Vintage Thursday Archived Message Posted by Cathy (Kellycat) on 6/8/2017, 5:38 am Yesterday I bought the Swiss Ken vintage outfit on ebay. I'll get it in a few days. They didn't have the Swiss Barbie outfit so I looked at my Barbie book and decided I could attempt making that one myself. Here is the result. The fabric I used for the apron on the skirt was white on white. I decided to try something and used some colored pencils to color in the flowers and leaves. I like how it turned out. I don't know how permanent the coloration will be so when I store this dress I will put it inside a ziplock baggie. Side view to see detail of the hat: Thanks for looking!
