For the small drawstring gift bags - I have used used (ironed flat) dryer sheets to make sheer see through gift bags. One folded in half makes a tiny bag or you can use two for a slightly larger bag.

Wow…thank you so much for the lovely headband pattern. My 89 year old mom was just asking for headbands to keep hair from her face. She will love these.

[@ThoughtfulCreativity]

Glad it was helpful, hugs to your Mom!

[@kme]

I love the infinity scarf idea. My daughter has taken to wearing a scrap of fabric around her neck (it's a very soft knit fabric scrap I gave her to play with after I made her a little hat some time ago) that I can easily use to make it a little more fun for her to wear. The way you do it looks so much easier than other ways I've seen it done. Thanks so much. 💖

[@ThoughtfulCreativity]

My pleasure! I have actually made a few of these for my little one last winter as well - she loved it. Some people like to "twist" their infinity scarves as they sew them, but I admit - I have done that in the past and I can't get them to sit on my neck the way I want them, so I make it just straight, like in this video.

[@melanievaz5878]

I have no clue why it's soooo difficult for me to make a drawstring bag..!! When I made one in HS.

[@richmoreno1198]

Hi I started out with a 18” X 21” and then when you fold it and cut the material the measurements are not 3” X 13”. How did you do that.

[@0YourGuardian]

Did you make the lovely top you are wearing? I’d love the tutorial for that! I love the sleeves and reminds me of Joules x

[@ThoughtfulCreativity]

Tutorial is already in the works and coming this weekend. Look for a raglan top tutorial, as there are 3 tops that I made and I might use just one of them for a thumbnail.

[@lucilledaub5991]

Love your videos n cute bags n soap carrier.

[@vivjay67]

I love that infinity scarf. I've just found a variegated navy knit fabric 58" long for £2 a metre. 3 metres should do me 6 scarves. So with postage I'm doing 6 Christmas gifts for £1.66 each. Thank you 😁

[@salems_gigi6309]

That is awesome!!

[@michellezevenaar]

Drawstring bags are also great for toy storage for kids. Any thing with lots of parts works great!

[@ThoughtfulCreativity]

Oh yes!!! My toddler is not parting today from her backpack, lol. She is like little traveling gnome today - goes everywhere with her backpack.

[@fijay60]

I am a bit confused with the drawstring backpack measurements. The large pieces are 10.5" x 13", so why is the short strip not 10.5" x 3", so it will fit on the top. Is the large piece supposed to have the 13" along the top as in the video the long edge is down the side?

[@ModistraSews]

what kind of card stock do you use for displaying your headbands?

[@pegasusquilts]

I haven't even finished watching but i can't wait to tell you how impressed I am with the professional details and techniques you're using. I've seen similar projects elsewhere but your methods are nicer.

[@L.i.s.a....]

Alisa, I had to pause the vid -- I love how the drawstring bag you made for your daughter! I bet you are a wonderful mom. :) Your tutorials are so helpful, inspiring, and easy to follow. Thanks so much for sharing your talent and hard work with us!

pocket soap bag would make a great mask pouch

[@dcwatashi]

Can anyone recommend how to prevent the end of the rope from fraying?

[@ThoughtfulCreativity]

I burn it a little bit and it melts the end, preventing it from fraying.

This bag is perfect for dirty footy boots. Line the bag and no more muddy boots in the car.

[@McJulieO]

Thoughtful Creativity is a really good name for you! I’ve been teaching a friend how to sew, and it has forced me to think through what we are doing to streamline my instructions down to what is truly important. Your teaching style is what I’m aiming for, so I can refer her to your videos without a qualm….She will become a first time grandmother next month and has NEVER sewn before, so I’ve focused on Easy Baby Projects to familiarize her with the basics and give her success (flannel blankets, baby hats, bibs with bias or ruffle trim, zipper pouches) Have any other favorites you might suggest?

[@ThoughtfulCreativity]

Hello there Julie! With sewing, it is such an interesting thing, lots of little details matter, but when you get started it can feel like a lot, so streamlining it really helps, because the more we do something the more we learn from our experience, and then we build up our understanding of those little things. Oh, baby projects - YES! I have been sewing for my little one since she was born, from easy projects to add to your - burp cloths, if that is her daughter (not sure how comfortable she would be doing this for her daughter-in-law) bra inserts for when the milk just goes everywhere, she can also make some baby clothes, although might need to practice a tad for it, it is not difficult but the pattern pieces are so small, that's what makes it a bit challenging, also as a mom, and some might disagree, I preferred separates for my kiddo after she was about 3 months old. It is easier to change them that way. Oh, here's the video - kzbin.info/www/bejne/gnjck4KOZrxjfKs also, things to know when sewing for kids/babies - kzbin.info/www/bejne/rYDTamtsoNdof5I
