From Connie Barwick, your About Needlecrafts Editor
Here are a few of my favorite from among the recent projects posted by About.com Guides. I hope you find some projects that you like too!

Free Sewing Patterns for Fashion Doll Clothes
Recently I pulled out my Barbies and fashion dolls from the small case I had them packed away in. I hadn't looked at them in a long time and honestly, I am not sure why I kept some of them! I threw away some that were broken and beyond repair. A few went to a box for the yard sale bin. I kept two - the first one I got (Summer PJ) and the last one I bought (a Target Barbie). And now, I am thinking that they need some new duds. I want to keep them out on display instead of packing them up. Debbie's got just what I need!

Knit an Eyelet Wrap
In summer, I like to have a wrap with me when I got out, especially in the evening. I am usually hot-natured, but when you are dressed for summer and you are inside, sometimes the AC gets a little chilly, even for me. Sarah's wrap will be a great take-a-long because it is airy and light, but it will still keep the chill off my arms when I need it!

Copper Bow and Jet Crystal Necklace
Black is my favorite color for jewelry, so Tammy's newest necklace project is right up my alley. Not only does it have jet beads, but it has a copper bow as the focal element. It's cool and feminine without being too girlie. (If the bow were pink, for example, it would not be for me.)

Bottle Cap Crochet Patterns and Craft Projects
Bottle caps are quite the rage right now - I have seen them made into rings, mini frames, pincushions, and even used as wheels on a milk carton school bus. Amy has collected all sorts of crochet and bottle cap projects that will help you be trendy and environmentally friendly. Start collecting bottle caps today!
