CRAFT FAIR SERIES 2024| UPDATE ON THE JAR OPENERS! EASIER!

• CRAFT FAIR SERIES 2024...

I make them too. 6 inch square. I use muslin and a print fabric and drawer liner. I do sew an X from corner to corner, seems to help with fabric shifting. I don't use tissue paper either. And I straight stitch with less pressure on the pressure foot. Great way to use up scraps.

[@lynneferraccio8843]

Ohhh, I like the X!!! I just made a few but will start doing that on my next group!!!!!

[@CraftyCraftsByDeanna]

Awesome!

[@brendahamrick9337]

How lucky you are to have your sister.I lost my last sister a year ago last January.I had three sisters and have none now.Some days are bad and some are ok.I love how you easily explain your project.

[@KarenLeanneCreates2024]

I love this!My Mom suggested that I make sets of 3, in 3 sizes.She likes the little ones in her purse for water bottles. I just cut up a stack of 7, 5 and 4 inch squares, but need to buy the shelf liner. I also like the idea of securing the layers with an X on the diagonals!❤ Glad you overcame needing to pick out tissue paper!

[@Tobywedinikki]

Thank you for the idea of doing a smaller one to open drink n water bottles. I have RA n this is a GREAT idea.

[@CraftyCraftsByDeanna]

Thank you

[@mregister3945]

Love the idea of water bottle sized ones! ❤

[@carolegilbert5271]

I love the idea of sets!

[@lutishahill1393]

@@mregister3945 what size is water bottle square?

[@garnetcrites8959]

keep your needle done when you make your turns ten you won’t have to worry about your thread coming loose. Great video.

[@judymorris2990]

Thank you Deanna. That’s why I love your channel. I make things to sell as well. And, I love how you give your price because that helps me. I never know how to price my goods.

[@SharonBell6123]

I didn’t hear what she prices them at! What did she say? Thank you

[@pjfoltz8810]

I love those fabrics, especially the flowers!

[@SashaFielding]

I would maybe try to (masking tape or painters tape) tape the tissue paper or a piece or parchment paper to the flat side of the sewing machine so you don’t have to worry about it moving while you’re sewing? Also I use a chopstick to push out corners if you don’t have an unsharpened pencil 😊

[@geraldineself6017]

These are very cute and useful. At the corners, it would be useful if you leave your needle down. Have a blessed day.

[@SewingInTheMountains]

I use one of the thin plastic cutting sheets/boards from the dollar store Taped on my machine when working with the shelf liner. I have also used a piece of the plastic type file folder. Slides right over both.

[@lindab2144]

Very cute fabrics. Thanks for sharing your instructions.

[@tambrayork1652]

I love your Sew Awesome on your sewing machine.

[@CraftyCraftsByDeanna]

Thank you so much!

[@shellyhansen5279]

I haven't seen this before. A great way to use up scraps. Also you can use parchment paper to press the top of the fabric after turning. I also use a thin flour sack towel to press. Thank you for this idea!

[@pjfoltz8810]

For new sewers, you need to show how you layer the fabric before sewing. I love these! Quick and easy!

[@CraftyCraftsByDeanna]

m.kzbin.info/www/bejne/pJfIq6doYpuof7M Watch this one. I had showed all the steps start to finish. Thank you for watching!

[@marshiahobson3727]

I use the thinner drawer liner from DT w/o the open waffle (looks like vinyl fabric) then you only need 1 square of fabric since you can’t see the wrong side of the print fabric. My Janome 15000 sews through the outer layers w/o tissue paper but if you have a walking foot or even feed foot you could batch sew all the top stitching w/o taping the tissue paper to your machine. I like the diagonal stitching too but couldn’t figure out how to sew all 4 edges and the diagonal lines with one continuous sew.

[@patnichol1275]

Just a thought. I might just cut everything with pinky shears and sew around. Love the idea!

[@CraftyCraftsByDeanna]

It would save turning

[@cynthiamccoy845]

I'm so glad you came up with the non tissue! I want to make a bunch for gifts and this will help a lot! Love all you do, Thanks Deanna!

[@CraftyCraftsByDeanna]

You are so welcome!

[@joycecrosby4000]

Have you thought of using a teflon foot? That way you could sew with the rubber backing on top and no need for the tissue paper on the sewing machine.

[@deborahcook3707]

Great problem solving. Love these.

[@CraftyCraftsByDeanna]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@nikkicombs5412]

I'm going to try a Teflon sheet instead of the tissue paper.

[@sudhajana9188]

Wow, this is a good idea too. Instead of using tissue paper all the time, this is better.

[@cathyjorgensen8900]

Thanks for your new tips.

[@CraftyCraftsByDeanna]

My pleasure 😊

[@lindakennedy5508]

Great project! I’m going to try it.

[@sharonschaefer5575]

Great idea with the tissue paper. Those are so cute

[@CraftyCraftsByDeanna]

Thank you! 😊

[@marysickler3913]

Love your projects. I use a letter opener to corners out and go around the insides. It doesn't have a sharp point and the length of it helps with bigger projects. I got mine at Walmart for a dollar. Years ago got my 1st and favorite one from our realtor. Sadly, my dog chewed it up.

[@CraftyCraftsByDeanna]

Thanks for the tip!

[@jolenemadaffari1631]

These are so cute. Love the kool-aid man !

[@CraftyCraftsByDeanna]

Glad you like them!

[@marlagriffith3144]

Try leaving your needle down when you turn your corners, much easier and neater.

[@juliebatista6666]

Those are cute as well and the zig zag worked better I think.❤

[@CraftyCraftsByDeanna]

Thank you! 😊

[@tanyawiley]

Hi Deanna. You mentioned packaging at the end of your video. I struggle with this all the time when prepping for craft fairs. I am just not creative 🤦🏽‍♀️ Do you have any tips/suggestions on how I could package tea towels? It’s the type that goes over your oven door handle. I can send you a picture if you like.

[@1954evelyn]

I am wondering if a walking foot would work better? I got my rug liner yesterday I haven't tried one yet. But also wondering if I cut a hole out of a piece of Teflon sheet that I use for heat pressing, just enough to let my presser foot and feed dogs through and tape that sheet to my machine, if that will keep it from sticking. I have done that before with other things like leather I sew.

[@daisydebcrafts]

I would add a topper to the clear bags! I love these!

[@CraftyCraftsByDeanna]

Great tip!

[@georgiasciacca2448]

What if you sewed with the fabric side down and use a teflon foot on the top?

[@SharonBell6123]

I love these! How much do you price them at?

[@amyyoshikawa7698]

Hi Crafty Deanna very beautiful jar openers I like all the springy patterns of fabrics you have used lots of luck in your next craft fair 👍🌈🌸

[@maryl9601]

Love these. Wonder how much you charge for them

[@tammysikora4733]

Super cute!

[@SusanSheehy]

Great idea! How often should I be changing my needle?

[@CraftyCraftsByDeanna]

I usually change mine about every other project. If it is sewing well I don’t. Some people say after each project.

[@jaddascraftyworld2353]

I see these and I see a magnet inside them to hang them on the fridge. But I use a walking foot

[@DoonieFaye1950]

What type and size needle is best for sewing these?

[@vickiel914]

I only use 1 layer of fabric and 1 of the gripper stuff. It works well for me! I struggled with the gripper sticking to my machine, so I'll try the tissue paper trick!

[@CraftyCraftsByDeanna]

Enjoy!

[@lilliebonds2482]

We shop at the same fabric store!! I have some of that same fabric!!

[@CraftyCraftsByDeanna]

Oh cool!

[@ptownballer2027]

Where did you get your materials?

[@lilliebonds2482]

I got mine at Hobby Lobby’s

[@joannsanders242]

I didn’t see your layering process. Did you lay both pieces of fabric face down? Do you need 2 layers for the thickness? Cute idea!!

[@ellenmorley1104]

I only used one layer of fabric why two- thanks for sharing

[@mymai5859]

Sandwich shelf liner in the middle of 2 pieces of fabric. Bottom fabric - good side faces up. Top fabric- good side faces down. Sew around perimeter but leave a small section unstiched for turning. After turning, iron top fabric. Zigzag stich around edge. To avoid shelp liner sticking to sewing machine-: tape down tissue paper; baking paper or plastic file folder wrapped around a thin plastic cutting board.

[@mymai5859]

@@ellenmorley1104 Deanna in the vid uses 2 pieces of fabric. 1 piece turns over to be the top fabric, the other 1 can be seen through the gaps of the shelf liner & covers the raw edges from view.

[@mymai5859]

@@ellenmorley1104 It's also perfectly fine to use only 1 piece of fabric, still works. Personal preference on whether you use 1 or 2 pieces of fabric.

Hey, that's cute

I know why you top stitch the closure and around the square but, have you ever thought to sew two sides or one line down the center?

[@maraleepaulus6605]

Is there any other way I can make these I don't sew and I don't have a sewing machine?

[@atticusk8548]

You could try folding down the edges of the fabric 1/4", putting it together with the shelf liner and then using fabric glue (fabritac) around the edges to close and maybe you could go over it all with a small hand stitch using a needle and thread. You could use paper clips or binder clips or clothes pins to go all the way around the edges until the fabric glue dries. Should work imo.
