Hi Suzanne, I love your design for the rice bag, I have made two up to now. I was wondering how to make one in a strip, thank you so much for your clear instructions. Love Bella from Wales UK ❤

@@bellascraftystudio thank you for watching and commenting… It would be really hard for me to describe it to you in words, but I will try. Decide how big you want your rice bag/dimensions. For example, if I want my rice bag 7 inches on each side I will multiply 7×4 = 28+ one more inch or inch and a half for seam allowance, and that will be the length of my strip. 29.5”. I always remember that I have approximately 3/4 of an inch, on each end that is my seam allowance and then I will take the rest of the measurement 28 inches and mark it off into four quadrants. And I will decorate each one of those quadrants according to what I want to show on each side of the rice bag. After I’m done decorating the outside of the bag, then I will sew it into a circle or loop. After that is the process of setting in the bottom of the bag. That’s a whole different process. I Think I covered that in the video… If you have any more questions, feel free to contact me and maybe I should consider doing a second video about putting it together. How is life in Wales? Oh how I wish I could see your country. I could give you my email and you could send me pictures! when we are living in her own little bubbles it’s hard to visualize what other people’s lives are like. I hope you are a creator and are enjoying your life. Thank you for the contact.

Lol… I’m going to hold you to it!

[@judithmccrea2601]

Love the suede bottom!

[@Sadie2.1]

So interesting. Thank you very much. I had never seen or heard of these before.

[@suzanneinohiosuzannecogar2110]

Me either… we are late to the party, I guess!

[@49Nutmeg]

If you told the size I missed it could you tell me again? I love'em!

[@dianneeverett1633]

Cute, cute, cute. Very handy.

[@suzanneinohiosuzannecogar2110]

Thank you! Right! I’m late to the party,,,, how did I not know about these. It was fun sewing.

[@ginandpins6081]

🧵 I think I'll be making some of these for my Christmas hampers next year. Thank you

[@suzanneinohiosuzannecogar2110]

Thank you for watching!

[@200shoes]

Love the concept, I would’ve liked to see you sew “the circle” to the base to see how easy it is.

[@janetkealy3685]

The base is a square.

[@xxdonna1959xx]

These are stunning. What kind and thickness of rope do you use?

[@suzanneinohiosuzannecogar2110]

@@xxdonna1959xx thank you for watching… I don’t know the actual size, but it is about the thickness of a pencil!

[@xxdonna1959xx]

@ is it cotton?

[@suzanneinohiosuzannecogar2110]

@@xxdonna1959xxI’m not positive, ….but it seems to be. I have used different things. What ever I find at the thrift store or hardwear. It makes no difference to me what the actual content is, as long as it is the right thickness and flexibility!

[@suzanneinohiosuzannecogar2110]

@ i’m sorry I missed your comment/question. Yes, all the roping that I use is cotton.

[@joejeaux]

Did these out of Christmas fabric to put gifts in.

[@irenesmith7208]

For a minute there I thought I was going to have a tutorial o now she did it, but no, just a nice little chat…..good ideas though

[@deekang6244]

I’m confused. Why do you need to leave an opening in the outer layer? Just pull it through the lining opening.

[@suzanneinohiosuzannecogar2110]

I’m not sure what you are referring to… ?… I watched the video to refresh myself… and I couldn’t find what you are asking about…?
