Frozen 2 Learn to Sew Olaf Body Pillow Finished and Video
It’s been a few weeks since I mentioned that I sewed an Olaf body pillow using a Frozen 2 Learn to Sew kit I found at Walmart. Since Frozen 2 will be in theaters later this week, I wanted to show what the pillow looks like when it’s all done. Here is Olaf’s front… And Olaf’s back… I’m very happy with the way the pillow turned out. It isn’t as big as some body pillows I saw in store, but I know that this is the right size for a child to use as a body pillow. I’m glad the pillow is so small because I hope to give it…

Sewing and Craft Review- October 2019
Well, October is over and I didn’t write the posts or do the things I wanted to. Too many things happened this past month that stopped me from blogging or sewing or took my motivation away from doing the things I wanted to. Despite this, I was still able to finish some sewing and craft projects and start new ones as well.

1970’s Elsa Skirt
A few months ago, I had plans to go to a pop culture convention with some friends of mine. Since I’m loosing weight, the only “geeky” clothes that fit me was a few t-shirts and my Tardis jumper skirt. I had some time at that time, so I began working on new skirts and costumes I could make and finish in time to wear to the convention. Unfortunately, the convention plans ended up falling through and in my disappointment, I set everything I sewed to wear to the convention aside. This week, I began to drag all my unfinished projects I worked on for the convention out so I could…

Elsa’s Frozen Fever Dress-Part 2
After a writer’s block last week, I finally finished the last post about how I made Elsa’s Frozen Fever dress! Although this is the last post about the dress, the posts about the shirt and cape will not be posted for a while because I have yet to work on them. XD In my last post, I talked about sewing the dress together and talking about how I sewed the shirring into the back of the dress. Today, I’ll talk about sewing sequins onto the dress and finishing the dress.

Elsa’s Frozen Fever Dress-Part 1
A few months ago, I planned on going to Phoenix Comicon 2016. I ended up not going because I wanted to take care of my ill family member, but when I was planning on going I decided to make and wear Elsa’s dress from Frozen Fever… I recently just finished the main dress, so I thought I’d talk about how I made it and what it looks like done!

Anna’s Coronation Dress- Finishing the Skirt
After what feels like forever, I can now finally make the last post about the skirt for Anna’s coronation dress! You can read my other posts about the skirt here and here. I’m not going to lie, I’m very happy this skirt is done. I was getting very tired of working on it and seeing it around my house. Now that it’s done, I can work on long list of to-sew projects that keeps growing every week. (Most of them are repairs or adjustments to clothes so you won’t see them here on my blog. Especially since they are uninteresting and boring. 😉 )

Anna’s Coronation Dress- Skirt Panels and Pattern Fix
Progress on the skirt for Anna’s coronation dress was fast, but then quickly slowed down due to life, a virus I caught, and other projects I’m working on. Now that I’m nearing completion of the skirt, I decided to finish writing my posts about the skirt. In the last post I made about the skirt I talked about the fabric I found for the skirt and an instruction error in the pattern. Since that is the most important part of this post, I’ll talk about that first. What exactly happened was while I was cutting out the fabric for the light green skirt panels (These are the panels that go…

Anna’s Coronation Dress- Appliques Done and Skirt Panels
Everyone, I have some good news! After five or six months of on and off work, I finally finished sewing the appliques onto the skirt panels for Anna’s coronation dress! You can read how I began working on the dress here. I hated working on the appliques because I overworked my thumb, thus forcing me to not be able to do any hand sewing for at least a week. Next time I do any sort of hand sewing on appliques, I need to create a work schedule to give my hand breaks. Anyway, here’s what all 10 skirt panels with the appliques sewn on look like…

Favorite Patterns for 2015- Simplicity
Finally, I made the follow up post to my favorite sewing patterns from McCall’s! (Just in time for Halloween too) It took me longer than I wanted to type this post because Simplicity and McCall’s released even more new costume patterns for sale. This was driving me crazy because… well… I thought they would release them at once and be done with it. Instead they released them in phases. Since I cannot go to a store as easily as I could last year, it took me a while to buy all the patterns I wanted. Since I’m currently reorganizing my sewing room, I was unable to take photos of all…

Anna’s Coronation Dress- All the Pretty Appliques
Despite planning to make Anna’s coronation dress from Frozen, I held back talking about this costume because I wanted to finish it first, then make a post about how I made it, complete with photos of the finished dress. Since I decided to make this dress over a year ago and I’m still working on it, I decided to make a post about my progress on the dress. Although I can relate to Elsa and her struggles, especially since this past year was very hard on me, I look like Anna. My hair is the same color as Anna’s, I have freckles, and I have bangs. (I’m growing my bangs…
