FANTASTIC! I'm just learning how to sew by watching your videos. I embroider and would love to marry these two techniques. Thank you so much Christine!

[@rochellecandiotti3596]

I've been in a sewing and crafting funk for some time now but watching you has given me a kick-start! I should know to watch some of your videos whenever I start to feel this way as I always enjoy watching you and it's like having a friend in my sewing room that always inspires me. Thank you so much for all of your wonderful videos.🥰

[@Msmeohmy52]

Yes, Christine is my go to when I need motivation ❤

Thanks for sharing this with us I especially love the bags that fold up in the corner (I’ve been wanting to have a go at them for a while 😁) & I also love the cracker which I’m definitely gonna have a go at making so now I’m gonna head on over to your videos on how to make them 👍🏻 thanks Christine from Bev in the UK 🇬🇧 xx

[@ChristinesHomeAffairs]

Thank you Bev. Hope you managed to make a few😁

[@michelleroberts4364]

This Christmas I’m going GIANT. Girls are getting the giant travel bag and Boys are getting giant box bag. If I feel extra energetic then I’ll make the expandable bags to go inside for shoes. Those three designs plus the giant tote are my all time favourite designs and shows you have done.
Thanks again for another great episode and more ideas for things to make!

[@ChristinesHomeAffairs]

Thanks Michelle. Those giant bags are so popular. I'm sure they'll be well received😁

Been dealing with a frozen shoulder so I have hardly been sewing. Randomly your video was suggested. It had some quick projects that I plan on attempting.

[@ChristinesHomeAffairs]

I hope your shoulder heals soon Heather. I used to get it too. Very painful😁

Some great reminders of your past video tutorials. Time for me to have a go at those *helping hands* card holders, after I finish my latest projects of course. (Been poorly with ears, nose, throat recently so having a break from sewing!). Thanks again Christine for these reminders 😍

[@xoombug830]

Hi, Christine! My new obsession is bag organizers. I've been watching tons of videos, but none of them are quite right, either too small, too complicated, etc. Seems like these would be a good addition to your shop to go with your totes. I would love to see your version of an organizer for a tote bag. Most of the ones I've seen are more for purses and are too small. Pretty please, would you do a tutorial for the bestest tote organizer ever?? Nobody explains things as well as you do! Thanks so much! 🌺

[@ChristinesHomeAffairs]

That sounds like a great idea and I will definitely add it to my list! If I haven't done one soon, please remind me😊

[@xoombug830]

Christine,
Greetings from Orlando, Florida.
Your channel is one of my favorites. I have made so many of your items. I have made so many items for Christmas gifts for familyThank you so much.
I have to ask if you made your top. I bet you did. I have to ask about the pattern you used.

[@ChristinesHomeAffairs]

Thanks so much Marian. Unfortunately I didn't make the top. I haven't had time to sew for myself for a very long time😁

The Dillybag would make a great trick or treat bag for Halloween 🎃

[@ChristinesHomeAffairs]

It would be a perfect bag for that Fran😁

[@LizPeggie-wl4xv]

Hi Christine, received a bag of fabric today, but most of it is rubber backed curtain material, can you use it for shopping bags or little purses any ideas.

[@ChristinesHomeAffairs]

Hi Liz. I have to admit, whenever I get rubber backed fabric, I tend to give it away. I haven't found products that I'd like to make for the store using it as the fabric can't be washed and I worry that it will crack and perish. I really must come up with something😁

[@mypaperdreamz]

Love your ideas. I have been sewing for decades but I have no idea where to sell items. Etsy is flooded with hand sewn items. Any ideas where to sell?

[@ChristinesHomeAffairs]

I've never had any luck with Etsy. Local Facebook groups help, or perhaps you could rent a space or shelf in a boutique store to sell your bags. Markets and craft stalls are great too😁

[@alisonerasmus2686]

May I please ask you to fwd your link for making a Strawberry bag. Thanks, Alison, South Africa

Hi Christine. Do you have a video on how to make the strawberry shopping bag? I looked at all the videos but can’t find it. 😢

[@xoombug830]

Found it! It's from a year ago. The title is "DIY Eco friendly foldable shopping bag, How to sew French seams for a folding....."

Do you make your own tags or purchase in bulk?

[@ChristinesHomeAffairs]

I purchase them Cynthia. It's more economical for me that way. Details are in description of each video😁
