The plastic ones are great to put a pipe cleaner through and make a little circle on the end. Great for getting dust out of your sewing machine around the bobbin case
Catherine your definitely a girl of many talents and the fact u share the mistakes is very helpful. Had to giggle when u said 'who wants to wear leggings on their head' 😂. Such beautiful materials. Great video...well done and thank u 👍
I'd love a video on how to sow a tote bag some day, preferably one with a little zipper pocket inside. At the moment I'm just putting handles on old pillow cases and that works too. 😄
I had my sewing machine fixed a while back but have been reluctant to use it (afraid it will break again). Now I'm inspired to 'get back at it'. Thanks!
Hello dear Catherine. 👋😊 I can't help but repeat myself. You are amazing, you have great ideas, inspirations.😊👌 Thanks for that. that you are . 🤗💝I wish you all the best and greet you with love Maťa from Slovakia 🇸🇰💕💕💕❤️🌼☘️
I love this video. Just what I was looking for... it's an odd rainy day here in Phoenix, and I wanted a project I could work on in my cozy sewing area, watching the rain fall outside. Thank you!
Using all your ideas for Christmas gifts. ❤ TIP - When using, and cleaning anything microfiber….(towels, cloths, mop heads, etc. ) never use bleach, fabric softener, or fabric sheets when you launder, as those items ruin the absorption of microfiber. I’ve learned this the hard way. I read on a microfiber mop pad when I bought never use those items…🤦🏻♀️ that’s why my stuff lost its absorption.
Always a pleasure to watch. What a wonderful idea for a lounge chair. One can find those quilted blankets at the thrift store sometimes. A little wear is not a problem. Simple straight sewing. This would also be great for kitchen chairs, just modify the design. Fabulous video Ms Catherine. Thank you. Ann from Va USA 🇺🇸
Love your videos! You always make so beautiful and useful things. Greetings from Germany! ❤ As for the elastics in scrunchies, I mark the lenght on the rubber band, pull it through, secure it at the marked point and then cut it off.😊
I have used bandanas for making the curls with the same method. I have actually worn the bandana in my hair like this while skating or going to town and have gone to town and have received compliments.
When doing the cushion covers for the outside chairs, let me suggest a zipper instead of srwing it closed. Zippers aren't so difficult, it's going in a chair cushion, not a silk ball gown, and it will make care of the pillows so much easier for you. 🥰
I love your ideas. I have family and friends who may be getting some scrunchies and a hairband. A tip for you... When you want to make something like your handles that are narrow and too difficult to turn, use your iron to press in your seam allowance on both sides, pin wrong sides together, and then topstitch your seam closed.
Hi Katherine to turn fabric inside out…. 1. Cut a square piece of timber for the base 2. Buy a thin piece of dowel say 30cm tall 3. Drill a hole in centre of timber base 4. Using wood glue push dowel into hole. Makes turning long tubes of fabric quick and easy 😊x
Oh my gosh these are some fun ideas for this beginner. Your headband wrap is so cute and everything came out so great! Thank you for sharing your videos. Great job as usual. 😊
Your chair cushion is gorgeous if you do turn the fan bricks one from the back and one to the front it would’ve been reversible but so gorgeous as it is.
if you sew over some inexpensive yarn or scrap fabric on the long tube you can use that to pull it right side out without using a safety pin or pulling with fingers. Great tutorial!
i love these ideas! i was searching for sewing projects this Saturday morning, and thought the pillow cushions were a tote bag!! LOL I've been searching the thrift for this style blanket and have yet to find one! thanks for all the inspiration!
In reference to your rice bags, I have migraines and I keep mine in the freezer and use them for my headaches..it is a blessing with the pain. Love your videos! ❤❤
To turn tubes you can also use knitting needles, not the pointed end. Good video great for beginners. especially love the way you point to the area to sew.
I can't wait to make some of the warmers as holiday gifts, they'll be perfect for my mother and mil. My hair refuses to curl so I'm curious to try the curling tube.
Great video Catherine, to make the cushion handles thinner you can fold the turned out handle in half and sew the open end from about 2inches in to about 2 inches from the end and this will give you a thinner grip to get hold of (you can still do it now that you have finished, it will just be a bit fiddly) 😊 I am going to make the heatless curler for my daughter, she will love it x
i actually made those hair curlers using your last vid and gave them as easter gifts for my goddaughters and neices. they were an absolute success! they will be getting those arm scrunchies in their stockings! thank you for that catherine! lol did i spot kitty paws on wrist? maybe im trippin...
Great video, and all the projects were just lovely. Gonna give the chair cushion a try, but make some adjustments to it for my style of chairs. Great ideas, thanks for the inspiration.
So happy I found your tutorial for DIY heatless curler! Mine has seen better days as well and I was hesitant to run out to buy a new one. I'll repurpose my old satin pillowcase ❤ Thank you so much! Definitely going to subscribe 😊
If you get a short piece of pvc pipe that fits inside, you can push it in, and pull the tube up as far as you can to get to the bottom, and push the filler in the tube and through. Pull the pipe up some, and continue. This helps get all the way to the bottom and throughout without having to push it all the way through the fabric tube.
With yr over night curling strip you look like a medieval princess 👸
haha, it is definitely giving that vibe x
Next time you go to the coffee shop get some of the stirring sticks and add them to your sewing kit. They are great for turning out tubes. ❤
Oooh that’s a brilliant must remember that next time 😍😍
The plastic ones are great to put a pipe cleaner through and make a little circle on the end. Great for getting dust out of your sewing machine around the bobbin case
Chopsticks work great, too! 🥢
@@xoombug830 àQ
That's a fab idea x
I loved the hair advice, I’m 70 & I’m going to have a go with the loose curls 👍
Also loved the garden cushion. You are very gifted.
I’m sure it’ll turn out fabulous 😍😍
Thank you for this variety video mind refresher of something good. Have a blessed weekend ❤

I love your chanel I have been enjoying for over a year now, your a wonderful and cheerful person. As a older woman it makes a difference.
I paid £50 for a blanket like yours and few years later I gave to a charity shop. So wish I had kept it now.
Catherine you are very talented.
I love your garden! And your accent too! Aloha from Hawaii!🌺
😊 thank you
I'd love a video on how to sow a tote bag some day, preferably one with a little zipper pocket inside. At the moment I'm just putting handles on old pillow cases and that works too. 😄
What a creative solution! Nice idea. 😊
Handles on pillow cases is really clever and saves you lots of time! X
You know that's a great idea! I have a few old king size pillow cases and would make great beach bags. 👍
Those scrubbiest would be great when washing walls.
You are such a beautiful and talented young lady. I absolutely love the chair cushion. Everything you made looks so professional and beautiful.
It’s all trial and error 🥰 thanks for stopping by xx
Thanks for the tips and tricks You look super smart with a headband. Can wear it with confidence.❤❤❤
That chair cushion looks so nice!
Love those small prints use for your little rice bags. So pretty.
Thanks so much 😊
You are so creative! 👏🏻
👍🏻👍🏻These were easy and practical use projects made with your lovely choice of floral fabrics!!! Wonderful video!❤❤
Thanks so much 😊 I do LOVE a floral fabric x
I had my sewing machine fixed a while back but have been reluctant to use it (afraid it will break again). Now I'm inspired to 'get back at it'. Thanks!
The cushions are a great way to use old pillows
Absolutely 😍😍

You can hook the top cushion handle over the top wooden plank of the chair to keep it from sliding off the chair.
Great sewing ideas! Love the Adirondack cushions🤩
Oh, the cushions!! ❤❤❤
Glad ya like them xxx
Great ideas. I love the chair cushions. Perfect for an afternoon getaway at home.
It’s perfect 😍😍 can’t beat some comfy time outside!
Wow ! Such a neat outdoor cushion idea 😍😍😍it turned out really beautifully, thanks for this clip. Loved the gentle colour range too
Glad you liked it!!
I wish I could find some of the beautiful floral prints in my fabric shop. ❤ Loved this video. ❤ Thank you again ❤
A lot of my fabric is the cut offs of dresses that I have shortened xxx
Love this ideas. Thank you for sharing 😊
The wrist scrunchies would be wonderful while washing my dog or horse. Used to drive me batty, the water running down my arm.
Catherine you have such great ideas that are easy to follow and create. Thank you
Thanks for all those useful tips and the hair curling demo 👍❤ Catherine. Lovely video.
Thanks so much! 😊
I love your ideas. I have family and friends who may be getting some scrunchies and a hairband.
