NEEDLEWWWORK YOUR BARBIE CONTEST 5fh Edition

The community's favorite contest is back. We are pleased to announce the fifth edition of the NeedleWork your Barbie Contest. This contest has been very well received by the whole community since its first edition in 2020, that's why we can't stop running it every year. This time we have a very interesting theme:

Fashion has been a reflection of society, evolving with cultural, technological and economic changes throughout history. We have gone through different and diverse styles, each one belonging to a particular era and decade. In recent times, fashion has taken an inclusive and sustainable turn, embracing diversity and adapting to new technologies. Today, each style is a statement of identity and creativity, celebrating the past while looking to the future. With this contest we would like to invite you to select your favorite era or decade and based on the fashion of that time design and make outfits or accessories for your Barbie.

Show us your creative process with some pictures, but we also want more than just a tutorial. Tell us what's behind the project: motivations, ideas, difficulties, anecdotes etc. We look forward to reading you ! 1.- Create your project for your Barbie doll where fashion in time is the main theme. This includes small outfits like dresses, pants or shirts, but also extends to accessories like bags, backpacks or hats. 2.- It's not exclusive to have a Barbie style doll to participate. It can also be any other type of doll that has a human form, even dolls with man figures or rag dolls (except baby dolls). 3.- All items you make for Barbie must include a needle.
