Hi Dana, you are such a delightful young lady. I have enjoyed watching your videos so much. I initially found your site because I wanted to see how to make piping for a cushion panel I have just finished embroidering and, as it has taken me many years (on and off) to stitch this Jacobean panel, I sure don't want to ruin it by messing up the piping. Your tutorial on piping was so clear and precise I now have the confidence to stitch my cushion. Thank you again. PS I'm going to get started on some Bonbon pets soon too. Warmly Alain xx

[@christinemartinezgonzales3338]

I admit, this person's personality kept me amused and continued to watch! , It kept my action....so I sewed and made cat pillows, but i stuffed them with something other than cotten( hard dried seads).and gave them a away to men lololol they loved it.

[@bananashaveice]

Your Bon Bon pets are absolutely adorable!! I can't wait to make a bunch of cat pillows!! Thank you for the discount code & for creating this great tutorial. Take care!

[@Jen-CelticWarrior]

MADE Everyday, you’re welcome, Dana! I haven’t sewn on my machine in over ten years, but I decided to try to make a few homemade face masks. I realized then how much I missed sewing! Then I found your videos, and they have been truly inspiring. I followed your directions for making shorts, which were MUCH easier than the pattern’s instruction that I had. Right now, I’m hooked on zippered pouches. And now I want a Babylock Brilliant machine. This is all your fault, lol! Keep up the great work. I am now a fan. Thanks again!

Hi Cindy, sorry about that! I ran the discount for a week. I'm sure I'll do pattern sales again down the road. I hope you have fun sewing! Dana

I would love if you could do a skort for toddlers. I’d love to make some for my daughter but can’t find any good tutorials

Heyhey♥️

[@crystalm9900]

Fantastic, I bought the pattern earlier and my printer decides to not print 😱 I have 20 pages... will try again tomorrow. I can’t wait to start making these, they are adorable x

[@MADEEveryday]

You don't have to print all the pages! Just print the pages for the animal you want to make. For the cat, it's about 3 pages, etc.

[@crystalm9900]

MADE Everyday I know but I managed to print it out, it was my browser causing the problem (I pay monthly for ink so have oodles of spare pages) and I made a big cat, it’s too cute. I only recently got the sewing machine so bit of a novice, managed to make a whale, a cat and now the large cat head. I will definitely be making the others, love the clear instructions.

[@MADEEveryday]

@@crystalm9900 Haha. Awesome! I want to see a pic! Are you on Instagram? You can find me @made_everyday

[@crystalm9900]

MADE Everyday crystal.musings1 I haven’t posted on Instagram in ages but for you I have. First attempt and just used scraps but I’m happy, just need to stitch the bottom and I’m done. Was interesting doing whiskers 😹 I just went with the flow.

It would be awesome as a zipper pouch by adding a zipper between the ears maybe.

[@dollface...]

Hi Dana. 😋 I was just wondering where we can buy your fabrics because i really want to make some stuffed 🦧 animals with the fabrics in your collection because its really fun to sew when you dont have anything to do! 😊 Ps: You are VERY good at sewing! 🧡

[@mariewalters1164]

can ;you tell me how to add a flutter sleeve to a childs store bought sleeveless T shirt? The armholes are all finished and if I add the flutter sleeve, the ruffled edge will be visible, only on the wrong side of the T shirt, but I think It will be irritating . Can you help?

[@LorenzoDCara83]

That is such a cute idea, I can't wait to make them. Can you hot glue felt on there for the face instead of sewing?

[@robinstpierre864]

Yes

[@kaleighc8706]

Hello I am new to your channel and really enjoy watching your videos. I was wondering would you maybe be able to sew up some absorbent toddler underwear covers for potty training (Incase of an accident) it doesn’t go on there clothes out in public? Thanks for the videos. -Kaleigh

[@tereasacarter2302]

What a cute little pet stuffy! In your opinion, do you think that the whole pet could be hand stitched by 13-15 year olds?

[@MADEEveryday]

Thanks! Yes, I think they could do that! My daughter has hand stitched smaller "animal toys" like those when she was about 10 years old. Just takes a little longer, and you need to use smaller stitches.

[@kaitlyncleary3424]

How do you know it's a 3/8 seam allowance? Mine has lines for 10,20 and 30. My manual doesn't say what those numbers mean
