design. This also makes learning about sewing and all of the machinery that goes along with it a fun and educational experience for your little girl or boy.It comes complete with a variety of projects including a pillow, a toy bag and even a patchwork bedspread. The amount of fun they have with the barbie won’t wane as they begin to grow older and begin to realize that the real world doesn’t revolve around barbie and that they have to go out into it to find a job.

With just a few simple lessons learned each day, this could very well become their new favorite pastime instead of playing video games or engaging in television. The main idea here is to not close the skirt into a tubular shape before it’s almost done, because it’s much easier to work with that way. Whether they are looking for a car, a doll or even a home based business this machine will keep the children engaged for hours on end. However, a bit of stretch makes it easier to attach the sleeves, so you might want to consider woven materials with some added stretch for the bodice (and sleeves). You can do a variety of embroidery, back-stitching, cross-stitch, crochet, quilting, straight stitching and even some advanced techniques such as seed stitching.All of these projects come with sewing instructions for you to follow along as you handcraft these fun projects. In this case it’s easiest to attach the facing before the side panels, as this way the bodice will lay flat. Then pin the two layers together along the c-back seams and the neckline (right sides together of course), and stitch. The built-in, step-by-step guide helps you with the process of sewing, making your beautiful creations and gives you tips on how to save time and money. If the sleeves don’t have any gathers or hemming to be done, you can just pin them to the armholes, matching the notches and the shoulder seam.
