Elsa dress continues



To my daughter's delight, I have finally started sewing her Elsa costume.. The problem is that i'm an impatient sewer so I tend to rush through or skip steps of the directions. This time it caught up with me.  I rushed on the sewing of the edge of the cape.
It's so crooked and uneven!

.Then I tried to fix it by picking out the threads and sewing it again. It helped a little bit.

Later, I discovered that the dress has a stain on it. I thought that stains would come once my daughter put it on and started playing in it..... not from me !!

Now, I'm off to tackle my first french seam!!

Pincushion magnet

I found an old speaker so I decided to take the magnets out of it to make a pincushion. I found a scrap of flannel and some batting, I sewed it to the shape of the magnet and added the batting.  Now I can either drop the pins on it or stick them in it. That option truly comes in handy when removing pins while sewing!!!
