Great demos and suggestions for Christmas gift making!🌲 One important caution tho, please, do not ever use a rotary cutter without a ruler. 💕🧵🧵🧵

A smaller iron is a must. I’ve steam burned my fingers trying to iron smaller pieces.

Not EVERY machine has the flat part facing back so check your machine settings. Which way does yours go?

Thanks! I thoroughly enjoy your tutorials. Not all machines are created equal. My older Singers have the flat side to the left. My Sailrite has the flat side to the right. My newer Singer (30 years old) does indeed have the flat to the back.

How did the bottom magically get stitched all-around? I only see the bottom seam getting stitched?

This is the second video tutorial on these tubes, and neither of you demonstrated using the smallest one. It’s easy to demonstrate the larger one. I’ve tried with the smaller one and all it does is rip holes through my fabric, so it would be nice if somebody could possibly show me if I’m doing anything wrong.

Brilliant. Going to find these. Thank you for the tip ❤

👋👋 Thanks for the review.

Thank you for the video. I have owned the tubes for years and never used them. I will definitely use them now

Have you tried these? What do you use them for? Small investment for a big return!

Thanks for sharing. These are much better than a pin. Sore fingers no more.

I had a job in an industry where I turned sewn fabric belts inside out using a larger scale tube turner that was fastened to the table and it took seconds to turn one. It was spring loaded in order to do mass production. Same principle. I am surprised it took about 50 years to come up with a home tool now. Thanks for sharing.

Is bias tape just folded over cloth sewed over the edge of another piece of cloth?

Love everything you make I’m definitely going to make them all. Thanks for sharing your video. Blessings

Love the tree shirt, stocking, dog collar and dog stocking! Love them! Going to try to do these for a Craft Fair! Thanks for sharing ❤️🇨🇦

New subscriber hun, loving your channel...

What kinds of baby sewing projects would you like to see? LMK!

Thank you for the info

Thanks for this video. Is the foam at the bottom (which becomes the base of the case) sewn together, or does it just come to the bottom and stay open? When you sewed around the whole case with a quarter inch seam I couldn't tell if you intentionally avoided sewing the foam together or if you purposely sewed under it. Thank you again!

I would sew a sand sack permanently sewn closed out of muslin. Then i would use the pretty fabric and sew a removable pillow case. This way, the pillow case can be laundered. These heat packs can get smelly from body oils and perspiration. Thanks for the tutorial.

I’m making this to put my silver trinkets in for the crow party

All are sew zwee3

thank you very much.

Want your little red iron

Just came across this and I set out to make one and finished 4 in no time. I like the boxed corner. Easy directions and very cute when completed.

AWESOME thank you !

I haven't seen you for a couple of months. Glad to ccatch you.

I am a fairly new sewer and just found your channel. I appreciate how well you explained what and why you do things. Great educator!

You can print on the freezer paper. I do it all the time on my inkjet printer.

Your rocking it my friend so proud of you ❤️

Im loving all of them. I'll start with the stockings, then ornaments. Thanks ❤

The hexagon template is listed as 2 1/4” but it looks more like 4-5” across? Is that correct? Thank you

There is another very simple way to gather something. Make sure that the presser foot and throat plate are ones that can be used for a zigzag stitch! These instructions are for someone who is right handed. Measure how long the area is that is to be gathered. Measure a length of 1/16th or 1/8th inch ribbon, or very thin cording, that is 4-5 inches longer than the measured fabric. (If the fabric is 20” long where you want the gathers to be, your ribbon or cording should be at least 24-25 inches long. There is no need to cut the ribbon or cording! It will not remain in the fabric.) Leave a tail, at the beginning, least 2” long. The ribbon or cording should be positioned so that the long loose end is hanging over the front of your sewing machine. Secure the short end that is closest to the back of your machine, by either taking a few stitches into it, or with a pin. Make sure that it cannot be pulled into the casing you are about to sew. Next select the zigzag stitch and a wide width. With your right hand, hold the long length of ribbon or cording near the front of the presser foot. You are going to zigzag over the ribbon or cording, being careful to NOT sew on it! Hold the long end of ribbon or cording so that you keep it centered under the threads that are going to the right and left. (Creating the zigzag stitch.) When you reach the end of the fabric, pull the fabric away from the machine. Cut the threads. Hold the portion of the fabric where you stopped sewing with your left hand. With your right hand, pull the end of the ribbon or cording. With your left hand slide the fabric to the left, creating gathers however tightly or loosely that you desire. Pin the long loose end of the ribbon or cording into the fabric. Change the stitch back to a straight stitch. The stitch length can be 3 or greater. Do a straight line of stitching, beginning at the area of the fabric where you started sewing the zigzag. Stitch slightly to the right of the zigzag stitches. This will keep the gathered material in place. Continue sewing until you reach the end of the gathers. If you used a pin to secure one end of the ribbon or cording, remove it. If you took a few stitches to hold it, carefully remove those stitches, so that the short end of the ribbon or cording is completely loose. Using your left hand hold the fabric at the end where you stopped doing the zigzag stitch. Don’t hold the ribbon or cording. With your right hand pull the ribbon or cording all of the way out. Continue with your project.

I found that dog pattern at HL too…my friend has a Basset Hound and finding fabric with a Basset is almost impossible. What I found had some color. I have some leftover from the tote I made her so I’ll do this for her. I had to do a bit of fussy cutting to get that Basset centered 😂. Thank you.

Could you post a link for the seam ripper? Thanks ! 🙏

Ah HA!!! The narrow seams set the stage for the collar channel, similar to what we did when making masks (channel on each side for the elastic). I plan on making some for the shelter; they give adopted dogs bandanas when they have them (and if the pup is ok with/it). Thanks for an informative tutorial!! 🐶

Is the tree skirt machine washable? I am specifically wondering if the white snaps would come apart. Thank you! I have sewn for nearly 70 years, predominantly garments, but I also do a large variety of craft type sewing. You are a very good teacher. You explain the instructions well.

Excellent instructions! Thank you!

👋👋 ugg decisions 😂😂 Thinking I’ll start with the stocking’s (both)

Making for our 4 great grandkids this year

I’m not finding the link for the printable template???

What will you try first and what other tutorials would you like to see?

Can't tell you how many times I've forgotten the clip......🙄😂

Thank you for a very clear video

Adorei o seu projeto, vou fazer com certeza. Obrigada

Thank you!!!!

I believe I ❤ Tara Reed Designs!

What else should we add to the list??

I’ve been looking for some dog related sewing projects, these look perfect! I’m a beginner and the instructions are really clear. Thanks for sharing. Can’t wait to give some of these a try. 🐶

I’ve been looking for something totally different to make, and this is it! My youngest daughter lives in Australia and has 2 dogs. She will love it!
