Hello! Thanks for your message, if you’re new to sewing, I would suggest something none stretchy, a medium weight cotton would work well, a faux suede is another good choice, velvet looks good but can be tricky if you’re not used to sewing because of the pile, lots of pinning will help… if you are just practicing, you could use an old sheet or pillow case, but these fabrics are not very thick but just to test it out they would be fine. To make a stocking you want to use you can really use any fabric, but avoid anything too stretchy if you’re not used to sewing. Good luck I’m sure you will be fine! Xx

Hello! I can make you one if you need one, can you drop me a message with size / fabric you would like? I can supply it stuffed or unstuffed

Ahh thanks so much for the comment and I’m glad u found the video useful 😊😊.. have fun making lots of custom cushions now! 🥰

Hi and thanks for the comment ☺️ glad you enjoyed the tutorial.. with regards to using fabric scraps for stuffing, if they are light weight and small, you could try mixing them with some filler, but they won’t be as bouncy as the fibre filling, or you could use them to stuff something more solid where you need a dense form, like a foot stool.. or a door stop.. humm thinking this may be my next tutorial 🤔

Ahhh wow thank you so much 🥰🥰

Thanks very much for the comment 😊 I’m glad you found it useful 😊😊 xx

Ahhh thank you 😁(thats made my day!)

Thank you! I’m glad you found it useful! And You’re welcome from near Stratford upon Avon UK! 😊😊 🇬🇧 🇺🇸 xx

Hello! Thanks for your comment, I don’t have a video for the Roman blind, but I did make it and they are not difficult, so I will definitely add this to my list of videos to make, I’m starting up again with new videos in September now that bridal and prom season has passed 😅 x

Thank you for the suggestion 😊

Ahhhh thank you 😄 I’ve done it loads of time so am well practiced!!!…I’m sure ud be fine….little tip for nice straight lines in the middle of fabric is to draw them first with disappearing chalk (with a pointy edge) or heat erasing pen then stitch over your lines 😄

Thank you so much for your lovely comment 🥰 I’m glad you found the video useful! It’s been a little while since I uploaded a video due to being so so busy in my sewing studio, but at last things are quietening down so more videos will come soon! Thanks so much for subscribing 🥰🥰

Hello and thanks for your message! It’s been a while since I made the video and I can’t remember what I said without watching it through again, but to clarify yes you are right the total length should be of the rectangle (no folds) Should be the circumference +1” so if you are doing half the pattern ( to make life easier) then yes it should be 1/2 circumference + 1” with the front edge (on mine I think it’s the edge I lowered) being cut on the fold so that your joining seam is at the back. I hope this makes sense to you, please let me know if not! I’m always happy to help ☺️

Ahh fantastic 🤩! So pleased you enjoyed the tutorial and that you now have some beautiful stockings! Thanks so much for the message xx

Ahh you are very welcome and I hope the video is useful! I do hope to be bringing more content now that the bridal and prom season is coming to an end!

Fantastic! Good luck, I’m sure you will fix them fine xx

Ahh thank you so much! I’m not a fan of the annoying music either lol, I experimented with it in a couple of my videos but just found it annoying too! Appreciate the feedback 😊

I really sorry but i don’t know how to do this! I thought you could have subtitles but I’m not sure 🤦🏼‍♀️ I will see what I can do for you x

Thank you ☺️ glad you enjoyed it

You’re welcome! Hope you found it useful ☺️

You’re very welcome! Happy sewing! 🧵

😂😂 I do know what you mean.. but at least you can speed up or skip.. some people like it explained slowly… just trying to find the balance lol.. anyway thanks for the comment it all helps me make the videos better 👍👍☺️

Yes I’m really sorry about that.. the video corrupted some how so I still need to remake it! Now things are getting quieter in my studio I’ll be doing more videos and will definitely remake!

@@s79design I will be looking for it. I pray it will be soon. Thank You 😊

Ahhh thank you ☺️ I hope you do get chance to give it a try! I’ve been sent some fabulous pictures of some beds people have made for larger dogs using this tutorial! Xx

Hi and thanks for the comment, a standard domestic sewing machine should be fine to sew fleece, and I have successfully sewn fleece on my domestic machine many times. Obviously not knowing your machine, I would recommend ordering a sample to test first, this will help ensure the settings are right (the correct needle, stitch length and tension) and that your machine can sew the fabric.

Fantastic! Im sure your doggo will love the new bed! Happy sewing 🪡🪡

You’re welcome ☺️ glad you enjoyed it x

Ooh fab! Thanks for the comment and Happy sewing! 🧵🪡 😊

I’m not sure.. I bought this one from a charity shop for the purpose of making the video and then re donated as my son is 18 and it would never fit him! But you can add sleeves to any T-shirt ☺️

Ahhh good question and one I’m afraid I can’t answer 🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️! I have big bags of it for various projects and don’t actually remember how much I used, plus it also depends on the size of the bed you are making… I would order more than you think you need (I know that’s not much help) but I find I always use more to make it padded enough to allow it to stay full when your dog lies on it x

Ahh you’re very welcome! Thank you for your comment, that’s the problem we had with our well built Frenchie 😂 I’m sure your bulldog will love her coat 🥰

Oh no! You can revert it, but the sleeves will be a little shorter, because you will have to join the old part of the sleeve back on, you can attach it in a similar way to this video, keep your seam allowance as small as possible to avoid it becoming too short…. Or you could put a little contrast strip around the part it was cut off to join the sleeve back on… without seeing the shirt, I’m guessing in the dark, but if it’s more of a blouse, you could buy a lace joining strip inc or a ruffle at the seam, if it’s more of a t-shirt, then you could use a contrast colour t-shirt to create a stripe around… Hope I’m making sense?! Feel free to contact me by email if you need any other help?

Ahhh thanks for the comment! I’m sure your fur baby will love it 🐶 xxx

Ahhh you are welcome! I’m glad you found the video useful ☺️ have fun sewing!

Hi and apologies for the delay in replying! Yes you can extend the waistband with panels, without seeing the trousers it’s hard to say for sure, but off the top of my head if it’s 4” extra then I would suggest a 2” either side in the waistband with a triangular panel blending out into the leg (over the hips). If want to drop me an email or message with pictures of the trousers, I can advise more accurately 😊

I have done this alteration for several of my customers x

Thank you so much!

Hello and thanks for your comment, apologies for the delayed reply! (It’s prom and bridal season so my studio is very busy! ) I’ll have a look back at the size I used, which would suit a small to medium build. I would recommend cutting a sample from an old sheet first to check the fit before using your favourite fabric. With regards to sizing up for kids, it depends on the age and size of the child, but measure from the one shoulder across the back down the arm, this length doubled is roughly (excluding seam allowance’s) the length of the rectangle, the width of the rectangle is the depth of the open end on one side. I hope that makes sense?! If not feel free to drop me an email and I’ll draw a diagram for you 🥰

Thank you very much!

I did have the part two but unfortunately the video recorded very badly! I do intend to make another part 2 but it’s prom season at the moment so I’m very busy!! Glad you liked the video and very much appreciate the comment x

Thank you

Thanks for the comment I’m glad you enjoyed the tutorial. Believe me I know that sewing can sometimes be frustrating and hard at times (I sew all day everyday and still have times when I want to launch my sewing machine out of the window!) like everything it does get easier with practice and is very rewarding when you complete projects ☺️ I hope you have fun sewing x

You’re welcome ☺️

Thank you ☺️ I’m glad you like the video

You’re very welcome ☺️ x

Ahh thank you for taking the time to leave a comment, I’m so pleased you like it and have fun sewing one for your Chihuahua! I’m sure they will love it 🥰

Ahh I feel your pain, when I’m working from home I’m back to cutting out on the floor with scissors 😣

Ahh thank you so much and thank you for subscribing! I’m really pleased you like my video! I promise to bring more videos asap, but as you can probably tell my day job is a seamstress and I’ve been crazy busy lately! Ps Painted rock weights are just the best! 😊😊
