[@BoojiePanda]

Thank you Jennifer!! Another wonderful and easy tutorial. :) A video tutorial that no one seems to have is a lace zipper tutorial. Those are so girly, and would look stunning on makeup bags or pouches! Lace zippers are just so pretty!

[@ShabbyFabrics]

+Sherry Buras thank you for the great recommendation! We will add it to our list!

[@wayfarinstranger2444]

I made this and store my wonder clips in it. Love it!!!

[@ShabbyFabrics]

Yay! That is awesome to hear! We love this little catch-all tray- so handy :) Thanks for watching!

[@gloriawojo7414]

This is exactly what I need to keep me from 'losing' scissors, rotary cutters, flexion pens, etc. while I'm cutting, hooping and sewing. I have not sewn for 30+ years but you have gotten me sewing again. All of your instructions are so clear and you speak slowly enough to enable me to follow along easily. Thank God for your tutorials and for you.

[@ShabbyFabrics]

Thank YOU so much for watching and for your awesome comment! So happy this tutorial was helpful to you!

[@Saucyakld]

Gosh, they are so good, made three and wondered what I did before without them. Only used boring plastic leftover plastic food trays so out they went in the recyclable bin. Many thanks xx

[@ShabbyFabrics]

So happy you are loving these!!

[@1tinac]

Oh I am crazy about these. Thanks for sharing.

I made similar trays but used Velcro in corners so I could flatten out. I use as travel trays and when staying in a hotel or motel I use the trays to keep my watch and keys, etc. together so when I leave in the morning and pack up the trays I know I will not leave anything at the hotel because if the tray is empty, the items are packed for travel.

[@ShabbyFabrics]

+Mary Coombe velcro at the corners is a great idea and what a creative way to be sure you didn't leave anything at your hotel. Thank you so much for watching!

[@kathynyberg4444]

wonderful little trays! have you ever considered adding timtex or stitch n shape to give it a little more body? I have used it when embroidering little bowls and they come out great!

[@ShabbyFabrics]

+Kathy Nyberg we found that the fusible fleece added enough body for us in this particular project, but you could certainly use either of those products if you have found that you like them!

[@jenapope8814]

Love these !

[@ShabbyFabrics]

+Jena Pope thank you for the love!

[@tressiecarter8809]

So so cute ❤️👍🏻

[@ShabbyFabrics]

+tressie carter thank you so much!

[@lindalai9092]

You can sew the sides inside instead of outside for a different type of bowl.

[@ShabbyFabrics]

That's a great tip, thank you for sharing that with us! - Morgan

[@bobbiepesson80]

We're glad you like this project! 💖 -Michelle

[@suecberry]

Cute!

[@ShabbyFabrics]

+susan berry thank you so much!

[@patriciaberne613]

I was able to make the adorable trays with the squares, but I could not figure out how to make the rectangular tray. Could you please give me some tips?

[@ShabbyFabrics]

Hi Patricia - We can certainly try to help you with this. Can you please tell us some more information, like which part of the project you feel like you're experiencing difficulty? -Michelle

[@patriciaberne613]

Thank you for responding. I wanted to make a rectangular tray or box. Just a small one. Working with a square was fine. It was when I tried to work with a rectangle. I saw the cute rectangular box on your table and wanted to make one like it. Thanks. Pat Sent from my iPhone

[@lauriestewart3700]

what is the marking pen you use called and where can I get one? can you use it in white fabric?

[@BoojiePanda]

+laurie stewart That's a Frixion pen (erasable ink pen), and you can get them just about anywhere (office supply stores, Walmart, Amazon... anywhere).

[@ShabbyFabrics]

+laurie stewart that is a FriXion pen! Here is a link to our selection: bit.ly/FrixionPenShabbyFabrics

[@ShabbyFabrics]

+Sherry Buras thanks for helping us out! Here is a link to the pens on our site: bit.ly/FrixionPenShabbyFabrics

[@Threadystitchsew]

What is your mega cutting mat called for me to purchase

[@ShabbyFabrics]

Hi Jessica, ours is the 40X60 Pinnable Mat - 40 x 60 Mat with 36 x 56 inch grid. - Morgan

[@evonnalynn5743]

What type of magnets do you use?

[@ShabbyFabrics]

Great question! It does not look like we use any particular type of magnet. I am sure what you can find at your local craft store or online should work. ;) - Beth

[@angelaharding1197]

I'm thinking for hot rolls for the diner table

[@ShabbyFabrics]

+angela harding so creative and useful!

[@denisecorley7568]

I never thought of this for use in the kitchen. What a great idea! Thanks.

[@ellynsillick-nash9197]

What kind of pen are you using for marking?

[@ShabbyFabrics]

That is a FriXion pen: www.shabbyfabrics.com/Marking-Pens-C4179.aspx It disappears with heat!

[@marilyndubyne1215]

I’m not sure what dimensions I use to make a holder for cocktail napkins. Can anyone tell me.

[@ShabbyFabrics]

Hi Marilyn! We're not sure either. You'll want to measure the napkins to see what size will fit nicely. - Morgan

[@cwolfquilter]

Have you ever washed these trays in the washing machine? Do you think it would come out okay?

[@ShabbyFabrics]

+Carolee Wolf we haven't washed any of ours but since these are made with all washable materials, they should do just fine in the wash. They may get a bit wrinkles but you could press them with an iron!

[@cwolfquilter]

Thanks!

[@fahmadi5804]

What the name of your pen?

[@ShabbyFabrics]

That is a FriXion Pen: www.shabbyfabrics.com/Marking-Pens-C4179.aspx

[@ginarios9442]

Tudah Rbah (thank you very much, in Hebrew). I so much appreciate these. I will sew some. Before I leave, let me tell you, the real and ancient Hebrew Name of the Creator is Hayah asher Hayah, as in Exodus 3:14, when Moses/Mose asked Him His Name. Also, we are to do the 7 appointed times, in Leviticus 23. HaLLUYaH means, the praise to Yah.

[@ShabbyFabrics]

Thank you for watching our tutorials. Can't wait to hopefully see photos of your finished projects! :)
