Barbie Sized Tape Measure Ruler Freebie
I have been having to alter a lot of old Barbie patterns because they don’t fit the new Barbie Basics or Silkstones. I found a software online that I can put in the measurements and it will draft the pattern for me. It doesn’t work with Barbie’s actual measurements, but multiplying it by six, it works. I thought it would be a lot easier to measure the Barbies with a tape measure that is 1/6 scale to avoid converting all the measurements. So here it is. Just download it and print it using a program such as Photoshop to print it at 100% scale, do not “fit to page” or anything like that. If you have any trouble, feel free to contact me. After printing, I cut it and put a strip of tape on each side, then cut the tape close to the paper. The measurements are in inches. It is supposed to be 10.24 inches long when printed.

And
here is a full sheet (letter size) with several rulers on it so that you can cut them out and tape them together.

Backstory For the past week I've been reattaching all my photos to each of my posts on some of my blogs due to losing all my photos when I deleted my main account (read about it here .) I ran across the Singer sewing machine reviews that I had done--mainly the Singer 9960 Quantum Stylist --my all-time FAVORITE sewing machine! I had sold it (along with my Futura XL-400 ) 5 years ago and purchased a Singer Futura XL-580 instead. (I figured I could sell two machines and just use one, so I wouldn't be using up so much space in my bedroom.) Since the day I sold it, I've regretted it. I loved that machine. A while back when I had checked to see if they still made them, I found it had been discontinued. I was just curious so I looked again and was surprised that they started making them again! On sale for $500 on singer.com . So since I had sold mine on facebook marketplace years ago, I was just curious if someone was selling theirs....
42 Presser Feet Guide What is included and what do they do ? Most presser feet cost $5 and up. There’s a couple big kits with loads of presser feet on the market that are a lot more affordable. There are many different variations of the kits , as well as different sizes. I purchased the 42-piece kit . The box reminds me of a box of chocolates. Of course I had to make my own custom organizer: I searched on other websites for a complete list for what was what and their uses. I couldn’t find any. So…. I went through piece-by-piece and compiled a convienent list with photos, uses, and videos (also available on PDF ). They are in order from top let to bottom right of the box.
Today I went to the thrift store to see what they had in crafts and found a bunch of embossing powders and ink. I’ve seen embossed stamps just recently on the web, so I was thrilled to find these. Normally they run around $5 each and I got them for $1.75 each. I was excited to try them out and so were my kids. I don’t have a heating gun, but I looked up online and found that you can use a regular clothes iron for it, so I gave it a try. It worked fine, but some of the paper was sensitive to the heat and curled up a little. All I did was hold the paper above the iron as the iron bottom was faced up. The paper barely touched the iron and it took about 10-20 seconds to heat the paper enough to melt the powder. It didn’t singe or burn any of the paper. Some irons may vary. I used Durathon Electronic Iron by Hamilton Beach. I bought seven different colors, although some colors say the same name but are quite different. They are from different companies, too. Here’s the photos I got of...
