I relate to the 1992 controversial 'math class is tough' barbie doll on a spiritual level

i want to collect barbie dolls and plushies again

౨ৎ what if we're all just barbies

being a lone allan supporter before the movie even came out and now seeing people watch barbie and posting about him is wild man i was shouting into the void and now the void is shouting back

First post of my doll. Meet Sabrina, she loves reading books, studying, blogging, photographies, swimming.

It’s officially Barbie month 💖

I don't remember Barbies looking quite like this growing up.

Barbie of Swan Lake

Barbies Rebeldes

Halloween prank call 2023

hannibal barbie parallels

Pink being both of their most iconic colors, both fashionistas impeccably dressed in bespoke intricate shiny patterned clothes

2. They both have/ had sisters

3. Both hold multiple jobs but do them with surprising ease that earns them an incredible amount of societal respect/ jealousy.

4. Blonde

5. Dreamhouse

6. Lavish social circle

7. Has a pet like boyfriend

Hannibals core traits ultimately veer off of Barbie category because he's an archetypical strong independent Working mother and wife and he's groundbreaking for that, for wanting that white picket fence nuclear murder family so badly.

Whereas Barbie was groundbreaking because she'd never have kids or marry ken so this is where their similarities end.

Sewing doll clothes!!

Tights/fishnets!

Tights make any outfit look cool. This is a really easy beginner project. Let’s make some! (I recommend reading through the whole post before starting!!)

Start by finding the doll you want to make tights for and a roll to plastic/cling wrap. (I’m using a Barbie, but you can use any doll!)

Cut a small rectangle, enough that you can wrap this around the doll’s leg and have extra on the side

Get the doll’s leg on the plastic wrap, over to one side. Then, you’re going to fold it over the dolls leg to cover it completely. It should fold like a U, touching but not wrapping around. DO NOT USE THE EXCESS TO WRAP AROUND THE EDGES!!

Move the excess plastic to the back of the leg (this is where the seam will be when we sew)

If it helps you, draw a line where the plastic wrap connects to each other. Cut the plastic where your line is

Take the plastic off the dolls leg and place it on a piece of paper, then trace. It doesn’t have to be perfect, mine is quite lopsided!

Cut your pattern out!

(Sorry for the pattern looking like this lmao) fold your pattern in half, then find the half thats smaller. Make a line like the photo above, and cut! Congrats, You will have a symmetrical pattern for doll tights!!

If something doesn’t make sense, just ask! I’m happy to help :))

Part 2 soon bc I hit the photo limit :)

Tights/fishnets pt.2

Now to sew!

(TW: needles/pins)

Please read the whole post before starting this project!!

First, find your fabric. It HAS to be 4 way stretch, which means you can stretch it up/down and left/right. If it isn’t 4 way stretch, you may not be able to get the tights on your doll.

Grab the pattern you made and you fabric!! If you want to make two tights (a pair) fold your fabric over like the photo. The cut around the pattern, where the dotted lines are in the photo.

Pin you pattern to the rectangle of fabric. Then cut to your pattern shape.

Then you will have these weird shapes!!

Optional: hemming the top of the tights

Take the top of the tights and fold them over, then pin. It should look like in the photo. Then sew over the folded bit of fabric (it might be hard to sew this, so I recommend putting a piece of paper underneath the fabric to help)

Fold your pieces in half and pin on the raw edge

I recommend having a piece of paper underneath your fabric as you’re sewing so you machine doe not eat the fabric. If you are hand sewing, you do not need this paper.

Sew! use 1/8th inch seam allowance while sewing (really close to the edge) do this to both

Rip your tights free! Make sure to get all the paper out of the seam

Pt 3 ! I hit the photo limit again :/

Tights/fishnets pt.3

Finishing the tights!!

Cut all the extra strings on the tights (do this right now before you inside-out the tights)

Inside-out the tights!!

Try the tights on your doll!! Mine could have been shorter and have tighter ankles, but you can change your pattern to fix any of your problems!!

Now your dolls are very stylish!!

Any questions are welcome!! :))

Sewing doll clothes

Tight skirt

A tight skirt pattern!! I recommend reading through the whole post before starting!!

(TW: pins/needles)

You need:

-a doll (I have an ever after high doll)

-Knit/jersey fabric (any 4 way stretch fabric)

-paper

-marker/pen/pencil

-sewing machine (with thread!!)

-scissors

-pins

First, grab your doll!! I have an ever after high doll, but this works for any doll. Then, draw around your dolls hips just like in the picture. You can then make you skirt any length you want

Move your doll away, and add 1/8th” seam allowance to the top and bottom of the pattern

Cut your pattern out!!!

Find your fabric!! It needs to stretch up and down and left to right!! Jersey/knit/spandex is good

Fold your fabric over and pin your pattern to your fabric

Cut your fabric and you will have 2 pieces!

Next, take the top of one of the pieces and fold the fabric over a bit (look at the picture above)

Then pin. Do that to the bottom and the second piece of fabric too (hopefully it will look like the photo)

Use paper under your sewing so your pieces don’t get eaten by the sewing machine!!

Sew!! Sew both the top and bottom folded parts on both pieces!!

Pt. 2 !! Hit the photo limit :((

If something doesn’t make sense, ask!!

Sewing doll clothes

Tight skirt pt.2

Tight skirt! You will NEED to read the first post to understand this one! As always, read the whole post before you start!!

Rip your pieces out of the paper!!

Now, match the top and bottom together, putting the two “pretty” sides together (the sides that are hemmed and nice) and pin them together

Sew the two sides in the photo (un-hemmed sides)

Rip the skirt from the paper and trim all excess threads

Then inside-out the skirt!!

Now you have a skirt!!

Questions welcome!! Enjoy :)))

found the Skipper doll i had as a kid at Goodwill and fixed her up! her lipstick was coming off so i gave her vampire fangs

not to burst anyone's fucking bubble, but people really need to understand that the barbie movie is a fucking toy advert, and NOT a way to 'prove' that the doll was a feminist icon that was misunderstood. barbie did serious fucking damage to children's psyche and promoted unhealthy habits.

i love that movie, and i love it more for irritating right wing incels, but mattel produced this movie and you should take the message with at least a grain of salt.
