- Join me whilst I decide on what to do with some upholstery samples. I'll try to decide what type of bags to make, and also ensure that I use it all up, instead of putting it back in my stash.

All the bags turned out really cute. I always love hearing how you decide what to do. Look at your subscriber numbers -- Over 80K. You will have that 100K plaque hanging on your wall in no time. Thanks for sharing with all of us.
Haha, thanks Cynthia. The next 20k is going to take me most of the whole year, but certainly looking forward to that plaque😀
I got a truck load of sample fabrics last year taking ur advice. And every week I love going through them to get inspired by them. Thank you for the help and I love watching your channel.
That's awesome. I want a special truck load like that. ❤
@@judywiggins5092 Me too, where do you find them?
I got lucky that time, I'm always looking to find more. I hope you get lucky too.
What a great score Angelica. You'll have loads of fun with those😀
@@ChristinesHomeAffairs Definitely 😁
I love watching you create things as you go! It inspires me to make something with my stash!
That's wonderful. Thank you so much😁
I always find your instruction to be one of the best on RUclips. You've inspired me to purchase zipper strips. It makes so much more sense than the traditional zippers. I am going to try the tape and tabs. Thank you Christine; again, you're the best!!!
That's awesome Irene. Hope they work well for you😀
Beautiful work! Love to see you sew and your explaining as well.👍
Thank you Genoveva 😁
I am always totally amazed at your ingenuity!
Thank you Mary😀
I enjoyed seeing this video where you made something beautiful and useful out of scraps! It’s nice that the colours all coordinated. 👏
Thanks Barbara. I do like that the companies coordinate the fabric for me😀
Love these bags & the way you create. So inspiring 😊
Thank you so much Bev🙂
Great way to get creative. Thanks Christine. I always Iove watching you create and your thought process. Xx
Thanks Christine. It's a fun way to sew😁
I love the way you organize the steps in the project to streamline the work. Efficiency is the key to getting more done.
What a shame so much beautiful fabric had to be lost.❤
It was a shame Valerie. They were such great colours😀
Bag came out beautifully. Love your videos. You’re honest and thorough. Love it!
Thank you Kristen😀
Love these and how you share sewing tips!❤
Thank you Carol😁
Your amazing Christine I just love what you do and your so practical ❤
Thank you Ann😀
Great video, I really enjoyed your sew a long. Thank you😊
Thanks Bridget😀
I enjoy your videos... love your creativity🙂
Thank you RJ 😊
I love seeing your thought process for how to use leftover fabric. Great ideas!
Thanks Brenda😁
You're an absolute genius Christine, love these bags made from very little to start with, inspirational!
Thanks so much Claire😀
Great use of your samples. I've also 'made it up as I go' when creating pouches. Doesn't matter if they all turn out different sizes. I really must get back to my sewing, especially the beautiful samples I've been hoarding. Thanks Christine for showing how you do it 😍
Thanks Lesley. It's one of my favourite ways to sew. Just make it up as I go😁
🪡🪡🪡🪡🪡🌟👝👝👝 awesome winging it🪡🪡🪡🥰🥰🙂
Thanks Joy. My favourite type of sewing😁
These came out great. Some denim or light canvas would have made a nice contrast to the velour fronts.
Great idea Teresa. Thank you😀
Love those little pouches. You should sell them easily. Lovely use of your donated fabric. Thanks Christine..😊
I hope so Janet. Thank you😀
Love that you are concerned about not wasting fabric to landfill Christine…..a high five for you!! 🥰 A question…….how do you fuse batting to velour or flocked fabric without damaging it or making marks?
Thanks Margie. I use a teflon sheet or baking paper when fusing all my fabric. It protects the fabric, and the heat press😀
That one zipper pull on wrong side. Just market that one as a left handed bag!
What a great idea😀
All the bags look great and I love the way you've co-ordinated the colours of the smaller pieces, I'm sure they'll all sell well. Thank you for sharing and explaining the process so well xxx
My pleasure Pauline. Thank you😀
Really great video to let the fabric dictate the size of the bag! Thank you!🥰
Thanks Sue. It takes the stress out of what I should make😀
Another great video thanks Christine now i know why my boxed corners didnt work real well will be fixing them up soon
I still do it all the time Pamela😀
Cute bags and good use of scrap materials. Box bag was really cute.
Thank you Dorothy🤗
Another great idea and tutorial. Good way to use up some odd pieces of fabric.
Thanks Karen😁
Yes, I appreciate seeing your creative process. Thank you.
Thanks kay😀
Pleased to see your patching pieces. Though I really like the boxy bag.
When I get the sewing bug and nothing in mind I raid my off cut stash and patchwork them randomly and decide what they’ll be another time.
After not having quilted for many years, it was nice to do a few pieces in this one Duncan. Might inspire me to do more😁
Love, love, love the pink/orange one.
Thanks for the video, Christine.
Hugs from Nevada,
Cathy❤
That was my favourite too Cathy😁
Very pretty 😍 Love all your work. Thank you for sharing 😊Blessings always 😊
Thanks so much Anita😊
This was a fun view. Sometimes it’s just fun to Sew by the Seat Of Our Pants! lol. Pricing? I’m guessing you could easily make a pouch in 15 mins (average), a quarter of your hourly rate is appx $11.25 -12.00, plus a bit for zips, thread, tags. So maybe $15-18 small pouch & $20-22 reddish pouch. Boxy Bag $25-27. I tried to do this in AUS dollars but my math is probably off. I should’ve done it in US$ and converted it. lol. Personally I would easily pay $25 US for any of these and feel very good about it! But now, when I do the conversion, and turn 25 US into Australian dollars, I get 38.50! I’m sure glad I’m not the one who has to figure this out. They all look great Christine. ❤
Guess I’m the only Dodo who took a crack at figuring pricing. And I’m sure I got it all wrong! 😂
haha, you did really well Cyn. I love that you worked out my hourly rate and production ratio, as well as all the other bits. The pricing was pretty spot on too. I think I priced the smaller ones at $20 each, and the larger at $25😀
Great video, really interesting to see your design process. Thanks for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed it Jackie. Thank you😀
Big Easter 🐣 love ❤️ I send to you , you cute little bunny 🐰 ,you !
Greetings from Germany 🇩🇪 😀 😂❤😂❤ keep on coming with those great ideas 💡
Happy Easter to you too. 😀
Very nice! I particularly like the big one. And I learned something about preparing my zippers.
Thanks Linda. It was my favourite too😁
these are great- love how your mind works
Thank you Joyce😁
I’m in love with the green/teal paisley
They're great colours Shawn😁
The bags turned out beautifully. Thank you Christine and belated Happy Easter
Thank you so much Mrs M. 😀
Another great video Christine, these ones are very colourful and eye catching, should walk out of the shop, Hope Easter trading was kind to you and Chris.
Thanks Faye. We had a very busy weekend at the shop😁
Those are really cute! I bet they sell quicker than the one fabric ones.
I hope so Brenda. Thank you😁
Thank you for this video! I have a box of these samples and never thought to make pouches. Have a Blessed Easter time.
You're very welcome. Thank you😀
Really fun video watching you work! And the bags turned out great. Happy Easter.
Thanks so much Diana😀
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thanks Helen😀
Love them! I would have given up when the fabric was damaged!
Thanks Sara. The control freak in me, wouldn't let it beat me😀
Hope you had a Happy Easter. 🌷
It was very bisy Kris. Thank you😁
Christine, you might consider putting the solid color pieces together in a patchwork pattern for the front of a bag with the solid color on the back. I had a purse made like that and I always got compliments when I carried it. The back of my bag was black.
Thanks Wilma. I do this on some of my projects too😁
They look great! 😊
Thanks Rebecca😁
in a perfect world, ALL the manufacturers would use exacty the same glue that steams off easily, all swatches would be the same size, and the books they come in could be easily dismantled. in a perfect world. but we're always up for a challenge.
Totally agree. I sent eight emails to companies about the glue. Not one responded😀
Brilliant!!!!👍🏼
Thank you Mayra😁
Love your channel!
Thank you Janice😁
❤ your ideas. Thanks
Thanks Sheila😀
Yes, it's helpful!
Wonderful. Thank you😀
Great use of unique swatches! So sad velvety fabric fares the worst, would a soak or spritz of lukewarm water be a option for removing the nasty labels?
I keep thinking about removing old wallpaper 🤓 thanks for sharing!
I should have used the heat press. I might have been able to salvage a little more of the fabric😁
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you Heidi 😁
❤
Thanks Diane😀
I sometimes receive yardage of furnishing tapestry fabric. It’s rather bulky to sew with. If you could come up with some ideas for quick sew tote bags using this fabric I would like to see that. I mostly donate bags to a womens refuge but sometimes sell them cheaply as well. I’m thinking some type of market bags made from this fabric might sell ok.
Christine I did a video a few months ago where I made 35 tapestry bags with furnishing fabric. Most of the videos will be suitable though as I tend to use upholstery fabric for all my shop stock😁
I LOVE those! I love making bags in between large projects. And I have some swatches I got from an upholstery shop that was cleaning out, so.... you've inspired me! 🙂
That's awesome Aimee. I love working with samples😁
You must have humidity where you are that helps with removing the paper labels and edging from fabric samples. Where I am in N. California, I have to mist the fabric and scrape off the paper backing since whenever I get the samples, they are very dry. Nice to see your process! What size zips are you working with for this project? I guess #5YYK. If the flocking is that delicate, I would price them lower to reflect that. Maybe $15 or even $12
It's usually quite dry here Amrita. These were old, so I think the glue wasn't as adhesive. I'd have had better success using the heat press though😁
Hy Christine was wondering why you used interfacing as you dontt usually with upholstery fabric??
These ones were a bit floppy without it Jacqui. Good pick up. I thought it should have a bit more body😀
Where did you get this sample swatches from?
It's out of a huge lot of fabric I got a while back. This was the video 😊
ruclips.net/video/zEAIa8JtZio/видео.html
am looking for a carry bag for a pickle ball paddle -- any ideas please???
I'd need a bat to make a template Kath. Perhaps I'll do one for my table tennis bat. The concept would be the same, just slightly different size😁
Hi Christine. Where do you get your swatches from? Do I just go to upholstering places and ask for it? 😊
Yes you do Christine. I have a few videos in my "Free fabric" playlist that will help😀
Can you please tell me where you got the zipper pulls you added? Thank you, Gloria
I get mine from Amazon. There'll be a link to the products I like in the description😀
No pics, she’s greatly improved in her handstands, they re not consistent, but she did several straight and held for a few seconds. There’s 6 in her group and they did each “event” individually with waiting turns. It went quickly because of the small class. Her attention span is improving. It went 2 hours. Grand did well also!
Hmmm, did you see me doing some calisthenics Sandi?🤣
Christine, after seeing your reply I was confused, probably no more than you. My comment turns ou to be the missing elusive text to my daughter😂😂😂
@@IMOO1896 haha, that's hilarious 😂
Why not get an intern to help you organize all your fabric by the colour wheel?
Zee, If I did that, they'd be the ones having all the fun. 😁
