I just retired so I'm trying to watch all of your videos as you explain everything so well. Thanks for being such a a great instructor

[@ChristinesHomeAffairs]

Thank you so much Maggie😁

[@ShadowMoonFarms]

I reported the spam commenters offering Brunettes and Blondes. Really sketchy. Thank you for another great project to try. I made 6 shopping bags this week from some quilted fabric I had from at least 30 years ago.

[@ChristinesHomeAffairs]

Thanks for that Cynthia. We always get several of those when new videos get released. I don't know why they do it. Good job on the bags. The vintage fabric would look great😀

[@kristinjacobsen3417]

Thanks for this quick little item. One day I'll try making a few things to sell. For now they're gifts.

[@deborahruble6160]

I was looking for something quick and simple that I could make several of to get inventory started so I can get an etsy shop opened up and start making money following my passion instead of working 2 full time jobs to keep the wolf from the door, or me off the streets and you inspire me so much! Thank you Christine, thank you so very much. God bless you as you are surely blessing us

[@ChristinesHomeAffairs]

That's wonderful Deborah. I hope they do well for you🙂

[@donnadailey5062]

How wonderful Deborah for your enthusiasm and opening a shop; and Christine, thank you for sharing. May I ask a recommended price (USD) for these? I promised my sweet daughter-in-love (law) that I'd make some "stocking stuffers" for her to sell and hopefully offset the outrageous vet bill for their little family member (dog - benign tumor removal from leg and severely absessed tooth- never knew pet dental work was > than humans). @@ChristinesHomeAffairs

Thank you for sharing this cute little project, fast to sew but holy moly, it takes a minute to turn these right side out.

[@ChristinesHomeAffairs]

haha, just hold your tongue the right way Barbara😀

[@vickijenkins1438]

Thank you. I am making zipper pouches, gift voucher holders to sell for charity. Think these will be a great addition.

[@ChristinesHomeAffairs]

They'll make a great addition Vicki 😃

[@melanienicholson2834]

Good idea, I can see using colored elastic in these. Or those flat elastic hair bands from the dollar store

[@ChristinesHomeAffairs]

Great idea Melanie 😄

[@bethperrine6431]

I’ve used sharpies & fabric markers to color small bits of elastic too

[@kathryncooper4001]

VERY clever! I see these as Christmas gifts for coworkers and Sunday school classmates.

[@ChristinesHomeAffairs]

These make great gifts Kathryn😀

[@frugalmrsolson1]

You explain the projects so well. I just got five large totes of home dec fabric FREE. one tote is all minky fabric, I’ll have to learn to use that. One tote is all 9 inch squares. All other scraps are larger than these squares. And three totes of decent sized pieces. All designer fabric that was discontinued. So very pretty. All that to say, your projects are just what I need. Thank you.

[@ChristinesHomeAffairs]

That's a great haul Debbie. I have another video coming out in the next week that will utilise different sized swatches in the one bag that you might like. As for the minky, I've only sewn it once. That was enough for me! 😅

[@frugalmrsolson1]

[@tlsnana9539]

This is perfect! I need something to organize my son’s medical info cards. I watch all of your videos but never thought this could solve my problem. Thank you b

I'm so please this will work for your son 😊

[@judifisher8703]

Love you creations. The Doggie Poo Pouch is great in my charity bags I do for the rescue organizations that I do for my area. I am going to do these pouch for tea bags that I pair with a mug rug and mugs to put in the bags for the owners to enjoy while relaxing with their pet. Great ideas, please keep them coming.😄😊

[@ChristinesHomeAffairs]

That's a great deal Judi 😃

[@PhilbrookHandcrafted]

That is a wonderful quick sew! Thank you for sharing. A lot of craft fairs require an item to be donated for a raffle basket. This would be perfect, as it just uses scraps.

[@ChristinesHomeAffairs]

That's a fabulous idea JP 😃

[@CheryllWesoja]

Thank you for sharing. I just whipped one up to take to the hospital tomorrow for my complete hip surgery. I didn't want to take my purse or wallet, just the necessary medical cards and license. It was as quick and easy as shown. I really appreciate it.

[@ChristinesHomeAffairs]

That's awesome cheryll. Good luck with surgery ☺️

[@csmoot0871]

What kind of interfacing did you use?

[@cusarah77]

Could use snaps as well - love it!

Great idea Sarah😀

Great idea! I can make these and put gift cards in at Christmas and then they get 2 gifts in one!

That's a great idea Lyn 🙂

[@TWMAC2011]

Looks so easy! Love these little card wallets, especially when I don't want to lug my entire purse when hiking or hunting (shopping).

[@ChristinesHomeAffairs]

They're certainly very handy 😀

[@jher6969]

Thank you! I just got done making one and it is so cute and easy. As I type my husband is cutting more material to make another one for him.

[@ChristinesHomeAffairs]

That's so cool. I hope he's cutting straight 🤣

[@annguglielmino8989]

I made this immediately. Red and white polka dot main fabric with solid red card slots. I modified it a bit; took off the elastic and added a plastic snap. If you place it strategically you can still fit a card in there.

[@ChristinesHomeAffairs]

Haha, that's awesome Ann. Just had a call from mum, and she's made it straight away too😄

[@sylviafielding5437]

Hi Ann - I wanted to do a snap fastening but couldn’t work out where to place it and at what stage of the making - would you mind please sharing how you did it? Thank you

[@TheJaniebabe]

So quick and easy Christine, thank you. I don't think your label would look out of place on the outside, but you know best. Have a super Saturday and happy sewing!!

[@ChristinesHomeAffairs]

Thanks Jane. Thought I'd try something different for a change 😁

[@agnescleary2312]

Such a quick & easy project and a wonderfully clear video! Thank you!. I've made one with elastic, but ran out of narrow elastic, so substituted velcro dots for the next 2. That works well, but does take a bit more time.

Thanks Agnes. They're such a quick and simple project to sew 😀

So I made this today. Sitting outside by my camper. I added a couple things but not sure if I like. It is not perfect as I did not have service till now.

[@sylviafielding5437]

Thank you Christine- I absolutely love your videos and you are a superb teacher. I made one of these today and added a tab and lobster clasp but decided to add a snap fastener and so I omitted the elastic. It was a big mistake because in the end I couldn’t work out where to place the snap so as not to interfere with the cards inside. I also didn’t know at which stage to add it/them. I’d appreciate your expertise if you could advise on this. Thank you again from Somerset in the UK xx

[@ChristinesHomeAffairs]

Sylvia, to put snaps on, I'd do that on the two bottom card sections before layering the pieces, so you'd need to know where you were going to line them up 😀

Sandi, if you take one of the slots and place it on the other side to make three, you can then measure the length and double it. Don't forget to add the seam allowance 😁

Hi Christine, hope your well. Quick question how much long would i need to make main fabric to make a 3 pocket one, thank you

[@ChristinesHomeAffairs]

Hi Tracey. If you check the distance between pocket dividers, say 1/2" on each side, then I'd make the main piece 1" longer to accommodate the extra pocket. You'd also need to make each extra pocket 1" longer. Perhaps sew it near bottom so the card doesn't slip all the way down. Hope this makes sense. I'll be away a few days whilst Chris has surgery, otherwise I'd make another video for you 😊
