You all know that Jaslene loves announcing the Barbie contest. She especially loved announcing this time that it is officially our annual contest!!
That’s right community! This has been the most loved, popular and asked for contest we have ever had in our needlework community. Every year multiple people ask if we will run it again. Well now you know the answer is yes and it will be ran αηηυαℓℓу. 😆🎉
Needleworĸ Yoυr Bαrвιe Cαreer
The same thing goes as every year we’ve done this but we’d like to add a little spin on this challenge. You are free to make her the usual pieces like a new dress, sweater outfit, shirt and shorts, a fancy outing getup along with any accessories you choose etc. but the added spin would be giving your Barbie a career with your needlework.
We’d love to see a chemist Barbie with a lab coat, a Veterinarian with a stethoscope surrounded by tiny amigurumi animals, a Sports Barbie showing off her sporty gear, a Chef with her hat and coat along with some stitched up goodies to eat or even a Salsa Dance Instructor with a sizzling 🔥 outfit. As always the possibilities are endless.
Remember it doesn’t have to be for Barbie, but 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 with 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 and presentation 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.)
If you need some motivation or a reminder as to what we are looking for when reading your posts and contest submissions please read Oh, Just Another Tutorial.
Rυleѕ:
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.
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).
We are challenging you to make Barbie a career with your needlework but feel free to only make regular clothing pieces, accessories and necessities 👌🏽. We will still judge based on the same criteria which means making her a career will not better your chances of winning.
You are allowed to use patterns but please be sure to credit the source in your post and add your signature touch to make it your own!
Only one entry per entrant is allowed! Please submit your very best work as you only have one chance at winning.
Must post your entry directly to the NeedleWorkMonday Community!

Omg, this excited me a lot, my little inner child is so happy. Thanks a lot.
Yay!! So happy you're excited! Have fun with your inner child 😃!!
Wow! Very excited about this year's contest and the theme of careers... I'm sure there will be many beautiful outfits ❤️. Our Needle Work Members are GREAT!
It is very exciting!! True indeed our members are so great!!! I'm so amped to see this year's lineup!! 🤩
@Taskmaster4450 is probably your biggest fan, constantly talking about weaving but I think he's just lost track that your community is about needlework overall.
Lol! Well when he's ready to try some actual needlework we'll be here. 😄

I love this challenge... As much as I love dressing up my daughter's Barbies 😍.
😃😍 That's awesome @ayleenr! Can't wait to see what you stitch up!! 🤩
In the month of November I wanted to order it 😀 I missed a Barbie dress up contest. now it will be our contest cancels! Nice one... Excellent opportunity to create beautiful designs 😄 I love it 😍.
I'm glad we get to see this every year now. There will be so many beautiful designs created for sure!!
Sure it is because we are now more committed members 🙋🥳🏃😍😄🙏😊👋🎊🤗.
😍🥰🤗😘☺️🎈💞
Hmm, a tempting contest again. I hav'nt crochet for a long time but I think this will tickle my fingers again to hold the crochet hook.
Go ahead and grab that hook!! 😃😉😄

Wow what a thrill, Barbie was my favorite doll when I was a child, now I will remember those wonderful times again making creations for my daughters' Barbie 🥰 and sharing in this great community ❤️, successes for all 🤗
I hope you have a wonderful time reminiscing while creating! ☺️🤗
Woah, this is amazing, I will join on this one, but my dummies are bigger than barbie o
So glad you like this one! However, the sizing does matter as only Barbie sized items will be qualified for this one. Please read over the rules before entering. 😉
Hey @tibaire see you here, performing beauties!🤗
Wow I need a barbie!!!!
This contest looks great!
I have a Barbie and would like to participate. The only question I have, is in regards to accessories other than clothes. For example, if it is a medical Barbie, the stethoscope I would make, could I make it in moldable foami?
Yay!! So happy you're going to join! 😃
Of course! As long as the main attire is needlework you can use other craft items for your presentation. You can even use real Barbie items that go along with your needlework showcase! 😍
Very good question! Thanks so much for asking ~
Excellent, I am looking for the fabric scraps, needle, thread and everything needed! ✨🌼✨
Awesome!!! 🪡🧵😍
Awesome! I am waiting for this for a long time now. And now that it is officially running every year, makes me feel very excited. I even bought a new doll last year that I wasn't able to dress until now since I'm waiting for this specific contest. 😅
Good luck to everyone. And let's make this contest fun, exciting, creative, and colorful. LET'S GO.😀
Hahaha!! I know you have been waiting awhile my friend. You are one of the members that made us realize this needs to be an annual event 😆🤩😍☺️!!!
So thank you for your persistence in asking!! 😂😘
I'm ready to see these entries!! Whoo Hoo!! 💃🏽
Hahah, yeah I remember that I did some reminiscing post of the contest from year 1 to year 2. And I keep on asking you when will it happen again.. 😅🤣
Sorry but not sorry. Hahaha. I just love this kind of contest. But it seems that my entry will be posted on the last day of submission, lol. 😅 But I hope it will be worth it.
Sorry for the delayed response. I had it read just by now. My bad.
Hahaha!!! I know how much you love this one so I knew you weren’t really sorry for the persistence. 🤣🤣😂
It’s okay, thanks for responding. I’m heading over to read your entry now. I am already in love with the cover photo! 😍
But still thanking you for being patient answering all our inquiries about this kind of contest. I know I'm not alone. 😅🤣
There were lots of beautiful entries now that you will surely enjoy reading. Good luck @crosheille and the rest of the team. 🥰
Wish I have time to make one.I am not that good in needlework but I love to create designs
Maybe one day you'll get the time to join us by learning a needle craft. We'd love to have you. 😉
How fun, recently my boyfriend gave me a bardie because he wanted to make small outfits so we will be present in this year's contest.
Oh great! Right on time! Have fun!! 😃
This sounds like a fun and exciting contest for the needlework community! I love the added twist of giving Barbie a career with the needlework creations. It will be interesting to see the variety of careers people come up with for Barbie
Thanks so much for your support and feedback. We think it will be a fun round of creative work. I hope you check back in on some of the entries. 🙂
Can't wait to see the entries on this one. Despite my boyish attitude and hobbies, I've always loved dolls, lol. So while I'm not able to create any, I am looking forward to discovering what the hive fam is up to :D
I'm looking forward to seeing them too! 😍
Lol! Well I hope you remember to check back soon to see some of these creations. 😀
Absolutely ❤️
What a nice initiative. I had not had the opportunity before, but with all my enthusiasm I will be preparing my Professional Barbie, although I don't have one, it's my turn to be creative with this too.
Oh that's great. This contest brought tears to my eyes last year. Let's see what I can come up with for this year. As usual I don't have a barbie, but maybe this time I will get one, the challenge is the profession...I'm in thinking mode hahaha.
I remember! You shocked all of us by the creation you achieved...it was and still is quite amazing!!
Hahaha looking forward to seeing what you decide!! 😄😍
AHHHHHHHHH...how sad!!!! I wanted to participate again but I moved and I don't have any sewing here 😭 I can't wait to see the costumes of the participants... I'm so looking forward to it!!!! 😍 😍 😍
Ahhhh man!! I sure wish you were able to join us again. 😟
But yes, at least you’ll be able to enjoy viewing the entries. 😊😍
I'm hoping there's a chance I'll come up with an unexpected contest entry... who knows. Life takes many turns hehe
Oh yeah! I know there are going to be amazing entries like last year! Even as a spectator and voter, I will make my contribution 💚💚💚
It would be awesome to see an unexpected entry from you. 😍
You’re absolutely right, you’ll be contributing either way.
If you aren’t able to submit an entry I invite you to come on as a judge for this round! Let me know if you’re interested. 💖😉
¡OMG!... I didn't expect it 😳 It would be an honor for me to be a judge of a contest as beautiful as this one! Although I admit that it will be difficult because there are going to be too many wonderful entries 😍
Excellent!! We’d love to have you! I will invite you to a channel on discord when it’s time to start our judging discussions.
Oh yes…I will definitely confirm that and say it will be tough. This is why we like to add a third judge to help us out. 😆😄😅😜
Thanks so much. Looking forward to working with you ~ 💖
Perfect, I'll be looking forward to the contest. I've never been a judge, so it will be a new experience that will surely be fun ha ha I hope to do a good job. Likewise, I also look forward to working with you and thank you very much for the invitation.💚💚💚
Wow! I love this idea, my doll is not a barbie, but I think it's good to participate in the contest, I'll start thinking about the theme of my entry.
Happy night!
So glad you love the idea! Please make sure your doll is equivalent (or very close to) a Barbie sized doll to qualify for an entry. 😉
Have fun ~
I think my doll looks more like a baby, it doesn't have much to do with Barbie I will keep looking for one among my friends, there are still 6 days left until the contest closes.
Happy beginning of the week!
I hope you can find one in time!!! 😉
A very beautiful contest and full of creativity, I hope to buy my Barbie soon to participate in a next edition, these days have been rainy and I have not been able to go out because I have the flu.
I think I'm going to play with the doll for a while, I'm sure I'll have fun. excellent initiative as always.
My mind started to fly. 😄
So glad you're in. I know you'll have a good time with whatever you choose to make!!
Enjoy the process!! 😃
What a nice news, @crosheille I am happy about this initiative, you can't imagine how much I was looking forward to the contest. Although the time is short I will start to fly my imagination with my daughter's Barbie, I would like to do so many things, but I will do something beautiful.
Looking forward to seeing what you come up with. 😉
