My Own Elf

Today I made my daughter a red velvet Christmas dress with bubble sleeves and combined it with her red satin Elf/Gnome hat I made her last week.

I sew with Brother machines and needed both sewing and overlock machines (with wooly nylon) to make this happen properly. The bubble sleeves were really fun to make and this was my first time working with stretch Velvet which sewed better than I thought. It didn’t slip and slide nearly as bad as expected. It has amazing twirl factor which she loves. She is ready for Christmas & her new job on Santa’s team as his stylish little elf!

Merry Christmas!

Great Stocking Stuffers for Everyone

This time of year everyone is excited for the holidays. A favorite tradition is the opening of the Christmas Stocking on Christmas morning. Now Santa Claus normally takes care of filling it but it’s always fun to add a little extra yourself to round it out. Here are some fun seasonal ideas you can great pretty reasonably for all ages. There really is something for everyone.

Happy Holidays!
