    By the way, for those making masks, you don't need bias ties. Ties cut on the straight grain and folded over - with a bias tape maker, if you have one - work just fine and are easier to make.

    Nice. I love the fabric on your ironing board. I’ve been sewing since I was 7. Started with the blind hem stitch by hand then my grandma graduated me to peddle by foot trendle sewing machine. The kind ppl now use tops for a plant stand. Then out came fancy machines. I know have 3 machines including a serger. The thing is if you start to have an interest to sew perfect one thing at a time. I started right off with a collar onto a dress then a maxi coat lined, at age 12. We learned from grandma mom girls club and Nancy notions sewing on saturdays. With out help from tv or net I would hate zippers,thank goodness for videos now for our young viewers or starters out there.Sewing was essential in our home as buying was not in the budget. As a young mom I made my own designs for brides and prom dresses and my kids clothes.Now that my kids are grown I make fun stuff and it’s fn to not have to buy all. Gifts that are well made and unique 1 of Kind are fun.The beauty is now there’s all these nice tools to have like the vidoe has. It’s important to have a mat cutter and rulers for precision. I prefer to roll fabrics on cardboard rolls from fabric stores as not to perm eatery crease fabric which can break down fibers.So to all the young ppl out there tools helps and she showed perfectly how to use measure etc and you save money👍thanks for your videos

    I didn't know you could do something like that. I was doing it a piece at a time. This is much easier. Love it!!
