"There's nothing to lose now" is the starting point of most of the art and craft things I've made that I actually like! I've gotta go and cut out some fabric because I don't want to keep you waiting too long! :) Thanks, Fiona! “There’s nothing to lose now” is the starting point of most of the art and craft things I’ve made that I actually like!

Making clothes for monsters has helped me in somewhat the same way. Similarly, I am limited by what I can spend. I do have a lot of fabric though, so as long as I use what I already have I'll be okay. Actually, I had a rule to not buy any new fabric until I made at least ten things from the fabric I already have. I've lost count of the exact amount of items I've made since I started that, but I'm somewhere over ten and have extended it because I still can't afford to go fabric shopping and I still have a lot of fabric. It needs to be used. It doesn't mean anything just sitting on the shelf! Thanks for your comments! I'd love to see photos of your Barbie outfits and all the rest. Do you have them posted anywhere?

I then went on to make bathing suits and t-shirts and doll clothes and matching outfits for Kate ant a Holly Hobby dolll and once she got old enough I quit the whole thin altogether and now I just corchet and love it and the memories of my past successes and dismal fabric faialures.
