CUSTOM BARBIE! MALIBU BARBIE! BARBIE MAKEOVER! REROOT! REPAINT! DRAWING! SEWING FOR BARBIE!

This video is dedicated to my Mom. I love you! None of this could be possible without your encouragement and love.

WOW! This video took me a while to make, but not as long as this doll has been on my mind. I designed this Barbie over a year ago. WAYYY before I had a channel, although I wanted one, and WAYYYY before I made my first custom odile Barbie. When I designed her first, the odile dolls hadn’t been released other than a holiday doll, which I was going to recolor her to use for Malibu Barbie. Luckily Amazon is queen, and had just what I needed!!
I always knew, even after I made my first odile doll, I had to make the Malibu doll I drew about in 4 different sketchbooks. When I have an idea, I always like to go back to it and think of new things to add or subtract from the design. I usually design so much in a fashion sketch so that I have options for when I get to it, not that I exactly want it just like the sketch. And Malibu Barbie’s sketches were quite consistent. And she probably would’ve have been exactly like the sketches had I been able to find the perfect fabric I needed. Unfortunately, the fabric I needed was not available to me, so I had to get creative and figure out what I could use for my design.
I have to say, I love how she’s turned out. She will hold a special place next to my other dolls I designed.
I hope you all enjoy the process, jokes, excitement, and thought behind the doll and everything behind the scenes. This video and doll took a lot out of me, so I hope you don’t mind me taking a few days off to relax.

I want to say welcome to everyone who has subscribed since I last uploaded! Thank you all for being here! And I want to say, welcome back friends who have been with me from the start! I hope everyone is doing so well, and I send all my love and light to everyone who’d like to have a reason to shine!
