You can also deconstruct and use Dollar Tree leashes and collars for sewing projects...I use the leashes for tote handles and then the collars I deconstruct for the hardware...Happy Sewing!!
i hadn't thought of that ! Believe it or not I deconstruct bags I find at Goodwill for the hardware. The Older the bag the more fun the hardware. never thought of Dollar tree Salvaging till now LOL
@@debidiaz6569 I also deconstruct the small backpacks to use the zippers and material for pocket liners...and yes, I shop at the local Thrift Store for purse/pouch hardware as well!! I love a good Scavenger Hunt!! Happy Sewing!!
Oh-My Goodess!! That set is CUTE!!! got to make some!!! Just found you on TH-cam, so glad I did, you exude sunshine and kindness, keep the projects coming!
@@bettykroll and a fork. Use it to hold the zipper pull in place between the tines, facing away from me. Then I put the handle of the fork against my chest or belly, load the zipper ends in and pull down on them.
I am 75 but a beginner sewist, never had time. Several friends sew and started me into it but your videos inspire me. No tension just easy learning. You make me happy, sewing makes me happy thank you
Great project! I love how you use pieces from other items to create your vision. I save all the heavy clear plastic zipper bags that bedding and linens come in. My family thinks I am crazy, cheap, a hoarder of trash, and the list goes on. It literally makes my heart warm when I give them a homemade gift and they love it. Sometimes I even tell them what trash I used to make it! LOL Recycle/Upcycle is my motto...
When you said “Look at that bandana that’s cute” I laughed out loud because you sounded just like me when I am on an adventure looking thru my stuff 😂😂😂
I can’t tell you how much I needed to hear your positivity. I’m in a mental funk and it was so nice and reminded me sometimes I just need a little accomplishment. ❤
Your attitude on “if it fails, it fails” has helped me so much! I was so afraid to try new materials and trying to make different things. Now I use your attitude, and try! Doesn’t always work but I change it to make something else ! Thank you so much! Love your tutorials!
I am so much the same way!! I don’t like scary or sad movies either. Your lanyard is cute. I am loving these dish drying mat creations!! TFS. Your tutorials are so wonderful!
This is fabulous. My new addiction is dish mat bags and such so keep the ideas coming. Went shopping and came home with a ridiculous amount of dish mats. Yay! To the sewing room I go
I was in Ross recently and they had some gorgeous dish mats . They were a little pricier than the DT but not as pricey as the big box stores. ❤ Love your videos!
Thank you for taking us ALONG on your template making journey. ❤ when you discovered the zipper stoppers in your Amazon pack. Half-expected you to smash your thumb after that mishap with the electric kettle. You're so cute!
I am so glad I found you! I have been able to sew for a few years because I’d neck and back issues. I had both corrected by surgery last year and now I’m ready to get started sewing again. I have been looking for quick projects to make. You’re a God send!
I love your Barney Bag! I definitely remember the song! I actually went to a Dollar Tree in search of the dish mats! I bought several and am excited to make a bags! I may have to go back and get more to make this little project! It’s super cute!❤
So pleased I found you , only just a week or so ago , have been watching so many of your vloggs sunce m enjoyed them all . Thanks for your great ideas and always with a smile .
I’ve been making 50 lanyards a year for our quilt guild retreat for many years, and have never seen how you join the edges. Love it. It will make this year’s job so much easier. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Thank you for this(and all the other videos). I went out and got supplies to make my daughter (she's a freshman in college) one to hold her dorm swipe card, so she doesn't always have to take it out, and the zipper pouch holds her meal card and room key perfectly with room to hold whatever else. You are absolutely amazing! And thank you for instilling confidence is us 👍😊🥰
I'm going to make that I got all the materials like you did from the Dollar tree I was surprised that I found them I hope mine turns out as good as yours those are cute I thought about making the pumpkins too thank you and keep doing what you're doing you're a good sewer for showing us these ideas God bless
I'm going to give this a try and love your tutorial. The only thing i wish you had show how you would make the slot opening vertical due to possible sliding out on the horizontal..Thank you so much.
Great ideas. Thanks for sharing. If your plastic doesn’t last clear vinyl on the roll in the fabric store is pretty strong. I use it to protect my books.
I absolutely love that you use parts from other items and come up with such beautiful pieces!! I’m definitely heading to dollar tree today so I can made one of these. You’re such a joy to watch and remind me of myself, I’m a self taught sewer and have made a ton of things by just diving in and trying it. Thanks
I'm new to this channel and have become obsessed. You are a hook and such an inspiration. I learned to sew in high school and sort of gave it up in my 30s. You have sparked my interest again. Back to binge watching your channel 😅
So cute ! ! ! I love looking at all your sewing videos ! I wondered if you could do some more projects using the clear plastic. Also, since school has started maybe you would consider doing a book cover tutorial using dollar tree fat quarters or some other dollar tree item?
O Mylanta! This is the cutest little project. This is a perfect project for leftover quilt scraps as well. Thank you so much for the encouragement and tutorial.
Love it! Very cute! I’ve tried a few lanyards need to get the length right still working on that. My daughter’s friend who is going to nursing school wanted a pen pocket or pen pouch to attach to the lanyard. Again I’ve tried several different ways but still having a little trouble sizing them correctly and centering the tab for attaching the lanyard. 🙄 but I keep trying. Thanks for your videos.
I've been sewing for years and I was also a teacher for many years for middle schoolers. I am impressed with you on both counts. Great job and a pleasure to watch.
I found a clear plastic sort of purse organization at Dollar Tree that would make several windows, and it even has a zipper that I used on a makeup bag!!
My hubby loves that i watch your videos. Finding ways to repurpose fabric even say clothing we would toss from holes has been fun. I’ve made stuff for my kid or used them to test out an idea so I could tweak it as I make it
Love your videos! I am trying all of your sewing ideas. I also am building up my Dollar Tree stash. I hit the jackpot the other day - their end of summer sale was bogo.
I’ve worn lanyards a lot at work. Add to your notes for future projects to sew the lanyard like you do when you make binding for quilts. It will debunk that strap so it doesn’t rub on your neck.
I wish you were my neighbor, friend or sewing buddy..I love the way your mind works. What fun we could have. Thanks for your time making these videos.
That would be cool!
I wish the same!❤ She is so fun and lively!😊
Find me a house in your neighborhood, too!!!!
Me too, ❤your videos. Western Australia don’t have dollar store
Trttrrr

My dad does this. He likes to sew
Needle nose pliers are your best friend when it comes to zipper stops
I was thinking the same thing.
Fantastic job!!!
@@bettykroll and a fork. Use it to hold the zipper pull in place between the tines, facing away from me. Then I put the handle of the fork against my chest or belly, load the zipper ends in and pull down on them.
I bet your key fob pliers would work, too.
I love the way you present your instructions -- the kindness flows from you!
Thank you so much!

So relatable!
@@geebamom hilarious, and true

Good idea
Please post the zipper tape with the stops. Thank you for all the knowledge you share.
I can’t tell you how much I needed to hear your positivity. I’m in a mental funk and it was so nice and reminded me sometimes I just need a little accomplishment. ❤
you make this look so fun and accessible.
Perfect for use on a cruise for your cruise card while on the ship.

That is the cutest little card bag I have ever seen. Love It!!
Thank you so much!
WOW another great video, love the pouch looks great, be great for a teenager like my granddaughter! Thank again for teaching and sharing! Hugs Liz x
Add a plastic snap on the little window to ensure your card doesn’t fallout!!! I’m off to DT once again! Thank you Chelsea for another fun project!

O Mylanta! This is the cutest little project. This is a perfect project for leftover quilt scraps as well. Thank you so much for the encouragement and tutorial.
Very cute 😊
You could use Velcro on the lanyard to make it “breakaway”.
:). I love the Zipper stops! I need those - Also I have a rubber mallet as part of my sewing room supplies! LOL
Love it! Very cute! I’ve tried a few lanyards need to get the length right still working on that.

Love the lace on your sleeves!
You are sweet, zippers do scare me but I'm learning from you and a great sister in Christ. Thank you for sharing. Have a blessed day

Yay! Thank you!

I ordered stickers. I’m so excited to get them
You are a breath of fresh air!! Love your energy and your projects
`yes zipper by the yard is the way to go. Now I wonder if you have a tutorial for the duffel bag
I would love to try that one. TY
