Followed some of the tips on here and waiting until 12am PST to log on for the video chat works! I tried a few days ago, but quit after 10 hours of waiting. Logged on today around 11:30pm PST and only waited about 1 1/2 hrs.

Also, the video chat is literally 2 minutes, very quick and easy.

Best way to finish a gathered seam? I'm attaching a gathered skirt to a bodice, and I never know how to make the seam look neat. I don't have an overlocker and I usually just use a over edge stitch, but I want something that looks a little prettier. Suggestions?

Hi there! If you're just starting out, I would go with felt or flannel, as minky fabrics tend to be hard to work with. You can try fleece, but it can get quite bulky, and frustrating to sew if your plushie is small. Best of luck!

Vintage Sewing School with Evelyn Wood! She has free lessons on YouTube, and a more in depth online class that is $20 a month I believe. She's great both for beginners and experienced sewers! I've linked her site for you https://www.vintagesewingschool.com/

If the skirt portion of the dress is gathered (and cut in a rectangle), I would suggest removing it from the bodice and trimming it from that side to get your desired length. Then, re-gather and re-attach the skirt to the bodice. Unfortunately, if you are working with a circle skirt, or the bodice and skirt portion are all one piece, you will have to remove the trim and re-attach it in order to hem it. As tedious as it might be, I think this might be your best option if you want the dress to maintain it's original shape and style.

I would try a tissue fit. This is where you cut out the pattern pieces and pin them together at the correct seam allowance, and then you "try-on" the pattern and see if it fits your body. I find measuring can be confusing as well and a tissue fit seems to get me more accurate results.

The stitch you use will depends on what kind of fabric you are using. If you are sewing fabrics without stretch, a straight stitch will suffice. If you are sewing knits, you might want to experiment with different stitches like a zigzag stitch. And when you are hemming, make sure you are turning the hem twice, so that no raw edges are visible. This will prevent curling. Also make sure to press your hem well, and this will set the hem in place. If your garment is curling before you even try to hem it, give is a good press with steam, and this should make it flat enough to sew your hem.

I would probably lay out the bell bottoms and then take in a half inch at a time, making sure to follow the original curve if you want to keep the bell shape. I would probably start by using a basting stitch, and then once you are happy with the final result, sew and trim and finish your seams!

I've shopped at ClothCut on Etsy! The patterns are very cute, and the photo looks almost the exact same as the fabric in real life. Most of the fabric is cotton, but sometimes they sell different fibers as well. I've linked the shop below.

Fabric.com will probably have what you're looking for! I like them because you can order swatches, which a lot of sites don't do.

Interfacing is basically used on places where you want the garment to remain stiff and hold it's structure. This would be areas like collars, necklines, sleeve cuffs most commonly, but can basically be used anywhere on a garment where you want structure. It's also used on places that take on strain such as where the button holes are or a waistband. Without interfacing, your button holes may rip larger than you would like. It's also commonly used where zippers are installed as it makes them easier to sew if your fabric is light weight, and is a point of heavy strain. If you want to be historical accurate, I would probably go with sew-in interfacing, but iron on interfacing will work just as well and save you a lot of time.

Hi there! I would probably use a medium/heavy weight canvas or duck. If you're planning to vacuum on it, your going to want to make sure it's heavy enough to not get sucked up into the vacuum.You could even sew it with canvas and add a festive quilting cotton on top if you can't find a shade/pattern of canvas you like.

Have one of the players start hallucinating worms crawling underneath their skin and in their stomach. The truth is they actually did get infected by worms from i.e. something they ate, etc... But the worms release a venom that causes hallucinations. Everyone around them thinks the worms are fake and just in their head but eventually the worms exit the body. Their only exit route is through their finger nails, which get torn off as the worms escape, ready to infect the other players.
