Just like I took my kids skiing (Betsy and Toby with Joshua), I suggested I take Harry, Gemma and Luna away. We chose Akko as I like it and we could easily travel up by train. We stayed in a fabulous apartment (part of the Arabesque Hotel Group) and I made all the clothes and weapons for crusader Barbie before we left. I used metallic thread to look like chainmail. I didn’t want her to wear a cross so did a spiral which I smudged. The shield was a metal lid that I used my bradawl to make 8 holes and threaded purple elastic and covered the centre with red chenille. I made her sword from coffee stirrers.
I based her on the anime picture and made her shoes from a cut up hair bobble. I used metallic ribbon for the top bit of her shoes.
