How about Barbie out west or maybe down south in a flowing southern gown? Dress her up as a flapper girl or maybe a bit of disco. It wouldn’t take much to make these costumes and accessories. There are free Barbie doll knitting patterns all over the net to give you ideas on beginning your projects. So many things can be knit.
