    I have made these for a few years now and sell at my local Farmer's Market in Upstate NY, USA. I sell mine for $2 each. This year at my annual Catholic Women's Retreat, I brought the Retreat House 70 of these to use as take away gifts. They were happy to get them. I also make mine from 4" squares and batch sew them, as well. Thanks for sharing this!

    Thanks. I received one of these as a gift from a friend, and have since made my own as gifts. I need a few of my own for my cook books. Thanks, again. Kathleen in Canada.

    They are great and won’t fall out losing your place. Especially for a student or editor, journalist, research etc.

    I was looking through my pile of offcuts only yesterday thinking I’d need to patch them into a larger piece. But now I’ll make a few bookmarks thanks to you.

      I was doing the same Duncan. The scrap pile can be a little overwhelming sometimes😀

    If you make cork or other raw edge fabric projects, these are great scrap busters. No turning necessary. Just cut your shape and stitch. Heart shaped is my favorite.

    • @ChristinesHomeAffairs

      I've never tried cork Cherie, but look forward to trying it out some day😀

    Thank you Christine for another great tutorial 🌺 I have not been sewing for too long. My daughter has been asking me to make her a box pouch type lunch bag with the zip around the top half. Do you think you would be able to make a video showing us how to make one of these? It’s so lovely to watch someone normal that I can relate to! Thank you again 🌺🌺

    • @ChristinesHomeAffairs
      @ChristinesHomeAffairs  6 месяцев назад +3

      Ahh, this is on my to do list Tina. It's one I'm lacking confidence in, but really need to knuckle down and work it out😀

    Good day Christine,you must be a mind reader,yesterday I pulled out my large bag of fabric scraps and was going to throw them away,had made a few of your tissue covers. This project will be awesome to use up my scrap fabric,thank you so much,clever idea.

    • @ChristinesHomeAffairs
      @ChristinesHomeAffairs  6 месяцев назад +2

      It's funny Eve, I pulled my scraps out as well. Then promptly put them all back😀

    I have a lot of small muslin pieces and a heat press. I think I will do a bunch for the family, personalized with their names on for them as gifts.

    Thanks Christine these are a great little project. I made these and made the inner square white and wrote a little message with a pigma pen on the bottom . Fantastic 😊

    Thank you for the quick project. This is what I consider to be a palette cleanser between other projects. That quick and easy feeling of accomplishment prevents burnout.
    Side note, minimum wage is $27?!? In the US it's still $7.25. Absolutely SHAMEFUL! Even with the conversion rate, it's pitiful.

    • @jirup
      @jirup 6 месяцев назад +2

      Your $7.25 is worth $10.96 here, the minimum wage here is $23.23 for people 21 and over, under 21 it's $15.23. Still a sizable difference.

    • @ChristinesHomeAffairs

      "Palette cleanser". I do like that term Bonnie. It is a shame about the wages. It's so difficult for everyone now😀

    I've made some. I did embroidery an initial on a couple of them before I stitched them together.

    You did these a few years ago, didn't you? It's where I learned they were a thing

    • @ChristinesHomeAffairs
      @ChristinesHomeAffairs  6 месяцев назад +2

      I did Sharon, though slightly different. This version is much quicker.
      Good memory 😀

    I tried making some like this, but I need to work on my top stitching. It was soo crooked lol
    I was also trying to use up some acrylic felt I had sitting around to make them stiff

    • @ChristinesHomeAffairs
      @ChristinesHomeAffairs  6 месяцев назад +1

      Your top stitching will get better with practice Suzy. Trick is to watch where you're going, not watching the needle😁
