Peaches and Cream Barbie Suit

    Here is the first pattern I will share for free on this blog!  I'm very excited about releasing this pattern.  I hope you enjoy this pattern!

I love how the scarf looks!

This suit is perfect for a warm spring day!  The scarf is a pretty, stylish, accessory that gives this outfit a more relaxed look.  I love how textured the dress and jacket are!
