This design and your clear instructions are the best I’ve found online. I’ve already made three covers from my fabric stash! I use transparent ostomy bags, so this cover is perfect when I go out and it’s easy to empty. I’ll find out next month if my ostomy will be permanent or not, but living with it really isn’t that bad. 😊
Thank you so much! This was never within the realm of my imagination, but I now have a family member who needs this. Your instructions are clear, concise, and you make it look so easy. Thank you!!
Thanks so much, my daughters about to have her surgery for a stoma and she gave me her bags to size up the covers but I was wondering how to construct. Now this will make it easy for me to sew up as many as I can for her to wear with anything! ❤🥰🤗
Thank you, I'm new to the stoma bag, and hopefully going to Turkey in August, should of gone in may but my body thought differently, so making these might give me a bit more confidence xx
Thank you soooo much for this tutorial...easy and understandable 👍🏻 my mum has just had surgery and I wanted to find something to make her feel more 'human', I'm sure this will be perfect. Xx
No, there are loads of different sizes. That's why I showed how to measure and work to a particular bag. The hole sizes seem to have been similar on the ones I have seen, but the bags themselves are different.
Thank you so much for the tutorial. I can sew and pattern making comes easy for me. However I would not have doubled the back piece 🫢. Good thing I watched your video. I have one question though. Can any fabric do or do I need a stretchy fabric?
I would like to make one of these for a friend but don’t really know the size of her stoma bag. Is there a way a universal bag cover be made. ??? By the way brilliant idea . As an ex nurse it would be wonderful to show selection of covers to patients with a new colostomy. ❤
I’ll be honest, I didn’t know there were different sizes and styles until someone mentioned it. I’d made it from using someone’s bag. I’m not even sure if the fittings are all the same either. Sorry I couldn’t be more help.
Thank you, very helpful I have bought bag covers online but they never fit my bag properly. I'm thinking of learning how to sew and make my own. This is a great help on what to do, although I suspect that it is nowhere as easy as you make it look!
Thank you so much for your tutorial, I now know how to make a similar one to yours 😊. I'm making mine for my grandson, he is almost 1yr old, he has spina bifida and a problem with his bowel (not related to the spina bifida). He has had his stoma since he was 3 or 4 days old. I have watched soo many videos on here but I couldn't understand half of them. Thanks once again ❤
@@SoozInTheShedwhat they’re saying is if the bag is attached to someone’s stomach/stoma- they won’t be able to put the bag through the bottom. most people put covers on while they’re wearing their appliance. i have an ostomy and i can fit my bag when it’s empty through the hole in the middle of a cover, so that would most likely be what needs to be done

Aww thank you, glad it was ok for you.

Glad it was helpful!

Fantastic tutorial. Best one I've seen. Thank you so much for sharing. Already made one for my partner.

Thank you. I want to make these for my father in law who is in the UK. You've answered my question about the size. I'll have to find out what he uses.
Thank you , simple and concise 👍 will give this a try tomorrow x
What material do you use?
Cotton or something with a stretch?
Thank you for this clear tutorial. Can you please tell me are all adult stoma bags the same size? I would imagine a child would have smaller?
No, there are loads of different sizes. That's why I showed how to measure and work to a particular bag. The hole sizes seem to have been similar on the ones I have seen, but the bags themselves are different.

I have one question though. Can any fabric do or do I need a stretchy fabric?
I don't have a bag to trace. Do you know the approximate measurements of your cover? Great video.
I would like to make one of these for a friend but don’t really know the size of her stoma bag.
Is there a way a universal bag cover be made. ???
By the way brilliant idea . As an ex nurse it would be wonderful to show selection of covers to patients with a new colostomy. ❤

Thank you so much for making this video! I'm going to make some for my neighbor today 😊
Do you need a simple cotton fabric, or do you take a coated cotton fabric?
Just regular cotton fabric
What kind of the sewing machine are you using?
It’s a Brother A150
Would like to make waterproof bag can i use same pattern
Of course, and you can use a cheap thin shower curtain for the waterproof parts
Tried it and it worked well x
Excellent. Thank you.
Good morning how are you do you make and sell those

The way you put the bag into this garment will not work with my bag if it is attached to my body
Is your bag different? I have only seen a couple of bags and they both worked this way.... I'd be interested in how other bags work.

@@SarahRuscoe-y4s I used cotton.
