Awww thank you for this comment 🤗

My Grandma used to make clothes for my sister's Barbie and my Skipper. Such patience she had. Also made our dresses for school😊

I MUST make these elves for the little people in life. I am well past 70 years, and I was given the original elf on the shelf in the 50s. I always found the face a little creepy (and maybe it's been changed by now) but I still have that original. I am anxious to make these because they are so much sweeter. Thank you.

Personally I couldn't stand elf on a shelf, came to detest it. I love elves though and yours are adorable.

Oh my goodness!!!! Those dolls are so adorable!!!! Thanks for sharing all the tips as well.

Very cute elves! I can see they can easily be turned into fairies too.

Adorable elves. Nikki you are the best. I find myself smiling when I watch you. 🎶💐💖🫂

Congratulations Niki on your KZread Button, I haven't noticed it before, I love your channel , and thank you for helping me with quilting a big quilt from one of your other video's . I love your dolls they are so very cute, one day I will try to make one. Narelle.

Thank you so much! 😊

I would love to find instructions for simple Barbie clothes. My sister made a box full for me one Christmas. She was 10 years older than me and was so great at sewing.

Adorable

Thanks for these tips! I could have used the clothes tips for a "shirt mug-holder" thing I made with tiny sleeves LOL. Also, Elf on the shelf is creepy AF, my kids were the right age but I refused, Santa just knew.

😆 you’re so right

I am currently watching on my TV but had to stop and comment. In the video where you are showing starter and end pieces, and how not to get your materials sucked down into your machine. I was piecing these two very small pieces together and it sucked down into the hole in my needle plate AND bent it! 😮 I've got another one on order should be here Friday, hopefully that takes care of it or I'll be making a trip to the repair shop. I picked up some machine oil today, figured I'd give her a good cleaning and oil while we waited. 😢 It will be okay, it will be okay, it will be okay. I had just gotten my sewing stuff semi situated and been able to use my newish machine. Found you on KZread and your videos have encouraged me to try wonky quilts or at least blocks. So far I've made 6 Mason Jar Cozy for the 4th of July. ❤

I got my plate early and just put it on.... Yay!🎉 I'm back in business. ❤️ I just made my first start and going to do me end block next but had to tell you!!! ❤

Thank you, peachy peach. Lots of helpful ideas. I love elves and have lots my grandmother made in the 1950s which I adore. I'm not sure why you'd make your elf on the shelf do naughty things when you have little kids. I just don't get it. I can see it being funny with your teens. Our elves are all sweet and can be touched and played with. 🥰

I never had trouble with my machine sucking my fabric in with my original Singer machine because I had a single hole throat plate. Evidently sewing machine companies thinks that foot plate was not worth making for newer machines, because my new Pfaff does not offer one. I miss it terribly. Thanks for the tip!!

My Janome does have one, but I always forget to take it out and play with it! I’ll try it today.

My Janome machines have the single hole plates included as well. The sensors know which plate is being used so there’s no needle breakage thank goodness.

TFS. Remember in the future grandkids would love to play with the nativity set around Christmas. Just saying it comes faster then you think😊

Just absolutely LOVE this ❤ Even though I don't have young kids or grandkids, I think I'll make some for the Toy Drive or to donate ❤ Thanks for Christmas in July Nikki🎄

So stinking cute😊

These are the cutest! I purchased the other doll pattern during your sale. I’m hoping to start making one in the next week or so. I have been gathering supplies. I would love to make 3 before Christmas. 🎄

“ Great video! “Sucking the fabric into the machine” indeed! I really don’t like when that happens. Didn’t know what leaders and enders were until recently. Man, do they help!!!! I’m going to get a hemostat. This pattern is adorable. Thanks.

@SharonRStudio…check out Harbor Freight if they are in your area. I found a set of 4, I think, clamps for less than any at fabric/hobby stores. There were a couple different angles and tips and I really like them. There are several videos on YT with ideas for hobby/sewing items from HF.

I love your doll patterns, I’ve made grandparents, ballet dancer and mermaid. I have been told my daughter not to make an elf on the shelf cos you have to remember to move it every day. She has a friend who sends the elf on a spa holiday mid December!! 🤣😂, but I may just need to make one for me! ❤

You are so informative and such a joy to watch!

Omg they are so cute. I'm excited about Christmas in july series. I'm definitely getting the pattern ❤

To turn small tubes, i take a solid straw and a chopstick

Just adorable!!! Another awesome pattern!!

Anytime of year is a good time to work on seasonal quilts. Let's face it, sometimes it takes a while to find just the right project & then the time to complete it may not work 2 weeks before the Holiday.......Yep, that's the way it works sometimes.

Very cute, grading seams also helps with bulky small seams. We have a elf on the shelf which keeps my husband on his best behaviour😂

Hi Nicole, I really enjoyed watching your video on making dolls or sewing small things. For years I made Barbie and Ken clothes for my niece and then I started making them to sell in a store I had a big newspaper ad done in the Palm Beach Post years ago I sold quite a few until the store moved, I miss it to some degree, my hobby now is Quilts and Bible reading/study.

So stinkin' cute!

Great tips, sewing small things can be so frustrating!

Sew Cute!!! You are so talented!

I like the idea of sewing flat!!!!

I was just thinking last night that I need to get started on making a doll for my daughter's birthday. Then I got to thinking how difficult all the tiny seams on the clothes would be and I got overwhelmed by the idea. Then you uploaded this video this morning! Haha Also, I recently heard someone call leaders and enders thread bunnies. I thought that was just the cutest name! Thank you for making wonderful videos! I look forward to watching each one!

We call them bunny tails!! That may just be a Southern thing.

I have a container of 2" squares that I use for leaders/enders. One day I'll have enough sewn together for a Postage Stamp quilt

Not a fan of Elve on a shelf. But your doll is super cute. I think the craft stores sell holiday stuff so earlier is, some stuff takes a long time to complete.

Adorable!

The elves are adorable! Off topic here, but please tell me the brand and color of your nail polish - I love it!
