    Hi 💕 I’m so happy you taught me how to make these pretty little pouches. My daughter is getting married soon and I’d love to make one each for her bridal party to put their tissues, tic tacs and wet wipes in for the day . I saw you make a poop bag pouch similar too. Can you please make a tutorial for that too. We take our little chihuahua everywhere with us and she needs her own clean up couture 💕🐾 thank you so much. I’m loving your cooking ideas too

      @ChristinesHomeAffairs  ปีที่แล้ว

      Rose, some zips are harder than others to do. No.5 are much easier than the No.3's. I also have days where they just won't work easily for me.
      Here's a very quick video I did for the thinner No.3 zips that will work the same for the bigger ones as well. Hope this helps😀

    • @ChristinesHomeAffairs
      @ChristinesHomeAffairs  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Thanks so much Helene. I'm fortunate that in my town there is a local who owns a warehouse. He used to give me offcuts, and due to a massive overstock, gave me the excess. My partner and I as part of our deceased estate clean outs for our shops, get access to plenty of fabric that way too. The locals also know that I'll take fabric to reuse..... You can go to local fabric stores and ask for offcuts or sample swatches, and even furniture/curtaining manufacturers for their end of rolls. They often have it in abundance. Good luck in your new venture 😀
