I had a Barbie doll dress kit.
I said that I learned to sew, period.? But I should add that it was sewing for
my Babette doll (a cheaper imitation of Barbie) that got me started.? Does
anyone else remember how one could buy a dozen or so outfits for the original
Barbie, and they were all printed in a little book?? Well, my first efforts
were to try to copy those outfits, but I finally started getting creative.? It
was easier once commercial patterns came out for them (I still have all the
patterns, BTW).
Oh, I never bothered sewing snaps on, but just pinned them shut.

I had a Barbie doll dress kit. You cut out the fabric, but instead of
sewing, they had little, tiny, thin, twisty, hard to work with (can you tell
I hated it) double sided tape, which you were supposed to use to put the
thing together with. It never stuck correctly. I was bummed.
