Glad it was helpful! If you are interested in making some for charity, visit our website www.craftingchange.org we always need more folks to join us in helping those in need!

We love sharing our ideas! A lot of research went in to this project so we are only introducing items that will help people!

You're welcome! We hope you have fun making one! We have many partner charities in need of totes just like this if you want to craft more for charity! Visit our website www.craftingchange.org to learn more!

That is so wonderful, they will be so appreciated!

I'd love to see what you do!

Hello and thanks for your comment. You are cutting off the back of the shirt under the yoke and then sewing it on as a backing to the front of the shirt. The point of this item is to be an adult bib. In order to function in this way it must be thicker than 1 layer of shirting. Having it be just the single layer of flannel shirt isn't strong enough to do what our charity partners need. Watch at 2:01 to see where to cut off the back of the shirt. Then watch at 3:05 when Carol attaches the cut off back of the shirt to the front. It is important that any Dignity Bib has two layers and is thick enough to protect the clothing of the person wearing it. I hope this clears up why we take the time to make it 2 layers. 😀

They never come back and answer the questions

The pattern is by Luna Wolf; She took her blog down, but gave us permission to host it on our website here: www.craftingchange.org/theyonkofaproject; If you are wanting the 3D templates for that pattern, our friends at Adam & Carolyn Creates on Etsy make them here: adamandcarolyncreate.etsy.com. You can buy the full set, but the 9" one is the most useful!

Sorry, we don't have a pattern with elastic because our medical advisor requested ties because elastic can not be autoclaved. During the height of the pandemic, a lot of this type of PPE was getting sterilized that way. You likely could play with this pattern and with only a slight modification across the back, use elastic.

@@CraftingChange Thank you for your response.

I agree, perhaps it wasn't the best serge there on our video, we got a bit anxious to share this great tip. We are volunteers at a nonprofit, not professionals. But generally speaking, when you flip your fabric and you sew back that 2nd time, it will be just as close to your fabric and look great. 99% of the time ours does too!

Such a great tip! So glad to know folks learning on their new machines know from the start!

It's great to secure them in some way. This is a really fast way to do it!

With the stiffer fabric of a feed bag, I would do #4. What are the dimensions of your feed bags? Crafting Change does a lot with feed bags as one of our charity partners loves them, so we sew and donate a lot of them. Ours are usually about 21-22" tall or so. For our feed bags, it is easiest to do method 4 since the fabric is slippery. Box it with the triangle and do 4". After you have sewn the straight line, you can cut off the extra if you like. I prefer to just let the tabs remain on the inside, or you can also simply tack them down. The larger the square, the wider the bottom will be. So to have a taller, narrower bag, cut it at 3 1/2". For a shorter, but wider bottom bag, cut it at 5". It is really your preference! Hope that helps. Would love to see a picture of your finished bags.

@@CraftingChange thank you so much! I will try this again and send you a picture! I’m donating them to our food pantry.
