I got a Swappin' Styles Barbie sort of by accident and discovered that the heads also come off in the normal way. This plus a half-price sale at the local toy shop? Equals re-heading a couple of dolls I wasn't that keen on. Hurrah!

I got Sporty and Cutie because they had nice hair. Off came two 90s-Barbie heads that long ago became victims of haircuts, and with a bit of a struggle I now have basically two new dolls.

I checked skin-tone in the shop and the white ones all seem to be Generic Barbie Caucasian, and I had checked before leaving the house that Sassy wasn't too much lighter or darker than my older dolls.

I find it quite scary to swap heads on dolls in case I break them, but I am glad I did it.

I really need to get something better than my webcam for taking pics :(

pix anyway! )

First attempt at a bustle, I don't think it went too badly all things considered. Padded it out a bit with cotton wool hidden inside it. Used this pattern for the bodice and Google/YouTube to learn about bustles. Yeah, I took this even though it is more than I am really capable of, in some weird belief that pushing myself a bit would help me learn.
