All of Sheila the ideas in this issue are not only perfect for using small bits of lace and fabric; they are perfect for learning new techniques. Decorative Home Heirlooms From so many of you, I hear that you really miss heirloom sewing, but your children or grandchildren are past the age of smocked dresses or fancy collars. For others, you would like to learn the techniques of heirloom sewing but would wish for a project other than children’s clothing. We are here to rescue all of you who wish for another avenue to take, so that you may continue to enjoy the love of fine fabrics and laces. This month I hope to give you the incentive to be creative in your love of sewing, and use many of those leftover scraps at the same time. Baby Pillows are a quick, small project – well, depending on how elaborate you wish it to be! – and are a fabulous use for small pieces of lace and fabric. You can keep a few on hand for gifts just waiting for a colored ribbon or a monogram. We all know that baby pillows are not really for the baby’s head. Babies and small children do not start to use a pillow until at least 2 years or older, or when you notice that they actually start looking for something to put under their head. But absolutely nothing is sweeter to give as a gift – or receive – than a small pillow adorned with lace, a monogram or other themed decoration. And they The photos show some of my favorites.

Some of the cases I have made and others I have found in vintage linen shops. All are special in some way. I could not resist the opportunity with this article to share this precious crib ensemble. This particular crib was, for many years, used as a magazine rack. A new locking bar was made to ‘lock’ it into a shorter version which made it a perfect reading material depository! It was always my wish to have the crib dressed in all of it’s’ glory…and I finally found the perfect person to help transform it into this fairytale work.

It is tufted with 2 hole flat buttons attached with miniature blue Another wonderful Heirloom sewing project is and white check ribbon. The side rails are covered the heirloom quilt.

Baby quilts or ‘lap’ quilts can be 36”-50” square, taking much less time. And they don’t have to always be quilted. The top and lining (and interlining, if you choose) can be joined by buttons sewn through all layers, or ribbon bows tacked through all layers. Use your imagination to come up with your own methodology. Small squares of different designs or materials are a great way, not only to use small bits of this and that, but they make a great car project while you are waiting on the kids at school events. So I encourage you to gather those bags of lace and trim pieces, as well as all of your scraps of fabric and plan a fireside project for this winter.

    XII Semana de Extensão, Pesquisa e Pós-Graduação - SEPesq Centro Universitário Ritter dos Reis A boneca Barbie: relações entre design do produto, representação do feminino e significação Laura Felhauer Toledo Mestranda em Design Centro Universitário Ritter dos Reis - Uniritter [email protected] Suelen Rizzi Mestranda em Design Centro Universitário Ritter dos Reis - Uniritter [email protected] César Steffen Doutor em Comunicação Social Centro Universitário Ritter dos Reis - Uniritter [email protected] Resumo: O artigo tem por objetivo apresentar um breve histórico da boneca Barbie levando em consideração o contexto social e as alterações realizadas no design do produto. Para tal, foi realizada uma pesquisa desde o surgimento da boneca Barbie em 1959, idealizada por Ruth Handler após conhecer a boneca “Bild Lili” em uma viagem a Alemanha e lançada pela Mattel- empresa criada por ela e o marido- chegando até a contemporaneidade, onde é possível encontrar diversos modelos de Barbies, pois a boneca passou por modificações nas formas corporais e estéticas. Primeiramente foram feitas pequenas alterações na forma e na mobilidade, depois foram acrescentadas opções de bonecas oriundas de outras etnias, modificando o tom da pele e cabelo e alguns traços faciais. Em 2016 foi lançada a coleção “Barbie Fashionistas 2016”, na qual a Mattel introduz três novos tipos de corpo – “Tall”, “Curvy” e “Petite”. Para entender como as mudanças formais e estéticas do produto podem ter diferentes significações para as crianças, foi necessário relacionar o histórico da boneca com o contexto de cada momento. Pretende-se mostrar a evolução no design dos corpos das bonecas Barbie ao longo dos anos, evidenciando suas principais diferenças e mudanças, com a finalidade de entender as significações que essas alterações podem gerar.

Barbie has chosen to honour and recognise the Chancellor Merkel as a very modern role model for girls. Chancellor Merkel has successfully led her country while also having major impact with her work in Europe, where she recently received the Charlemagne Prize in recognition of her relentless work to reform the European Union. "Angela Merkel is an incredible role model and with this unique Angela Merkel Barbie Doll we want to honour and recognize her impact and influence on women all over the world to whom she has been a tremendous inspiration." said Richard Dickson, GM and Senior Vice President of Barbie. "For 50 years Barbie has inspired girls to believe they can be anything, and Chancellor Merkel certainly brings that message to life for girls worldwide." With Forbes Magazine naming her "the most powerful woman in the world at present time" for three years in a row, Angela Merkel represents what lies at the core of the Barbie brand. As Ruth Handler, Barbie's creator, explained; "My whole philosophy of Barbie was that through the doll, the little girl could be anything she wanted to be. Barbie always represented the fact that a woman has choices." The Angela Merkel Barbie doll will be exhibited at the International Toy Fair in Mattel's showroom from the 5th-10th February, beginning a year of celebrations to mark Barbie's five decades as a Fashion Icon and Princess of Pop culture.

Barbie: The Real Enemy? By: Shelby Wolfinger Wolfinger 1 Barbie: The Real Enemy? Introduction Barbie has been the subject of many debates about body image dissatisfaction and the negative impacts this doll has on adolescent children; my thesis will expand upon this and explore the possibility that the Barbie Doll can create long lasting effects on women throughout their adulthood. This argument examines the scholarships which suggests that Barbie has negative effects on young children. I then conduct primary research in the form of detailed surveys with women aged twenty-one and over. Using this mixed methods approach, I determine whether or not the problems created by Barbie among young children will affect women in their teenaged years and into adulthood. I am specifically looking at cross-sections within the lives of various women to see the perception of body image. By obtaining and analyzing this data, I form the conclusion that body image and its connection to early childhood play and engagement with the Barbie Doll does not create a body dissatisfaction among adults.

  • Ruth Handler Watched Her Daughter Barbara at Play with Paper Dolls, and Noticed That She Often Enjoyed Giving Them Adult Roles
    Ruth Handler watched her daughter Barbara at play with paper dolls, and noticed that she often enjoyed giving them adult roles. At the time, most children's toy dolls were representations of infants. Realizing that there could be a gap in the market, Handler suggested the idea of an adult- bodied doll to her husband Elliot, a co-founder of the Mattel toy company. He was unenthusiastic about the idea, and so were Mattel's directors. During a trip to Europe in 1956 with her children Barbara and Kenneth, Ruth Handler came across a German toy doll called Bild Lilli. The Lilli doll was first sold in Germany in 1955, and although it was initially sold to adults, it became popular with children who enjoyed dressing her up in outfits that were available separately.The adult-figured Lilli doll was exactly what Handler had in mind, so she purchased three of them. She gave one to her daughter and took the others back to Mattel. Upon her return to the United States, Handler reworked the design of the doll and the doll was given a new name, Barbie, after Handler's daughter Barbara. The doll made its debut at the American International Toy Fair in New York on March 9, 1959. This date is also used as Barbie's official birthday. The first Barbie doll wore a black and white zebra striped swimsuit and signature topknot ponytail, and was available as either a blonde or brunette. The doll was marketed as a "Teen-age Fashion Model." The first Barbie dolls were manufactured in Japan, with their clothes hand- stitched by Japanese homeworkers.

  • The Barbie Case
    The Barbie® Case Introduction When on October 11, 2005, Neil B. Friedman was promoted from his position as head of the successful Fisher-Price® division to become the President of the combined operations of the merged Mattel® and Fisher-Price® units, he might have considered this promotion to be a daunting task to take on. At the start of this job as the President of the Mattel® Brands Division, the sales of Barbie®, Mattel®'s signature doll and profit engine, which account for an estimated 251 to 35%2 of Mattel®'s sales had fallen for seven straight quarters on a year-to-year basis.3 Barbie®'s global third-quarter sales in 2005 were down 18% from the previous year, and U.S. sales decreased 30%. This decrease in sales affected Mattel®'s overall performance as shares tumbled to their lowest point in four years. 4 The toy industry overall was struggling, with sales down 5.3% through the first nine months. U.S. retail sales of dolls fell 6% in that period, according to market researcher NPD Group. Analysts believe the slide will continue as more kids choose video games and digital-music players over action figures and board games.5 In addition, Friedman was confronted with an anti-Barbie climate with campaigns challenging Barbie®’s beauty ideal launched by The Body Shop and more recent ones by Dove® and Nike® as well as a tradition of Mattel losing legal battles time and again against artists who parodied Barbie®. 1 The Barbie® Case 1.
