I love the idea of a collection of videos that use up scrap fabric - please keep the videos coming. Can I make some suggestions? A bag to hold an umbrella when it is still wet (maybe it could have a towelling lining), re-useable make-up removal pads (also using an old towel perhaps), a book or Kindle sleeve, travel tissue holder, sleep eye mask, cord keepers (something to wrap around charging cords so they do not get tangled), coaster/mug rug and a cat toy that has some cat nip in it. Sorry, was that a bit much - I got a bit carried away?! 🤣
@ChristinesHomeAffairs 8 ай бұрын
Haha, not at all Linda. You'll find the pocket tissue holder video and a small how to sew mitred corners video from last week that would be perfect as a mug rug. I'll add the tissue pouch to the scrap playlist. The rest are on my list😄

I do outdoors sketching, have you done a waist bag? I also brought a wrist band with a pocket in it for my rubber and pencil sharpener. People use toweling wrist bands to wipe the excess water off their brush whilst painting in watercolor outside. I thought you might be interested in such items for your shop. Which you could advertise as really useful artist helpers, or something like that. I paid a fortune for a Sendak artist roll. I think artists would be very interested in things to organize and departmentalize the goods they need to take around with them. Best wishes Phyllis.

I have done a waist bag with two pockets that you can wrap around, wear as a crossbody, or clip to your belt loops. You could modify that to suit. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/o7yJe9dirq2pk3k.htmlsi=J0KExVSpmFXIErDX We have an artist group in town that may be interested in your idea. Thank you 😁

All of my bags has a clip to attach keys, chap stick holders/feminine hygiene holders, and sunglass pouches. I make sure all my pouches can be attached to any place on a backpack. So many younger people carry backpacks, it's easier to have a hook so things don't sink to the bottom 😅

@@ChristinesHomeAffairs I add one inside the bag. I make sure that lanyards and key fobs have a clasp to use either in the bag or their backpacks. I made toiletry bags with a wristlet, and a lobster clasp to snap their keys/key card to. It was my daughter's idea. She was in highschool, then college..."Mom, do you know how to..." You know those questions, I'm sure. If I didn't, I hopped on KZfaq and figured it out. 🙂

Would I just sew those 2 sides to the other piece then assemble the whole thing? It sounds good in my brain but not sure it will work.
