Vanessa found her grandmother's chest. DIY Sewing machine for Barbie dolls

-

  

  Vanessa's grandmother is a talented seamstress who created incredible clothes. Now the grandmother is traveling around the world. Vanessa loved spending time in her grandmother's workshop, watching her work her magic with needle and thread. Now, Vanessa is a seamstress herself and has inherited her grandmother's love for this craft. She works in a bright and spacious workshop in the "Kingdom of Creativity", where she creates beautiful pieces surrounded by an inspiring atmosphere.

  You can read the post about Vanessa the Seamstress: Barbie the seamstress and the island "Kingdom of creativity".

   How did it all begin? One day, while cleaning the dusty attic, the girl stumbled upon an old chest. The atmosphere was musty, but curiosity got the best of her. Inside the chest, she found her grandmother's vintage sewing machine, embroidery hoop, threads, metal box, and beautiful fabrics.




   All of these things reminded the girl of her grandmother, and for Vanessa, it was a sign. She decided that she would become a seamstress, just like her grandmother.

The black vintage sewing machine looks great. All the things from the chest are so precious to Vanessa.



What's in the metal box?
