gold feathered Nessie top-made with my new silhouette cameo!

gold feathered Nessie top-made with a silhouette cameo!

I have a new baby guys! Ok, a totally electronic baby, but it’s so awesome and makes goo goo ga ga sounds.

just kiddin.

The lovely folks over at Silhouette send me a Cameo to play with, and having had the SD for years, I knew I’d be a fan.

aaaand…I am. I’ll admit I was a little intimidated and it didn’t come out of the box for a little while, but once I forced myself to open it, it wasn’t so scary!

The software is the same as I was used to, and it has a much larger area to cut, which was super nice.

Plus! It can cut fabric!

Revolutionary.

I shoved this thick gold stuff onto the fabric mat and it cut it out, like a boss!

I did double cut it (there’s a setting for that), just to be sure.

Then I sewed around the edges of the feathers with some purty gold thread, onto a new Nessie for Sadie!

She still  loves feathers, so this was another fun addition to her first grade wardrobe!

I also whipped up a pair (actually 4 pair) of go to leggings.(affiliate link)….I adore this pattern, can’t say that enough.

They even have a tag on my blog, I’ve made so many of them!

This girl is all about the glitter and shine lately so she loves it!

I can’t wait to make more stuff with my Cameo!

  3. My daughter would love that gold fabric! What is it and where did you get it? So glad you got a CAMEO! I can’t wait to see all the parties and cute clothes that are going to come from it!

    • I have no idea what kind it is, but I got it at Joanns I think in the costume fabric section! it’s thick and so fun!

  4. How did you sew around them? Is it a special setting on your machine? Did you tack them down first?

    I bought mine almost a year ago and im still intimidated by it……

    Having that bigger cutting space must be nice. I bought the portrait because I didn’t think I’d need all the room, but There is so much MORE you can do with the cameo!
