Thank you! The old video was OK, but this one is even better. I appreciate that you really listen to us, and took the time to make a “new and improved” video. And a big THANK YOU for another free pattern.

[@SookieSews]

Oh you are being kind, when I went back to watch the video, both my daughter and I had a good laugh at the lighting, shaky camera, positioning of the shots, it was funny. However, I did the best I knew how at the time and because of the years of trial and error, I've gotten to where I'm at today! Enjoy!

[@1daizie]

Thanks much!

[@SookieSews]

You're welcome!

[@brendapena2328]

thank you for this tutorial!! I also like the wonder clips rope basket super cute.

[@SookieSews]

Aww thanks. I need to make a tutorial for that next maybe :)

[@vivieneckert1402]

Thank you for the free pattern and clear and concise instructions. I’ll be making more and can easily use up some scraps. I do so enjoy your channel.

[@SookieSews]

Thank you for your kind words!! Please do tag me when you make some :)

[@seatleonstella1819]

Lovely tutorial, thank you! I‘m wondering if it would be difficult to add a little tab on top of it to hold on to. Must try your pattern soon!

[@SookieSews]

Oh I like that idea. Go for it and let me know how it goes.

[@lorrilogancigalina3781]

Can you refresh the link to your iron please? It is linking to wonder clips, so I can’t tell which iron it is. I’m hunting for an easy one to keep near sewing machine

[@SookieSews]

Sorry about that. It looks like that at this time, Amazon is out of them. but here is the updated link amzn.to/3Wuq7D2 - I looked a couple other places online and they seem to be out too. But you can add your name to the waitlist HERE shrsl.com/4ipp5

[@dellabadger3514]

Love this!!! Thank you for a great tutorial. I think it was ten years ago I did the catch all with license plate fabric.

[@SookieSews]

Yes, it was so long ago. You are welcome, I promise this is a way better version, pattern pieces and all. Enjoy!

[@normatulloch376]

Thank you for the free pattern. Great video.

Thanks for the cute, free pattern. I can't wait to make it! I also love the little bee that flies across the screen! 🥰 Lisa

[@SookieSews]

Yay!!! I’m so glad you like it and yea, my bee 🐝 😊 not sure anyone ever stays to then end to see it but that makes me so happy to hear you do 🥰

[@lorrilogancigalina3781]

What is a trick to sewing a curve or circle. Do you lower feed dogs? Been sewing small toddler toy with curved ears, had hard time. You made that look so easy!

[@SookieSews]

Taking my time, using lots of wonder clips vs pins, and did you see the stiletto? That helps too. Also knowing yo are a little at a time vs full speed ahead. The narrow presser foot helps too.

[@kimtuzinski5042]

What a great pattern and thank you for sharing it. Your tutorial is great, I’m so happy I came across your KZbin channel today, you made my day!!

[@SookieSews]

Thank you for your sweet words, you made my day!!

[@pegsullivan6577]

Wonderful. Made one many years ago and now need a new one. Great for easy on the go sewing. Thanks for your work in making this available and updated.

[@SookieSews]

You’re so welcome! Yes please give the new version a try I think you’ll find it goes together better than the original.
