Week 15: Using Leftovers Pt.1 (LIVE with Annie)

[@saraburke4795]

Annie, you and your team are truly the best with your detailed instructions and innovative designs. I’m part of a group of sewists that have been making your patterns at the Pumpkin Patch Quilt shop in Lee, MA. Our teacher is Martha Rodriguez and she is a wonderful teacher and really understands your techniques so completely. We all look forward to all of the classes with your patterns. Thank you for all you do!

[@avrilvalentine8839]

I’m even more frugal than Annie thanks to my Dad’s family who were Scottish immigrants living through the Depression in Tenements in Montreal. Nothing was wasted &reuse everything possible. I also had to adjust dress patterns and that habit continues with my bag making - I’m working from my stash and often the yardage is short…so make templates to fit with what I have and then do a contrast if I don’t have enough. This has resulted in projects that I simply love….I have leftovers that are 2 inches wide and 12 inches long that I’m joining together to see what I can make …love the possibilities. And this was before I found this video..again I’ve learned something new to try- I LOVE Live with Annie .

I'm so glad I ran across this video. I'm working on my very first ByAnnie project, the Paci It In 2.0 for my upcoming cruise! And I just laughed when I saw the video title, because, sure enough, I have all my scraps on the cutting table looking pretty with no idea what to do with them, but I knew I would not throw them away! Thanks so much!!!

[@traceybell4511]

Brilliant video Annie, thank you. My pattern list just doubled in size! I'm off to watch the other one now. Your videos are wonderful for when I'm stuck in my chair feeling frustrated because I cannot get on. (Back issues) Your voice and sense of humour always cheer me up. Thank you.

[@PatternsByAnnie]

Hi Tracey- I am sorry about your back. I hope you can return to sewing soon!

[@kimberlyproux8150]

I have been watching these videos every week. Unfortunately, I am unable to watch them live, I don't think my employer would understand. So I watch them at a later time and just love them. This series has been the very best resource to find answers to multiple questions. I especially love the opportunity to see the different projects byannie. I can appreciate the items as I see them on line, but as Annie shows them and offers different uses for the patterns I become so excited to try them. Thank you for making these videos, they are hands down my very favorite!

[@ConniePloch]

Thank you for doing these videos. I love seeing all the fun fabrics used and all the great tips. I like the details instructions and tags provided for each piece. I place that page on my printer and copy them so in case I want to make the project again, they are in tact and I can make another copy! ❤

[@joanmcfadyen6422]

Oh my gosh, Anne! You are so generous with your time, ideas, and knowledge! I sincerely thank you.

[@petrak9898]

Greatings from germany...you are the best teacher I've ever saw on KZbin ♡ now I can never put a left over peace away 😇

[@kathybasham1225]

I love the videos you are making.

[@lynnzukowski5903]

I agree with you- I have always made it a point to conserve fabric- when laying out my patterns- I am aware of which will leave the largest scraps that can be used later. I cringe when I see a video tute and they just cut indiscriminately and waste so much fabric. Now I am going to re-watch the video on directional fabric and your way to join the fabric using binding strips. Always look forward to your Wednesday videos. Thank you for sharing your talent and inspiration.

[@janetdobson1282]

Love your bags and. the presentations Makes the construction so much easier

[@farkiemacd]

HI, Annie and team! Re: a Sew-Along. I have made a bunch of your patterns already, so I don't feel the need for additional videos or anything. However, I love the sense of community that comes from a sew-along and people sharing their work. plus, like you, I tend to always have more on my plate than I can deal with, so a sew-along would be a fun way of making me focus on one of the several ByAnnie patterns I want to make. Personally, I would LOVE a sew-along with the A Place For Everything 2.0. I have made the original version, which I really liked, but I am looking forward to making the new version, and a sew-along would put it at the top of my list. :)

[@irenetruskett9257]

Thanks Annie, as usual you are a wealth of information and ideas. I love your patterns and using all the resources you supply on your website.

[@margaretraykestenbaum2471]

Absolutely fabulous ideas for using up scraps. I can't wait to see what you come up with next week. Lots of great suggestions, thank you Annie.

[@marieb4801]

Thank you so much for all your wonderful tips and ideas. I love them. I love using up leftover fabric and recycling fabrics. Can’t wait to try this and your patterns. I am new to your products and really enjoy your videos and it makes me excited to start sewing again.

[@pamelafriesen5946]

Great ideas . Thank you for sharing !

[@christinewhitaker2957]

I’m so glad I found you. Such good information

[@tuijajussi]

I love that ultimate travel bag and in control made by leftovers.

[@vidavidson9945]

I enjoyed you video on the bags. I made my daughter a travel bag for Christmas but did not use any stableizer in it. She thought it was very nice

[@pjinlaca5489]

Wow, the joining tip is super! Thanks 🙏

[@kathykatrad]

Always good information

[@dianefawcett1260]

Makes me want to get back into bag making.

[@shriverc7]

I was wondering if in a future video you might discuss which bag(s) would work well for jewelry makers and bead or fiber weavers, or for those who knit or crochet to hold/carry supplies and tools for traveling? I’ve looked at some of the videos for most of the bags but I am unable to figure out which bags and carrying cases that would work best for those crafts or how they could be adjusted to accommodate those crafts. Love the projects and I’m hoping to get a sewing machine to make some for myself in the future.

[@judithkratts2757]

Judy Kratts Love all your patterns and videos. Am working on my second bag now.

[@ceciliaroy041]

love your project bags!

[@anneinstx1969]

So glad you're doing this on leftovers. I never throw stuff out as I figure I can always "glue" pieces together, but am not always good at thinking up projects to make with bits and pieces. Your help is much appreciated.

[@d8zdly]

Amazing video😊

[@lenoreguajardo7531]

Well I actually made this live...there is so much I want to make and hope to get the catalog...may be in my mail today,,.have made a few of your patterns and love them....thanks

[@PatternsByAnnie]

:) You can start scrolling through the catalog today! You can find a pdf copy here: www.byannie.com/byannie-catalog

[@margaretdent1312]

I make strips into placemats butt joined with large zigzag and covered on top with bias tape using small zigzag down both edge- or other fancy stitches

[@tamrich100]

I would love a sewalong on 'in control'. For a beginner, the free project bag. These are great projects and introduce the love of By Annie

[@jackieuser400]

I've used small pieces of soft and stable inside a small plastic tackle box with customizable compartments from Cabelas to protect my sewing machine feet that I store in them.

[@shariz2998]

I appreciate all the features on your website!

[@susanspratling]

I love your Facebook live videos even though I always catch them on KZbin thank you

[@pconlinemacclasses2180]

I love your videos! The pandemic really forced so many into being super creative.

[@susanbrown1850]

Love your program

[@pdfan33036]

Greetings from the FL Keys!

[@rebeccamills4673]

I've been catching up on your LIVE videos and this one was GREAT, with so many tips and ideas! I love how you use many different fabric lines and let us know the name of the designer and and manufacturer. Thanks to you and your staff!

[@kaythompson8721]

VERY informative! Thank you.

[@margaretdent1312]

Great ideas for leftovers!

[@rowiemurphy2429]

I love bag making and have used some of your patterns, but I did get a few more ideas tonight

[@pjinlaca5489]

Absolutely amazing group of projects! I can’t imagine how many zipper tape colors you’d have to have. I’m wondering if you could recommend a neutral zipper tape that could be used in multiple projects and still look good. Thanks

[@susanmether526]

Fantastic video, I am so inspired. "Not enough hours in the day!"

[@alanahamilton4014]

Love the projects and the fabrics you use in them.

[@kellywenhold7555]

wow...you really provide alot of info

[@rhondasnow5173]

This video was a big help for me. I try to minimize online purchases to save shipping, but I invariably forget something. I really wish I could just run down to my local Hobby Lobby, Michael's, or JoAnn's to purchase the ByAnnie Handbag Zippers as well as the Soft and Stable. It's such a bummer when I get an idea to make something or make a mistake and then have to wait for something to be shipped.

[@mischad4838]

Thank you👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@beckym100]

What is the fabric used on Tools of the trade on the shelf over your left shoulder? Love that fabric

[@carolcarone2366]

Carol Carone what a wonder program this is. super job.. where do you get all the patterns? are some free? thanks

[@valariemoreland9586]

I would love to have a Bible cover pattern. I have found so many lost bibles because I people forget to put their names in them cover them,, but rarely do I forget a pretty one or distinct one. Ez5 I do realize that the differences in sizes, that should not b an issue for a seasoned sewer. Time consuming yes, but how many beautiful are now availablr

[@dayzemae9015]

One thing no one ever mentions is what setting do they use on your sewing machine. Length....Width....etc. I don’t know why since we are almost all likely using cotton.

[@cathinuferrous2336]

@ Mama Bear’s Quilt shop we love byAnnie ❣️

[@cathinuferrous2336]

I still don’t think I did it right 😑

Need to make these smallgift items

[@dysyblue3008]

I am seeing cork fabric used more and more. Can you tell me how it wears with use and how to clean it, please?

[@amywilliams928]

I know that filming on a whole project is hard, I understand this, I have had two strokes and have a difficult time reading the instructions. I love the patterns a lot.

[@kimbenson118]

can you colorize the pictures in your patterns like you did for the Easy Does It pattern?

[@donpettitt3542]

Hi I was wondering if you know of a distributor of ByAnnie products in Ontario Canada.

[@stephiepeterson]

Is there a way to enter the giveaway from KZbin if watching the replay? Thanks.

[@playtenny60520]

I want to know how to get the PDF library

[@teresacrawford3143]

@kerrymitchell, here are some great ideas for future sewing!

[@margaretjanke6225]

I would like to get some of Tula Pinks sewing machine fabric. Can you e-mail me where.

[@bradjohnson4585]

wow that was a little overwhelming with the switching back and forth. I will have to watch many time to get this part!!!

[@debbiehorton6657]

I love these videos and learn so much @KayLyn Curry Littlejohn

[@dayzemae9015]

Train case pattern please.

[@cakedoll575]

I would love a cute pattern to keep doll cloths in. I'd like my grand daughters to be able to store the 18" doll clothes I've made them ,they are bulky and get miss placed. I want them to be able to store them and later give to their children later in their life. It would be adorable to put little pieces and doll wardrobe.I just can't figure out how to do something like that , that maybe looks like a doll house, size of a small suitcase, can be carried and sturdy. Everyone I've talked to about this even the younger moms seem very interested and excited about something like this. I hope this can get someone at By Annies. Com creative juices going and soon have a pattern. Thanks for all the merchandise I've ordered am pleasantly surprised at how fast it arrives.

[@gloriaanncurwin7139]

i wish you would design some smaller bags. It seems all your bags are so very large
