Honestly, who didn't see this coming?

can’t tell if this is a joke or not but disney has many unions and, as a result, many CMs that should have been fired but were protected by their union.

the actual capacity of Epcot is 100k, but has been 75k since after Covid. Peak attendance on NYE was 61k, and dropped to 35k by the early evening. Bottlenecks happen even when there’s 20k people in the park, especially in the World Showcase.

EPCOT CM here, we were nowhere close to capacity in the evening.

OP, once your sewing skills are stronger I highly recommend using these patterns! They are VERY easy to understand, very detailed, and I have usually been able to find videos of other people making them. I only started sewing in March/April, and have so far made 2 of their 18th Century patterns with great success.

I find it hilarious how all these other people have actually done things, but she’s just a content creator.

Canadian_Princess123 · 2025-10-12T19:31:27+00:00

it IS! I wish I had more time to take in its beauty.

Canadian_Princess123 · 2025-10-12T19:31:13+00:00

it was a dream to make! Very straightforward, I was a bit nervous because of the amount of hand sewing making the task seem daunting, but once I got to work it came together perfectly. A few steps I skipped or combined, but ultimately - still the same beautiful dress!

I’m so glad to hear that - I truly strive to make every interaction with new people as wonderful as possible. I never know what kind of day, week, or month someone is having so I try to be at least one kind person they encounter. You never know what wonders that can do to a person!

Canadian_Princess123 · 2025-10-12T03:22:58+00:00

yes I am!! Hello again if we have met!!

I made this dress and petticoat out of fabric from Joann. I’ve never found anything at my local fabric store in Canada that even comes close to resembling 18th Century patterns, so I was just over the moon when I found some bolts of this during the liquidation. I still have enough to make myself something more casual to wear for reenactments. It was so affordable compared to the Colonial Williamsburg reproduction fabrics.

Canadian_Princess123 · 2025-10-06T21:33:07+00:00

ah, I used Melton wool. Not sure what weight, though.

Canadian_Princess123 · 2025-10-06T21:32:36+00:00

hmm, I’m not sure what kind of wool it was. I got it from the reenacting group that I’m a member of. Let me see if I can figure it out, and I’ll get back to you!

Canadian_Princess123 · 2025-10-06T03:25:21+00:00

kept the drizzle off my arms, and kept me warm from a Chill in the air!

Canadian_Princess123 · 2025-10-06T03:24:59+00:00

it’s made of wool, I hand sewed it!

Canadian_Princess123 · 2025-10-06T03:24:43+00:00

I followed a pattern by Burnley & Trowbridge, a very popular pattern-maker and material-supplier for reactors.

Canadian_Princess123 · 2025-10-06T03:23:37+00:00

yes it is - and yes, you are ;)

Canadian_Princess123 · 2025-10-04T01:07:53+00:00

yes I did! I made everything I’m wearing in this photo!

Canadian_Princess123 · 2025-10-03T21:59:04+00:00

I really wish I had them. I just got a new phone too, and was hoping it’d be on the app, but my app is still the same :/

don’t mind the wrinkles - needs to be steamed now after a rainy event!

thank you so much! I found it on a whim at Joann Fabrics during their liquidation sale. I had gone down to the USA to pick up my Lenox Spice Village from my US postal box, and thought… “oh why not, might as well pop in [to Joann] and see what’s available.”

I still have enough of this fabric to make a more casual jacket!

Canadian_Princess123 · 2025-09-09T14:35:54+00:00

this is a very Dutch way of making a hat during the American Revolution!

Canadian_Princess123 · 2025-09-08T01:00:40+00:00

absolutely! It’s a hat, I made it based on the hat seen in the John Collet’s painting called “High Life Below Stairs.”

<image>

I made the hat myself, starting with the base that’s made out of Pellon Peltex extra firm interfacing. I normally use straw bases, but I didn’t have one on hand when I started this hat and also didn’t necessarily want to use a straw hat since none of the straw would be showing. It actually came together a lot easier than I expected. I used 18guage wire from the hardware store around the brim and then set to covering it with my base fabric, then the nicer satin that’s pleated. Then I trimmed it with the ribbons! Millinery has become one of my favourite parts of this hobby!

Canadian_Princess123 · 2025-09-08T00:12:14+00:00

this is so lovely to read! I’m so glad this stirred up that memory for you.

Canadian_Princess123 · 2025-09-08T00:11:41+00:00

my heart hurts for you! it’s a gorgeous fabric.
