You are so welcome! This is one of my favorite ways to create. Thank you 🦩

Thank you!

You are very welcome!

You are very welcome! Glad you found it helpful.

You’re very welcome!

Tying shoes is very difficult for those with hand issues. I hope the hemostat variation makes It easier for you.

When you click on the chat a side window should open up on the side of the video. The PC process or view shouldn’t be any different than what I showed on my laptop as far as I know.

Thank you so much! I am so happy you enjoyed it.

Thanks! The coasters were fun to sew. We had Cox for a bit when we first moved here. A Best Buy Employee told me that Verizon Home is the best in the area but hard to get into. He was correct about the difficult part. It took awhile for a space in this neighborhood to open up. I’m digging my heels in with Cox because when I called to cancel they were very rude and told me that I’d be back. 🙄 She said Verizon isn’t very good. Grrr. So annoying when rude people are correct 😉

@rsislandcrafts rude customer service people need to find a new career. Maybe Verizon can do something to improve your connection. Hopefully their employees aren't rude. Good luck.

Thanks! I know a job is a job so to speak but I’ve never understood why people work in customer service when they don’t enjoy talking to random people all day.

Thank you so much! I love a scrappy zipper pouch puzzle. ✂️✂️✂️

You are very welcome. I’m so happy you found my video and enjoyed It. I agree, they make great gifts for friends and family but don’t forget to make one for yourself too. After Christmas 😉✂️✂️

Wait. You want me to leave the house? 😳. It might but then I’d lose that time 2-3 times a week. It’s just so weird. Monday at 3 and It takes three days. Next Monday at 3 and It takes 20 minutes 🤷‍♀️. Wacka-doodle internet.

Thanks! I’ll try that on the next one.

Thanks for the tip!

Some bag makers prefer to put the fusibles on the lining versus the outer bag fabric. I’m also a quilter so if I need to cut lots of fabrics I use a rotary cutter, quilting ruler and cutting mat. If you’re making lots then you can also use electric scissors.

@@rsislandcrafts omg you're like the sweetest KZbinr! Thank you for your quick response! Would you draft like a block and then just place the fabric underneath it to cut?

Thank you you’re very sweet and then I missed this comment. My apologies. I’m not sure what you mean by draft like a block. You could cut out a pattern from a piece of paper or whatever you would like to use. Then use It to cut around on top of your stack of fabrics. Or trace around the top fabric and then cut with scissors etc. It’s not my style of bag making. I don’t use paper patterns. I cut by measurements. It’s because I made quilts before bags. I lay my quilting ruler on 2-4 pieces of fabric and cut with my rotary cutter. When I’m making zipper pouches I rarely make more than one or two out of the same fabric. Which means I tend to cut one piece of fabric at a time. When It comes to the linings I try to use the same fabric for all of my pouches that I’m making that day. Then I can cut multiple at the same time. I like to cut all fabrics on day one. I’ve been using fusible fleece for my simple pouches. I’ll fuse all of the fabrics on day one also. Then when I sit down to sew on day 2 I can crank out a bunch of bags. I tend to make 20 zipper pouches at a time in an assembly line style.

You’re welcome! I hope you enjoyed it.

Perfect timing.

They are fun.

I am on my third time trying to watch, too.😂

Y’all live such busy lives 🤣. I don’t usually see the BSS abbreviation but most videos or patterns do say you need this that and your Basic Sewing Supplies. Sewing machine, thread, scissors, rotary cutter, etc etc etc.

@@rsislandcrafts It is funny...I consider myself a maid to a dog, a general housekeeper. Not a good one at that. And I feel I accomplish so little...it is stop and go out with Copper, oh, he then wants fed...then in a bit I have to fix hubby a snack and take it to him. That is along with a morning full of chores. I just cannot do as fast as I used to. Or if I do, I have to pause and take a break...thus the stopping and starting of videos.

I totally understand. Most chores or whatnots don’t take very long but add them all together and your day has flown by and you’re wiped out.

Sorry you got lost. I thought I gave lots of instructions and showed more than one ornament. You should be able to watch just one section and still get all of the steps. I’m sorry I missed what you needed. It’s an awesome ornament but not a beautiful ornament? I guess It depends on the fabric you choose. Happy Sewing!! 🪡

I watched a video on how chenille yarn is made. It is two thin threads/strings that one machine holds taught while another shoots bits of fiber at the threads. Crazy but interesting.

I like your sock bag. Do you have a tutorial on how to make one?

I do have a video. I a few tutorials for project bags that you can find on my channel. Here is one similar to my turtle turtle sock bag - kzbin.info/www/bejne/mHK5nGSiga-Md8Usi=HS6DO4E8c139gknV

I agree I think that just might be the nature of the yarn unfortunately.

Hi Susan.

I try to make sure all the steps are covered. I want to make sure that everyone who’s new to sewing can follow along. Quick five minute videos aren’t usually suited for beginners.

I completely understand. It does take a few ornaments to figure It out. I like to watch a step in the video. Pause. Try It on my own and then rewatch the step. I know It takes forever but for me It does help. Good luck! You got this.

You are so welcome! 😊

I agree. The felt version can handle double buttons. Thanks for watching!!

😂 I think the creator(s) hoped everyone would laugh.

@ fun!!!

Thank you! 🥰

Thank you. I really love how the front of the pillow turned out. I’m very happy to finally get them finished. Almost 😉

Thank you!

I do not have a specific video for the border but I do have a video that shows how to use one hexie in a quilt block. That shows how to actually machine sew the hexie down. If you prefer to hand aplplique your hexie then you’ll need to find a video about hand appliqué. I can hand appliqué but not as well as those who do It all of the time. Better to watch their videos. I would recommend cutting your border fabric wider than you need It to be. That gives you some wiggle room if anything gets a bit wonky or shifts. I would make a line with a sewing marking tool where I would like the hexies to lay on the border or just fold and iron a straight line. Then put a ton of pins to hold everything in place. If you’ve made a standard quilt then you may already know how to add borders. I like to add both side borders first then the top and bottom borders last. I know the struggle of being a visual learner. I hope that helps you a little.

@@rsislandcrafts thank you so much. Appreciate it

You’re welcome! 🦩

Thank you! I hope you enjoy sewing your own block.

Thanks! The pillow top is from when we were making the community blocks. It’s from my tutorial. 6.5” for each economy block.

Thank you. When It comes to zippers this is a simpler project. I feel it’s less confusing than a zipper pouch because there’s no lining or turning anything right side out. Happy Sewing!! ✂️
