Hi Tara, it’s me we were talking about those tube turners. I actually found another video that showed how to so both ends close and still be able to turn it. I’ll send it to you on the other video. But what I wanted to talk about is there was a new story not too long ago talking about the harm we are facing with those plastic bags that cereal comes in. So you may want to rethink doing that crackle toy, and you can search obviously on the Internet to find out about those cereal bags something about chemicals in the plastic leaching into our Foods.

Love this for its simplicity and speed. Guilty admission....I made a rag quilt for my two-year-old greatgrand and his five-year-old big sister asked "What are you making for me?" I have made many things for her in the past and it was her little brother who got neglected during Covid. But of course she doesn't understand that! So I'm making her a hooded swim towel and she won't understand how easy it was compared to the quilt. Now that I see how easy it is will probably make more for other grands and great-grands.

You’re welcome 😀😀 When I am making ties for a cushion for example I like one end to be closed that’s the issue with this method. You would think the manufacturer would have the courtesy to put out a video showing how to use all three. There is a KZfaq channel and I think it’s called notches Sewing and she shows a few different methods because I don’t think she has those tube turners

@ArtistTaraReed7 күн бұрын
Well that was an unfortunate editing mistake! it should have been done at 10:18 before moving on to the straps. After you sew the 3 sides, you then match the seams and the sides of the cut-out for the bottom and sew with 1/4" seam. You can see it sewn at 17:21 or see how the box bottoms are done in my wine bag tutorial - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/lbVga9uZ0ZqqpZs.html - you will use the same method

Thanks for this video. Is the foam at the bottom (which becomes the base of the case) sewn together, or does it just come to the bottom and stay open? When you sewed around the whole case with a quarter inch seam I couldn't tell if you intentionally avoided sewing the foam together or if you purposely sewed under it. Thank you again!
@ArtistTaraReed12 күн бұрын
The foam has a fusible adhesive on one side to adhere it to the fabric. I did purposely avoid it when sewing the seams because it is too bulky when you get 2 layers into the seam. The only place I actually sew it is when I edgestitch around the top / opening once it's turned right side out. Hope that helps!
