I was about to buy this fabric to make a elsa dress but do any one know how to make it step by step? I really want to make a good quality dress.

I used this for an Elsa dress for my daughter. I did separates though, using the skirt tutorial here: http://lifeasmom.com/2013/10/diy-dress-up-skirts.html If you make it a straight skirt, you will need a kick pleat in the back or the side slit up the front. If I had it to do over again, I would go to my local fabric store and find a simple sheath dress pattern. I think that's your best bet, but this fabric is terrific for it!

I made one. They are really easy to make. I was able to reuse the original top portion (as padding), the fasteners and cord, but cut off the sides (which had shrunk) and covered the whole thing with a new, pretty top made of a patterned fabric I got from Spoonflower. There are lots of tutorials online for making replacement covers using the old pad as a pattern. If you will wash your fabric and dry it on a hot setting, you won't have to worry about your replacement shrinking up so badly as the original one did.

I called the company and they don't make them anymore. I suggest that maybe you could find someone to make one, or as I am doing, just putting a small blanket on it so it can be washed easily.

I think you have to use the same type fabric it comes with. It doesn't really "sew together" you can pull it apart. Theres no actual thread. But it does hold good. My daughter made a little cape for her American girl doll and it is holding up good.

You actually can sew it....I did when I had to join two sections together.Be sure to use heavy duty needles if you sew it yourself.

I actually bought a few homemade ones from a seller on ebay and am VERY impressed with the quality and fit. Her seller name is ptd0926 if you're interested in that type of thing. I've also heard good things about sheetworld and babyletto, but haven't had a chance to try them yet since I'm just getting started :)

I am not sure but it sounds like you are holding the pressure on the crystal too long. Before I try to attach the crystals I try to experiment with a couple on a similar fabric to get the feel. One thing I really like is using the special sticky paper and make my design then I have a small mangler and heat the whole picture on which also prevents the crystal from melting. Oh by the way, if you use the sticky paper make sure you have something in between the garment or you will glue the front and back together, happened to me. Good luck.

I made covers for Hanks bed myself. Sewed material into something similar to a really big pillow case. Then used Velcro at one end to close. I've made a couple and they work great. Flannel for the cooler months, cotton for summer. I am going to try folding and stiching up a single sheet with either a draw string end, or the Velcro again for his next cover. The edges of the sheet will already be hemed...should save me some time.

Because of the "newness" of the fabric, it will be difficult to work with. Unfortunately, it requires a lot of patience and some degree of ingenuity. If you have further questions, please email me at ghme.llc@gmail.com

Well from my experience I used it to make my grandaughter Elsa's dress from Frozen she wears it to play constantly and I have washed it with gentle soap cold water by hand and line dried so far it's fine

Hello MaryKatz...I will be at our cafe later this afternoon and take a closer look at the rhinestone piece. I know the rhinestones were in a single mesh piece, so you probably can cut it lengthwise...let me check it out and advise. The piece is really nice as a 4-row strand for cake layer bases...good quality. MB

Are you making a garment out of the suede and then doing the embroidery? The fabric is soft and has a nap. If you can email me at keelysgrma@q.com and give me your address I can mail you a sample of the fabric so you can try the bead work on it before you buy the fabric. I am not home right now and will be home Mon eve. I can do it at that time. Karen O'Keefe

you will need interfacing to stiff the fabric and make sure it does not fray like satin does at times. It made a nice dress but it did come with a stain but it was at the place where it was not going to matter. I would check it before using it.

Sorry I have the same problem. I'm still trying to figure it out. I might bring it to my seamstriss.

Hi, Janet. The instructions for the one I bought were in the packaging itself, printed on a fold of the cardboard, if this makes sense. It looks complicated to attach, but it is really easy. You make sure that the two-pronged portion goes around the attachment screw on the base of the foot-holder. I'm a recent sewer and quilter so I may not be using the right terminology, but if you know anyone that sews regularly they could help you. Good luck.

No, I would go to the fabric store and get something that sews in. I've made handbags before and this definitely isn't what you want. I also tried the iron on inside and didn't like the way it looked. (I can't remember what it's called for the life of me! Sorry)
