or if you want something smaller…..cloth napkins (instead of a tablecloth).
i use recycled flannel shirts or old vintage sheets to make mine.
this is a great tutorial and i know it will help a lot of people.
great job!
Thanks so much for such a great series! I’ll be linking.
thank you, I just made my first hem following your video!
casey, what a great way to reuse!
noa, that’s wonderful to hear. So glad our videos are helpful
I’m so afraid of the sewing machine that I hand sew everything – I do have a sewing machine. I recently hand sewed a pair of pants for my daugter, I think it took an hour and a half while I was watching tv one night. I’m going to go through your tutorials and see if I can bring myself to actually use the sewing machine.
By the way, love your site. I found it searching for cupcakes and I’ve looked through a lot of the different pages/areas you have.
Hi Ashley! We’re glad you found our site and hope you continue to enjoy it.
Sewing machines can be so intimidating, but they are there to be used, so give yours a try! What’s the worst that can happen? You ruin some old, scrap fabric?
We’re glad you’re enjoying our videos. We’ve got lots more to come!
I LOVE these tutorials. I can’t wait to see what you post next. Maybe I’ll actually become friends with my sewing machine someday.
