Hello hello creative and creative needles...

Today I want to tell you about my experience dressing my Barbie, inspired by the 80s...

In this case, choose the Menudo group, a youth group from the 80s, which was all the rage in the youth, for children and adolescents, with catchy songs and dances, as well as colorful, bright and tight clothing.

And the time I was one of those little girls singing. Dancing and even crying over their videos and concerts and in love with one of the boys.

I watched them on TV, I didn't miss any of their miniseries, and I also collected everything they put out with their names and photos...

Like any girl of the time, I loved that group....

So motivated by my history with them then. I decided to dress my Barbi with something similar to them....

Sacrifice for her making a fuchsia bathing suit with a lot of shine.... And with that you make her a tight panty....

Of course, before making a mini pattern so that it will look great on you.

Then I made him a leather jacket with fringes, it looks great.

This Barbie is super elegant with her long hair and braids... I made her a garter headband.

I left her her original boots...

So she is a beautiful doll, she took me to the most glorious time of my life... I remembered songs and some other steps from that time....

Do you remember an anecdote with the Menudo group... They were international from Puerto Rico to the world, so you must have known them or learned of their presence in history.

Even now, time has passed every now and then, they meet and return with their dances and songs, they are the sensation.....

Thank you for accompanying me up to here see you in my next project, sewing.....
