[@shahnaazbootwala1480]

Hi Andrea love your instructions.You make it so easy and similar.Love from India.

[@twilatravis5682]

This is a great tutorial! I used this construction method to make me a grooming tote for my horses brushes!

[@Sewspire]

Glad it was helpful!

[@daystardanes]

I LOVE this!!! I am going to make one of these. A girlfriend of mine wanted me to make her a "fabric box" and I think I'll make her this...

[@cherylmurray9868]

OMG!! This is great...need for my car-fice (car office!)...

[@Sewspire]

So glad you like it Cheryl! This is perfect for the car-fice!

[@TravelsWithLittle]

I usually cut three to four projects out at a time. This caddy would be perfect for storing each project separately until I can get to finishing them. Thank you!!!

[@Sewspire]

OH yes this is perfect for that!

[@kathyreese9373]

I haven't watched the entire video, yet, but just based on the look of this caddy....I look forward to learning how to make this! Love your projects, Andrea.

[@Sewspire]

Glad you like the project so far Kathy! I appreciate your kindness and continued interest in the channel!

[@maryannridout2029]

Love this organizer! Making it for sure!

[@Sewspire]

So glad you like it Mary Ann! Let us know how yours turns out.

[@awkwardartist7628]

Nice! Thanks! I love how clear and easy the instructions are. Thanks for that! Being an older sewing visual and vocal instructions are a must.

[@Sewspire]

Thank you! I am happy you are enjoying the channel and having success with my teaching style.

[@barbaracastle1690]

One of your best, Andrea!

[@Sewspire]

Wow! Thank you!

[@lorimccarthy333]

love this.. so MANY options that this can be used for..... Love you and your video's!!!! I think I am going to make the first one for a baby shower and fill with baby stuff for the nursery!!

[@Sewspire]

Oh that is so sweet Lori! This would be really fun to use for a variety of themed gift baskets. Thank you for sharing that idea!

[@rebeccaestrada744]

Loved this bag.!

[@Sewspire]

So glad! I love it too!

[@stellafournier6906]

Hello Andrea! Just finished watching yet another amazing tutorial on how to make your 4 way divided caddy. Wow! Love it! Can't wait to try my hand at it soon! Namaste dear friend! Blessings!

[@Sewspire]

Glad you like it Carol! This is a fun project and I am sure your friends and family would enjoy it if you made them one. Namaste and blessings to you! (will write more soon! just catching up from the weekend rush). 🌻Andrea

[@papercents]

What a great project! I just made one for my husband for all of the remotes, notepads, pens, papers that he needs to review, glasses, etc., etc. that he keeps on the end table by his recliner. The divided caddy went together really quickly. I hadn't used your T method before but I really like it! I need to set these up like an assembly line and sew a bunch together. I see a lot of uses for this awesome divided caddy. Thank you so much!

[@Sewspire]

I am happy you are enjoying the channel and could make something nice for your husband.

[@michellereynolds3171]

Another great “episode” of As Sewspire Turns I love your tutorials 😘

[@Sewspire]

Aw, I love that. I actually miss watching the "soaps" :)

[@suestutzle2779]

WOW, what a nifty idea. Thanks for this Andrea. I'm thinking this would be good for my camera, it's charging dock, ereader charger and other cords that are all dumped in one messy tangle in an ugly plastic basket. Would sort things out nicely and look nice up on the TV cabinet (yes, we still have one of those!).

[@Sewspire]

Gosh...this would be good for all my recording equipment too! Thanks for the vision! So happy you like the latest design.

[@beckyezra1]

Thank you so much for another beautiful project. please, can you position the camera little higher so we can see your activity on full screen? thank you. bless. enjoy the summer!!

[@Sewspire]

Glad you like the design. I was experimenting with the camera angle for this video and will be making some adjustments in the next tutorial. Blessings to you too! Andrea

[@brigidkillen2807]

[@tinageorge8759]

Thank you Andrea, this looks like so much fun, thank you as always my dear friend! 💚

[@Sewspire]

This one is a lot of fun Tina! And, if you check my FB feed you can see how I turned it into a cute handbag too! 💚

[@colloak]

This is huge! What a useful project. Thank you so so much

[@Sewspire]

Yes, it is a nice size! Glad you like it!

[@MariaGarcia-kw1dt]

[@houghtonjeannie]

Wonderful work

[@Sewspire]

[@houghtonjeannie]

Love this design Andrea, going to make one tomorrow thank you xx

[@Sewspire]

Awesome! I hope it worked out well for you!

[@rachelt7000]

I love your tutorials. I know you're trying to give a great view so people can see the details, but if you could zoom out a bit so the top isn't cut off, it might be easier to see some of the info. Thanks for another great one.

[@Sewspire]

Yeah, I agree. This camera positioning was wonky. I apologize.

[@judithschram5597]

Love this! Great project! 💕💕💕

[@Sewspire]

Thanks Judith! I think so too!

[@mbowman4436]

This was great.

[@Sewspire]

Glad you enjoyed the video Misty!

[@peggymccubbin4142]

I will be making another one!! Thank you so much!! Have you thought about making book on these tutorial??

[@Sewspire]

Awesome! Yes, I would love to put together a book of tutorials.

[@judithgvirtzman9384]

Liked your clear instructions for this caddy. I am however looking for a smaller version to carry 4 drinks ( coffee etc) Did try to adjust your but... Any chance of one such caddy?

[@Sewspire]

Oh that sounds fun! Maybe from the new canvas I received recently. Let me think about this design and see what I can do.

[@irisglasspoole2350]

Love your tutorials. Could I ask what size needle do you use?? Also do you use 50wt cotton thread or polyester to sew for strength. Many thanks

[@Sewspire]

Thanks Iris! I typically use a 90/14 needle and Gutermann 100% 50 WT Cotton Thread.

[@irisglasspoole2350]

Thanks so much for replying keep up the lovely tutorials

[@marydiaz1642]

Hermoso y práctico, me encanta.Venezuela

[@AnaPaula-xp2dk]

Thanks, 💖💖💖💖

[@Sewspire]

Thank you Ana! 💖💖💖💖

[@marianrooth9514]

Thank you Andrea. If I use plain cotton would I use interfacing?

[@Sewspire]

Yes, I suggest the Pellon 808/809 or a quilt batting of your liking.

[@suestutzle2779]

Also Marian I have found foam stabiliser to be great.

[@tinafreethy9571]

Would you be willing to do a video on a "thread catcher" or have you already done one in the past?

[@Sewspire]

Hmmm... don't think I know what a thread catcher is....will have to google that Tina.

[@tinafreethy9571]

@@Sewspire I just made a cute little thread catcher out of some cowboy material I have! I will post a photo now on the sewspire page!

[@loiscasey1338]

It’s so great and so useful. ❤️❤️. Loving it! Need some mind flexibility.

[@Sewspire]

Glad you like the design! Thanks for watching!

[@rebarobinson5545]

Will you be showing your new patron creation on KZbin by any chance?

[@Sewspire]

I do hope to preview the project on KZbin. The actual construction of it will be presented in the next session of AMC and at the live meetup we will be having in early 2020.

[@awildaruiz2493]

I have done your T method but on this one i am confuse. I am doing one but i am stuck

[@Sewspire]

Head on over to the group facebook page for lots of help and encouragement from our greater Sewspire community of makers: facebook.com/groups/183488042371692/

[@lisawhited4291]

Could I use stabilizer on the exterior panels?

[@papercents]

After I made my 1st one & saw my husband hooking his pens, pencils, tools, etc. to the outside, I opened up the top seam (between the handles only) where you sew the folded edges together & I put foam & sewed it in under one of the folds & then closed it back up with the topstitching. Worked like a charm!

[@Sewspire]

Nice! Another option would be boning. Love that you improvised and that your husband was eager to put this to good use!

[@ellenthompson4441]

Brain yoga! Love it. I'm sure you are not aware some of your genius demos are cut off at the top of the video frame; moving closer to the center of the picture would give viewers a more complete experience.

[@Sewspire]

Thanks Ellen! I did realize that and will do better next time. Glad you like the project though.

[@lte5385]

May i ask what you would use to stabilize it if you use a lighter fabric? I am new to sewing and there are so many options out there i am uncertain what to use. Thank you so much for the tutorials. I sent you a message on instagram about the caddy i sewed, first one ever. My stitches weren’t perfect but it was so much fun!!!

[@Sewspire]

Hello! I like to use the Pellon 808 and 809 along with Warm and Natural Quilt Batting. I buy all three at my local Walmart. Hope that helps you and I am glad you are having success with the tutorials.

[@lte5385]

Thank you Andrea! And i love my camera strap i bought from you!!😊

[@IMOO1896]

Do you sew to end of cut, or do you leave 1/4” or seam allowance when attaching the bottom to sides?

[@Sewspire]

Great question Sandra! You can see this method up close here: sewspire.com/2018/11/t-method-tips-and-tricks-by-jo-blackwell/

[@ItsGluetimeyall]

Oh I love this!M thanks!!

[@Sewspire]

Glad you like it! Thanks for watching!

[@shahnaazbootwala1480]

Can you show some tutorials on aprons

[@Sewspire]

I will keep this in mind. Thank you for the suggestion!

[@shahnaazbootwala1480]

I mean simple
