Thank you! 😊

[@DeborahYost-pi9tt]

I like your using men's shirts. I bought a sheet from an outlet store and made 2 long valances and 2 round stand scarves with ruffles from 1 sheet. They wash up great, and I just hang them back up. They are 27 years old and look like they did I made them. There is a lot of material in just 1 sheet. I used sheets for just regular clothes, too.

[@marysmith4479]

I can hear you perfectly, TFS.

[@aprilscraftroom]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@VonnieOdette]

You could use a wallpaper roller if you need to squeeze out the bubbles on the canvas

[@aprilscraftroom]

Thank you Vonnie. That is an excellent idea. 😀

[@kerrywalker3005]

Or a brayer if you have one for papercrafting! @@aprilscraftroom

[@nancy9478]

Or let the mod podge dry, apply the fabric and use a warm iron to reactivate the glue.

[@daisy8297]

Hi April, I am watching you while I wrap Xmas presents at the last minute….like every year🤪 It is now 2.30am on Xmas Day and I am going to toddle off to bed soon for a few hours sleep before the craziness starts! Thank you for all your hard work throughout the year. I eagerly await each of your videos, you are always funny and cheerful and I love your projects. Watching you always makes me smile. Much love to you and your family from Brisbane, Australia 🥰🥰🥰

Painters drop canvas works very well for shopper s tote bags and totes. Quilted or nonquilted.

[@aprilscraftroom]

That is an awesome idea... thanks for sharing

[@beckipugh8124]

WOW! each of those ideas is wonderful. What don't you think of, That canvas idea is fabulous! Have you tried using the Adding Machine Tape for scrap busting? Use the NON-thermal tape and just start sewing scraps of different widths to it, make it as wide as you want, very clever and stress relieving. Merry Christmas!

[@aprilscraftroom]

Great idea! Thank you!

[@wandawalker4191]

Merry Christmas to you and your family!!

Same to you! Thank you for watching my channel!

[@christinehl4310]

I have used the idea of fabric on canvas for a long time. The biggest piece is my headboard that is fabric over canvas and batting in between. It has lasted over 25 years. Finding the 96” canvas was the hardest part. Thank you for the video. Those are great ideas. Guess I should start on them for next Christmas so they would no longer be classified as last minute. Lol. Am using the quick table runner you demonstrated last year. Merry Christmas to you and your family and the fur babies. Hope your granddaughter gets interested in helping you with your sewing/craft projects. 🎄

[@aprilscraftroom]

Aww--- Thank you for sharing this ... as far as my grand daughter ... I sure hope she does too! Thank you for watching my channel

April, I really like all of your last minute gift ideas, BUT I/we need a new house large enough for 10 people! We had a fire on the 8th & our old house is so messed up. One room is left habitable. Do you have one in your pocket? We're working with insurance & Red Cross has been great!

[@fransak2723]

I’ve done the mod podge with scraps of fabric in crazy quilt fashion and applied it to a hefty cardboard box inside and out. I used pinking shears to reduce strings. Thanks for some great ideas here. I found your channel through Sister Chicks. I’ve made myself a few reusable shopping bags from the prequilted fabrics. They have a little insulation value for cold items. My problem is I tend to make them a little big and then they get heavy when full of groceries.

[@aprilscraftroom]

I feel your pain! I do same! Thanks for watching my channel.... Merry Christmas!

[@patriciahomer5342]

Merry Christmas April!

You can make zipper bags out of those quilted pieces left over from quilting

[@aprilscraftroom]

That is a PERFECT idea! Thank you for sharing!

[@donnarice1016]

Your work is always awesome. You share tips and tricks which helps me so much. I love tote bags. Will you please share with me how you keep the bottom of yours from sagging?. Merry Christmas

[@judithburke1539]

Fusible foam??? Ask at your nearest fabric store ☺️.

Love these ideas! Gotta try the most lodge 😄

Please do!

[@carmelkuckelman7380]

Can you do a video (or maybe you have done this already) talking about your long arm? I am thinking about getting some sort of long arm but do not know where to start

[@aprilscraftroom]

I will ... I am currently working on videos to release doing that ... thank you for our comment!

Great ideas. I have a question. Your fabric shelves are so functional looking. ¿¿Can you show us how?? Merry 🎄 Christmas and thanks so much for brightening my year. 🎶💐💖

[@aprilscraftroom]

I did a short on it ... all it is ---- comic book boards ... I wrap my material around and store in the wooden treats... they are from Joann.... I put a link in the description for the comic book boards... I ordered from AMAZON.

These are awesome ideas👍👍🏆 I love the canvas one and the applica...never even thought of that..where did you find a template in the shape of the states? Merry Christmas Ms.April...may your Christmas be merry, bright, and full of chocolate for you.May your new year be blessed and bountiful and you stay safe and healthy 🙏❤️🎄

[@aprilscraftroom]

Thank you so much!!! The state outline was an SVG cut I found on ETSY

[@arvettadelashmit9337]

Toothpaste (not gel) will take crayons off. Top stitching first would be a good idea for me. Where did you get the pattern (template) for the states? I love to work in scraps.

[@judithburke1539]

See if you can find an old road map for the state you need and trace the outline or take it to an office supply store that has a large copy machine and see if they can adjust the size of the outline of the state to meet the desired size.

[@aprilscraftroom]

I just found an SVG on ETSY and used it to cut out a template

[@justicedog3696]

Thank you for your videos, I enjoy them. What are the shelves holding your fabric?

they are wooden creates from Joann --- the material is wrapped around comic book board--- I did a short video on it ... check it out
