Random Rectangles; woven ladder pocket. Viewer question responses at the end of the video.

This is a quick and easy project that uses rectangle scraps. The fabulous Gayle Agostinelli shared the original idea that sparked my twist and take on a woven pocket. I’ve also shown and answered viewer questions at the end. Thank you for watching, be safe and happy creating.

You have to be the sweetest person Your doing us all a big service by demonstrating how to do these creative crafts and your concerned that inking edges may bother some, that sewing may bother some, personally, if they dont like it, they dont need to watch. After all there's a volume button or fast forward button...good grief. Again your way to kind!!! Myself, I enjoy watching you create. Every part of it. To me its actually relaxing and I appreciate you sharing your knowledge and creativity. So thank you and dont change a thing. Not even your kindness, because thats who you are.

Hi Cori 👋! I’m glad to see/hear you again. You say it's a long video, but for me it's excellent because you teach many things that are easy to remember and I wish it were longer. Also, you don't have to apologize when you say you make mistakes because no, they are not mistakes, they are practical lessons that we all need; so thank you for your teachings. I hope you’re next health procedure goes well. Stay safe ! Greetings from Puerto Rico 🇵🇷

I love this bigger version! Glad your back. Hope your healing and feeling better. I do get my straw paper from Italy from Rachel at roxy creation. She really does great with the postage. Her straw paper seems more homemade and fiberus (don’t think that’s a word, but you know what u mean) I know a lot of people have made the homemade vintage yellowed tape, but I’d love to see you make a version of it. I feel like we all have our own ways and can learn from all the ways. I know this has nothing to do with this video, but I thought about it for the pc you accidentally cut too short! We all need faux vintage tape! Love ya!

[@barbaracabrera207]

This is great! I remember Gayle's video when it first came out. But I didn't have a TO DO LIST back then. So now I'll put this on my to-do list so I can remember. I like the longer style, too. If I cut vertical ones and left 1/4" in-between, I could fold a longer one to make an accordion book?? That might be cool for a journal insert. I might try that after I make some of these. I bought my Straw Paper from Italy. No idea WHY! Maybe someone gave me the link. It was very expensive and shipping was very high $!! It IS very nice though! It was right after Covid and shipping went crazy! Seems it's STILL crazy! But a US source would be better. Selling on Etsy sounds like too expensive for sellers. I've bought things thru a different source. Don't remember. But even PayPal has cheaper fees. I'm sure if people email you their orders, there's a better way to get their money to you. I understand Etsy has to make $ too. But Sellers do all the work and shipping IS HIGH. So that has to be added to the sale. Hope you can figure that out. CRAFTY MI only sells from Facebook. But I don't know how you get money to her. Anyhow,...thanks for a great video!! You are a great teacher! Your experience teaching for work sure shows. It's good for us. Thanks!! Austin TX USA

LOL Tracey! I read this aloud to my husband and he just shook his head from side to side 😁 I'm deaf in one ear so am a bit louder than many, simply because if I can't hear then others can't hear, right?

Though truly, my preference is a quiet voice 💕

Anyways, I think you might take a look at selling your items on Kofi. I tried making a pocket like the first one that you showed and now I know better what to do. My previous try was made with following a printed template picture and now I know I should have used strips to weave. Blessings! @theresaconway-hayes
