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.

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....
Several years ago I purchased a bunch of presser feet and made my own custom organizer. You can read about it here . After a while, I realized I wasn't using many of the presser feet, so I decided to sell the ones I didn't use. Then I created a new organizer, which is smaller and more easily fits into my desk drawer. Here's a step-by-step guide how to make your own.... Materials Storage Container with compartments Magic Erasers Scissors Ruler Pen Double-sided Tape First measure the compartment size. If you are computer savvy, you can create your own spreadsheet using the measurements, and customizing it with your presser feet. Or you can download the one I made here: pdf ms works Then cut out the magic erasers to fit the compartments. I didn't need them for each compartment since some of my feet are pretty large. Then print out 3 sheets. You will cut one, and use the other two for the lid of your organizer. Place the cut labels inside the ...
In my previous reviews for the Singer 9960 Quantum Stylist (click here for review) and Singer Futura XL-400 , (click here for review) I was really excited about the automatic thread cutter that the 9960 has, and was wishing that the Futura had it, too. Well, I got my wish. Most everything that the Quantum Stylist has that I love, the new Futura XL-580 has. So I was quick to purchase it and sell my other machines. I needed to clear out things in my bedroom/craft room/sewing room anyway. I figured since one sewing machine takes up less room than two and since the XL-580 has the previously mentioned features, that I might as well have one machine rather than two. Oh how I was wrong! If you’re looking for an embroidery machine, this one will do, but if you’re looking for a great overall sewing machine, the Quantum Stylist takes the cake.
