    I found you while recovering from foot surgery 8 months ago and learned how to sew my first zipper. Now have my own label, found a free fabric source, and sell at a quarterly pop-up and online! You’re such an inspiration, and I am so grateful for your easy instructions!

    that linen is a find! linen will get softer and stronger over time, and will last generations. I have some handwoven Lithuanian linen that is 4 generations old, still wearing well.

Thank you again, I'm I know that there are people out there. They can't, so I would buy. But i'd never see any one around me about. My sister keeps encouraging me that I can't be done.

      Dale, I used to think my products weren't worth anything either, or that my time was even valuable. I had to make myself believe otherwise and I still doubt myself all the time, and have to work on it every day.
      When I get customers come in that are excited by what I do, and have a big spend up, I'm always pleasently surprised. There are just as many people that will baulk at the prices, or handmade concept as there are those that will love and appreciate what you do. You can only have a go, and if it doesn't work out, at least you've had fun sewing, and will have loads of gifts to give to those that will appreciate them😊

    What sewing machine, needle and thread do you use for upholstery fabric?

    • @ChristinesHomeAffairs

      When I first started making them, I used a Janome Mystyle about 15 years old. It made the first two thousand bags, as well as doing my alterations and dressmaking. I have since moved over to industrial machines as they're much faster. For the first couple of years, I mostly used 90/14 universal needle. Now I use that, or larger needles.😁

    Where do you sell your products at? Flea markets? Or in stores?

      Patricia, I have a second hand store in our little town where I incorporate all I make. I provide alterations from there for the community as well. I also sell online and via social media😁

    How do you go about getting people to donate the upholstery samples and the rest of the fabric you have received?

    How do you come about the fabric, is it easy to get? ❤😊

      It's not too difficult once you get your foot in the door .
      I did a video last week on free fabric with some suggestions, and have a playlist about that too 😀

    Is the upholstery fabric washable?

      I'm not sure if it's all washable Kathy, but most of it is able to be washed😁

    The drawback of not charging for fabric is that one day you may have to charge for fabric, so your prices will have to increase for, essentially, the same product.

    • @ChristinesHomeAffairs

      I have so much fabric stashed away, I'm unlikely to use it up in this lifetime Marianne, but if I ever did, I think I'd be ready to retire 😅

      Raquel, I've done a few videos that may help you source fabric in your area😁

      Kathy, I have some videos in my FREE FABRIC playlist that will help😁

    You could have given him something. That's only fair.

      I did Katherine. He didn't want money for them, so I made him a linen throw in his favourite colour. He was very happy with it.
      Whenever companies give me free fabric, I always give them gifts of products I've made whether it be for their worker or themselves.
      None have ever wanted payment, and are happy to see that fabric isn't being thrown out.
      Something I didn't mention in the video is that if I receive free fabric, I never charge that out in my finished product. I'll always pay it forward. 🙂
