The advantage of sewing your own Barbie doll clothes accessories and wardrobe is you can design these sport shorts on your own, you can determine the type of fabric and design you want for your dolls wardrobe.

Here is your 4th part of the free barbie doll patterns from the 10 Mix & Match Outfits. Your possibilities are endless when creating Barbie doll clothes, but you need to make sure that you keep in mind the blouse you are going to design as well.

For example, you don't want a pair of neon green sports shorts to go with a hot pink top. If you want to go for a cool denim style you can do that. If you want a flashy pair that shimmers, there is a material for that as well.

Think abou the fabric to use for this great set of sports short, you will probably want to find something thin and cool. Because it is a summer or warm weather style, wool wouldn't work at all. Cotton is a good option, or if you can find a light material you prefer to use than use that instead. It is your doll and the great part of designing is you make all the decisions.

Keeping that in mind, you will also need to determine how many looks you want to create while trying some different materials. Since you are creating this wardrobe you can use any fabric you choose and mix it up a bit with the other patterns in this set.

One creative idea you might have is to take four similar fashion doll outfits and design them seasonally. Using this pair of sports shorts and blouse for summer, you can use the same pattern and using different material to create several unique looks. To do this, just make sure you find a fabric that would fit the season.

As you design the sports shorts, you should take into consideration the different ways you can make the style a little more unique. For example, if you wanted to lengthen the legs to touch the knees that is one possibility.

Others include adding a flower or bedazzling one pant leg, or even giving them a rugged torn jean look. Keeping in mind that following the pattern is essential for proper fitting, but you can fine tune it to the point that it is one of a kind.

Finally, don't be afraid to do the sewing. While it may seem intimidating at first, the process is rather simple and with a little practice you will quickly become a pro. In no time you will be creating outfits that any doll owner will envy.
