Creating Your Own Patterns Crafty Tip
Want to create your own craft patterns?
You will need to create a Front Cover, Supply List, Instructions, Templates, and Back Cover are the basics that make up a pattern.
When writing the Supply List be sure to include the brand names of any commercially available supplies you used. If it's an item that can only be purchased certain places, be sure and indicate that information. The supply typically goes on the back cover so the customer can see what is required without taking the pattern out of the bag.

Working with Wax Crafty Tip
After a few too many mishaps melting wax using a double boiler on the stovetop, I find a crock pot to be much easier and safer… I actually keep three crockpots, one for "clean wax", one for grubby wax with spices, and one for my scented wax! Start by melting crockpot wax on the highest setting, and then turn it to low until finished. Peace of mind!

Sewing Dresses Crafty Tip
If you're in a hurry when sewing loops into dresses, attach the loops with very thin double sided tape at the very edge of the seam allowance. Once you've finished the seam you can trim off the excess seam allowance (including the tape) with your serger or scissors. Perfectly sewn and very quickly applied loops every time!

Sewing Doll Clothes Crafty Tip
When sewing doll clothes and making a puff sleeve for a dress, attach the elastic directly onto the sleeve using a zigzag stitch to form the casing instead of creating a casing with additional fabric. This saves time and reduces bulk in the sleeve.
Another great tip when sewing doll clothes and attaching elastic onto a puff sleeve, is to measure the length of elastic and mark with a pencil rather than cutting it. This allows you to hold onto the elastic past the pencil mark and gently pull the elastic as you sew, matching the pencil mark with the end of the fabric. Cut the elastic at the mark only after securing the elastic to the fabric.
