Sportswear top for Barbie

This sportswear top is made with an extensible and soft fabric. It is quite easy to realize. You will need a little bit of patience to sew the reductions on the sleeves and the bottom. Be careful with the hood and try it on your doll before sewing to the top, Barbies tend to have a lot of hair.
Don’t forget to look at the sportswear bottom and long sleeves t-shirt.
