Games similar to the old Nancy Drew Games

When I was a kid I was obsessed with Nancy Drew Treasure in The Royal Tower. I would love to play this again as an adult but I don’t think that’s possible (SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME IF THATS NOT TRUE AND I CAN PLAY IT SOMEWHERE) in the meantime can anyone recommend some cozy mystery games similar to this one? At this point I only have a switch so they will have to be switch compatible. Thanks!

Help with Machine Embroidery over a crotch stain

Edit: forgot to post the photo of the stain. It’s in the comments!

Pulled my favorite pair of jeans out of the wash today to discover I had a small piece of red paper in one of the pockets and it left pinkish stains in several places on the front and the back. I want to machine embroider something over the stains and I have a ton of ideas for the back. However I need some help thinking of something I can put on the front that isn’t going to look like it’s I wet myself or like whatever I embroider is coming out of my crotch…..🙃 oh and btw I have tried 3 different stain removal tricks to no avail…. Thanks in advance!

Total beginner gifted a Janome Memory Craft 350E

Over the weekend I was gifted a Janome Memory Craft 350E along with a kit that includes a ton of embroidery supplies and notions. I am SO excited but genuinely have no idea what i’m doing. I have already read through a fair bit of the manual so I think I will start there and do a few test projects just to get a feel of the machine. Otherwise I have no idea where to begin. If anyone has any recommendations on online classes, books, or any social media creators who make good teaching content please send them my way! I am so excited to learn

ISO Never Fully Dressed - Remi Dress Pattern Dupe

Absolutely obsessed with the fit of this dress but not the price… Looking for a similar pattern because I am interested in making it myself! However if anyone has any experience with this brand and the dress is actually worth that price I am willing to purchase it because I love the pattern and allegedly, this is an exclusive fabric.

Help with steps 11 and 12 on Greenstyles Volare Leggings pattern

I am struggling with these steps in the pattern because the back waistband pieces, C2 and C4, are a bit longer than the front pieces (which you can kind of see depicted in the pictures.) I understand the reasoning behind this as it pertains to the fit of the leggings. However when sewing the two waist band pieces together in step 12 I have an issue with keeping the two pieces aligned correctly and having the excess fabric gather causing my side seams to be misaligned. I’m not quite sure what I am doing wrong or if anyone can give me any tips. When I try to align the pieces and clip them together I cannot get them to line up due to the excess fabric. I have made a mockup and struggled with the same issue with my muslin fabric but didn’t worry much about it because I was just testing the fit. Now that i’m working with my real fabric, which is a spandex material, I want to make sure I do it correctly. I just can’t figure out what I am doing wrong. Any tips appreciated and please let me know if more photos are needed!
