I love when you are both folding in the centimeter of fabric. I had to laugh Arne taking over Carlos’ job !You can tell you have been together a long long time. Very sweet 💜🌿💚
😂
I can never get enough of project bag tutorials.
They are the best.
You all are hilarious! When Carlos said he was "unemployed again," Arne rolled his eyes so hard he almost fell over!
Ha ha ha
This is a great idea to make the placemats out of the fat quarters, because you save a lot of fabric and it’s expensive. Thank you so much I learned a lot today.
I so enjoy watching you two sewing. Learning the metric measurements here in the USA for us older girls is hard. Lots of things here are using metric measurements. Hopefully as we keep trying we will get. North Carolina USA
Of course we need rolls of all your fabrics. They are so beautiful!
💖🙋🇸🇪
Hope you two are hale and healthy! We appreciate all the ideas you share during this time. Stay well!
Thank you Lisa.
I prefer metric when I sew, and I have several metric Olfa rulers. Your fabric is beautiful, and you guys are a great team, Ironman and The Ripper. Thank you for the entertaining demonstration!
Thankyou both of you. You have helped so many people, me being one of them😁, throughout these difficult times.
I have bought a few of your books over the recent weeks and so far I have made 3 lovely quilts. 12 gorgeous birds and 6 lovely ideas books, all with the help of my 7 year old granddaughter 😁 She made a lovely cookbook and is busy filling it with recipes😂 then we made grandad a bird 🦅 book to record his sightings when he goes birdwatching.
We’ve been so busy thanks to both of you we have hardly had a moment to be ‘bored’.
Keep well both of you and keep up the good work.
Love you both 💜🌷💚
You have been busy and thank you for supporting us Carol!
Shirts, dresses, needle cases, and project bags! Why limit to just one? All would be such fun! Woo Hoo!!!
Lets make them all!
I just came across you two guys today, you're fabulous and I enjoy watching your work. Thanks.
Lined curtains and table cloths to go with the placemats. A pretty dress or skirt for those of us who wish to dress modestly but doesn't break the pocket book. Pillows for all areas of the house. The possibilities are endless. Can hardly wait to see your fabric line.
I love that fabric. I wish my local quilt shop would carry it.
Yes, we hope they will be readily available all over soon.
Tote bags would be a good project. Bags to take shopping to avoid using plastic. Sewing knee cushions for gardening and cushions for outdoor furniture. Pretty pillowcases made with your lovely fabric.
Thank you Frances.
That's the rule: fabric scissors for fabric ONLY! Love the envelope corner. Thank you! Summer going well? Good to see you two today. Most of our measuring instruments have both metric and "inches " marked and the children in the USA are much more comfortable with metric than their grandparents.
That is interesting.
The lighting on this video is excellent! Thanks for the tutorial.
You are welcome!
I love your fabric line. I was over at the Anchor site looking at all the colourways and thinking about pillows. While it's hard to pick a favourite, the Solhatt design makes me feel happy when I look at it.
Thank you!
Arne and Carlos, I love watching you. Your fabric line is very beautiful. I wish you were my neighbors.
🌺💙🌼❤️🌿🌸🧡

"If you know how to cheat, you know how to sew." Love this. Does it also apply to knitting? Because I cheat at that a little bit, too. Lovely video guys!
It is called a shortcut! I sew, knit and crochet.
Everything is allowed, it is your project.
Very beautiful fabrics, I wish they sold it in Canada. Thanks for sharing always enjoyable. Idea pillowcases, cushions and tablecloths
Great suggestions.
Forgot to add, ur lovely dogs r wearing some knitwears....cute as ever, happy as a lark ...truly a blessing! Enjoy ur video , brilliant!
Love your method of making a placemat. I'm doing it for my next project.
Hi lovelies , greetings from Ireland . I would love to see tutorials for project bags , circular needle holders , aprons, table runners , placemat for hot pots placed on table . Oven gloves , pillow cases ... etc :0) Loved your video as always . Those corners were 😍
Gentlemen, greetings from Georgia, USA. I really enjoy your show; so happy I found you. I want to make these placemats; but first I'll need to buy some of your beautiful fabric. And, yes, I would appreciate a video on making project bags and accessories to match. Thank you! Stay safe and well.
Thank you so much for watching!
I would love to see a video on making a large tote bag with pockets. I am a quilter and not sure how to approach a 3 dimensional project.
Thank you!
Do napkins, needle cases..... all of it please. Love watching you.
Good suggestions!
I would like to learn how to make knitting needles case, crochet hooks case, doll clothes. Thank you!!!
Great projects.
Carlos I hope you are feeling better. you look great and so does Arnie. .love you guys
Thank you Janice!
Came as soon as I got the notification!
Your timing is perfect, this very week I picked up my mother’s old sewing machine from the repair shop, and I’m looking for new projects so I can practice my sewing a bit! Thank you so much, love your videos! ♥️
Thank you for watching!
Project bags please! 😍
I love your fabric in all the colors!
Thank you Dannie!
To echo what others have said -- knit and/or crochet needle cases are always useful - as are project bags (zip, drawstring, or bento closure). I have to admit though, I'm a bit addicted to project bags, both making my own and buying from others, so I have trouble being objective. Thanks, gentlemen! You always bring a smile and great ideas to the table. Hugs from Maine...
Thank you Donna.
Hi Guys,
The fabrics are so pretty. I was taught by my sister to wash, dry and iron cotton
fabric to preshrink the fabric before cutting and sewing. I will be trying that cool
corner thing for sure.
Sandie USA
Thank you Sandie and do try it!
Thank you very much for your beautiful video. Love your pattern and your fabric.
Thank you for watching Evelyn.
The place mats are fabulous and your own designed fabrics are so beautiful 🌼🌸🌺
Thank you!
I love the fabric, beautiful.
❤️❤️
I love you guys! I look forward to every one of your videos. You are so knowledgeable and you are able to explain the details very well. Thank you and I hope you guys are having an awesome weekend!!
We are having a good weekend.
It would be beautiful to make a set of napkins using all of the different coordinating fabrics from a collection. For a family that “saves” their napkins from meal to meal, everyone could be sure they are using their own napkin. You are the best! ALWAYS inspiring!
That would be nice.
More sewing projects! Like a quick project!
Thank you Jennifer, we have done some on crazy quilts as well.
The fabric you designed is beautiful, I love all of the designs and colour ways. Also, could I move into your home please 😁🌹
Hi A&C for the moment I am sewing a lot. So this tutorial came in handy. I have made skirts from jeans I didn’t like to use anymore. Everything you do is awesome💕💕Thank you
Thank you for watching!
Hi Arne and Carlos. How are you doing? I love, love the place mat. I just finished one pillow with the patches you designed and I crocheted a black band around. Looks pretty cool. Then I packed it will black fabric in a cross over panels. It looks fabulous and I think my son will love it. Thank you so much. Oh, I had to blow off a lot of dust from my sewing machine. Ha Ha!!
Ha ha, thank you for supporting us and we hope your son likes it.
Oooooh!!! I got to see THE scissors!!! Yay! 🤗
Hurray!
Love the fabric....sewing makes me break out in hives....deb...steamy in Indiana...almost hibernation season
Thank you!
Fabulous video, love the attention to detail.
Thank you!
Project bag tutorials both drawstring and zipper. Notion pouches, etc. Thanks for the tutorial.
Thank you!
Gentlemen for the scissors make a leather case using the paper one as a template. Safer to travel with and store. I have a sewing only scissors that is in it’s own little case and my family knows do not touch. Separate scissors for paper have colorful handles. As far as converting from metric to inches I am using your instructions with metric that helps me understand metric. So it is a good thing to learn something new. I do love the red fabrics that Arne showed. Would be nice for an everyday December winter time placemat. Those are sharp scissors! Like cutting into butter. I agree the ironing should not be overlooked.
Thank you for all your tips Bernadette!
I'd like to see needle cases, project bags, sewing machine pad, etc
Thank you!
Love your fun tutorials! How about some nice fabric baskets? Contrasting fabric trim? Could be different shapes or nesting.
That could be nice.
I love your fabrics !
Thank you Angela!
Beautiful scissors. I would love to sew a bucket back for my knitting projects with pockets please. Love your fabrics too. Thank you
Thank you"
Great video. Any more sewing projects would be fun. Perhaps pillow covers x
Thank you Sian.
Yes thanks for the placemat tutorial. A knitting case would be grand🤗
Thank you Janice.
Enjoy watching ur videos. Ty for sharing.
Thank you for watching!
Really enjoyed the placemat video. So easy to follow. I especially loved the beautiful fabrics! Thank You!
You are welcome!
Beautiful fabric. One idea: make the placemats reversible, with your beautiful fabric on both sides, maybe different pattern or colour. Cheers, 🇨🇦
Thank you!
I love doing the snip and rip technique. Finally got myself some fabulous scissors last year after my kids moved out. Projects for the future....possibly cooking apron and coordinating hot pads, a knitting project tote, all sorts of possibilities using your beautiful line of fabrics .
An apron and hot pads would be nice.
Hi Arne&Carlos,
A needle case for dpns,
and interchangeable circular needles would be good😀
And even a shirt sounds like fun:)
Thank you for sharing a great tutorial.😘
KimXX
Thank you for the suggestions!
Just watched your instruction. Those corners are neat. And making it first in paper is such a good idea! The last few weeks I have sewn Barbie doll clothes for my granddaughter all by hand, because for such small sizes it is not worth getting the sewing machine on the table. I would like to make a pillowcase for small pillows if possible. Due to our age we bought special kind of pillows for our heads on our bed. When you buy duvetcovers those come with one size pillowcases. They never fit our special pillows. But I am sadly to inexperienced to adapt a pattern. Wouldn't know how to do that. Just started to do more sewing after about 38 years just using the machine for little jobs like patching or shortening trousers. Thanks very much. Marian from Fryslân (North of the Netherlands, not Holland!!)
You are welcome Marian.
Thanks for another fun video Arne & Carlos! I love that you’re both so encouraging and humble. I hope you are well Arne and that you’re feeling better Carlos. Take care, we miss you ❤️
Yes, we are getting better everyday.
Thank you, I enjoy knitting and crochet but I LOVE to sew. Clothes, quilts, place mats, anything really so I enjoyed this. I use chopsticks on my corners to push them out. I used to own a fabric store and ripped a lot but there is a sound that really good, sharp scissors make and I could hear it with that pair..lol Do you ever pre-wash your fabrics so the shrinkage is already accounted for ? This was also a really pretty video to watch, not sure if it was the lighting or the room but very nice. Hope you are continuing to feel better, enjoy your week !!
Good idea with the chopsticks.
Barb Smith. My mother and grandmother were both excellent seamstresses, and my grandmother sewed professionally. I regret not having the patience to continue on with sewing after having had a few rudimentary lessons in junior high home economics class. My mother was certainly willing to teach me from that point forward, but I just knew I wasn't cut out for sewing (pardon the pun).
But it amazes me that I do still remember those few basics learned from my home economics teacher. From that, my question for you concerns what my teacher called "pulling a thread". That involved pulling a thread out of the length or width of the fabric, depending on the direction you were cutting, so that you would have that narrow open path to follow in order to cut a perfectly straight edge. Is that still a common practice in sewing? Thank you.
Arne and Carlos you have inspired me so much, I’m learning to knit (I’m a crocheter) and to sew again! Thank you! Love your videos and hope you are enjoying your time off in that wonderful garden of yours. 😊💕
Thank you Laura!
You’re are very joyful to watch and I also learn. Thank you
You are welcome, thank you for watching.
The placemats are gorgeous! I would love to see a shirt tutorial. :)
We might have to make one!
Although I don't sew, I really enjoyed this video because it brought back so many wonderful memories of watching my mother and grandmother sew. The pace, lighting, and conversations were all very relaxing. I plan to watch it again. Well done.
Per your request for further sewing ideas, a project bag with pockets.
Yes, there seems to be quite a demand for project bags.
Thank you as usual for all your sharing.
Thank you for watching!
I ❤️ love this! Thank you! I’m going to try this corner on a quilt top. Hope you are having a peaceful summer at home.
Thank you Julie!
How to sew a project bag would be wonderful, thank you 😊
Me too! I love project bags to give as gifts.
Thank you for the suggestion!
I really want to learn how Arne makes a shirt using an old shirt as the pattern, please.
Me too
Maybe one day!
you take apart an old shirt and use the pieces as a pattern. add 5/8 for seam allowance and there you go!
Ah you are no fun AMcCoco! I want Arne and Carlos to entertain me, I mean, teach me!!!🤗
Aprons! Your fabric would be so cute in an apron. I like the kind that cross with straps in the back and you put it on over your head, but any kind really.
Apron would be a good project.
Hi Arne and Carlos. Thank you for continuing to upload great videos. Wishing Carlos a speedy recovery. Miss you live! XO Jan
Thank you Jan.
Great sewing episode! Would love to see knitting project bags and needle cozies! Your fabric is beautiful 🌸
Thank you Lana.
Lovely tutorial and your fabric designs are beautiful. I have a tip for you should you make another dozen placemats. In order to speed up the production, iron the interfacing (that's what we call it in the U.S.) on a large section of uncut fabric. Then, when you cut the fabric the interfacing is already attached.
Thank you, that is a great tip!
Gillar alla råd ;-) Fiffigt med hörnen. Tusen Tack!
Det var så lite!
The placemats are gorgeous. When you were adding the muslin backing, I was thinking the mats might be made reversible and get double the usage out of them. Thanks for sharing the tips for making the corners. Have a great week and stay safe.
You are welcome, thank you for watching Donna.
Hello A&C! Would love to see a summer tunic dress or simple summer shift dress! Needle/hook case/tote would be fun also. Plus, maybe, Arne's shirt he made in your new fabrics? I really enjoy your videos and content. Since I'm now knitting and crocheting the Norwegian way - my neck and shoulders thank you!!!
We are so glad to read that!
You guys are so clever! Thanks for the helpful suggestions on how to make a great corners. I also have holy scissors ✂️ lol... my kids complain about the fact that they aren’t allowed to use them. 😂 I think it is easy for us to use centimeters even if we use inches. The tape measure has two sides and we can easily flip it and use centimeters and follow you guys exactly. Thanks and hope you have a great week! Much love to both of you!
That is very true. Keep your scissors safe.
ARNE & CARLOS 😂😂😂😂✂️✂️✂️✂️
If you take care with the size of your stitches, it will have a 'finished' look. I like a slightly larger length stitch which can be seen a bit mostly depending on the color of the thread on the color(s) of the fabric. Proper size stiches also means the placemat does not pucker up along that seam line. Beautiful fabrics!
Thank you Diane!
Beautiful fabric and would love to make a placemat or two. Thanks for sharing🇨🇦🤗🤗🤗 Glad you are both doing well.
Thank you Annette.
Almost 50 years ago I decided that I CAN NOT sew !
But now, seeing this, I begin to wonder if I should get a machine and try again :D
Thankyou for such a great tutorial !!!!
Yes, something to hold knitting/crochet needles would be wonderful . At least I can watch in awe how you do it ;-)
Give it a go, what can go wrong?
This comment makes me laugh because my mother tried to teach me to sew when I was a teenager and I got so mad ripping out seams I messed up that I swore I'd never sew again. Knitting and crochet are fine, but sewing just seems impossible.
Thank you for sharing. I will be making a couple of these placemats . Love the corners. Beautiful fabrics I hope I can get some here in Canada.
Yes, so do we.
Aprons from your fabric 🤗👍
I’d love to see DPN set holder. Great watching you sew together!
I forgot to say project bags as well 💕
Thank you Eleanor!
Thanks for the placemat video. Loved the mitred corners!
Thank you Judith.
A mitered corner that is when two edges meet at a 45* angle - your envelope corner. Regards from Lisboa, Portugal
Thank you!
Love the big flowers on dark redish background. Seems like mask are all Im making these days for the protesters here in Denver
Keep up the good work Gail, it is important.
Beautiful materials!!
Thank you Susan.
a sock needle case would be fantastic💖
Good idea.
Love the envelope corners. Great tutorial. Thanks
You are welcome!
Love your sewing projects. Since I am a quilter, I have lots of fat quarters lol. Not sure what fleecelin is, looks like it could be what we here in Canada call fusible interfacing. It comes in various thickness. In quilting, we have a product called fusible fleece which is a little different ( I think the thickness). Anyway, I’m sure we can find something here that would work. Would love to see you make table runner out of your beautiful fabric to even a bag. We were set to do a tour of the UK but because of COVID 19, trip was cancelled 😢. I had a list of shops that carried your fabrics. Thank you for sharing🧶🧶🧵🧵🇨🇦
That is a great idea!
Your fabric line is gorgeous. I love the deep colors. I'll have to keep an eye out for it here in the US. 🌼🌸🌺🐝🌱 Luckily for us in US, our tape measures have centimeters on one side and inches on the other so no need to convert your measurements. 😁
Great!
I love your fabrics! I like to rip, or tear, fabric - you know the fabric is straight when you tear. But it does make rough edges.
I think I would made a double sided placemat. Sometimes my guests (ahem!) spill food on my placemats.
Most rulers and tape measures in the U.S. have both inches and metric.
New, sharp scissors are a joy - you can cut all the way to the tip!
Sharp scissors are so important.
Very informative! We were taught in sewing class in high school that when you buy cotton from fabric stores the end should be ripped. I was also taught when you sewed around the edge you should do it on the right side! I much prefer your suggestion of sewing on the back. I will definitely following your instructions in future. Here in Canada we use Metric; however, because we get many of our patterns from the USA we also have to know the Imperial method. I recently bought one of your crochet patterns and was disappointed to see that you used the American crochet instructions. I learned to crochet the English way. However, I picked it up quickly. Love your podcasts. Say hi to Freya for me. Our dog likes to bark at the bears to keep them away. We don’t often have moose wander onto our property.
We will say hi to her from you and make sure you are safe from the bears.
Watching your lovely and instructive vidéo while binding an art journal inspired by you.
Thank you 🌸
Thank you for watching!
I've found it easier to use metrics if that is how the instructions are written. If converting, you can get into some crazy fractions. In the USA the usual seam allowance, when quilting, is a quarter inch. Really enjoy your tutorials! Thanks!
You are welcome!
Very nice to see how you make the place mats.
I would like to know how you make needle cases and projectbags.🤗
Hi Ingrid, good suggestions.
Thank you Arne and Carlos....gorgeous mats!
You are welcome!
Ooooo I would love some of that fabric in a project bag. Make a project bag in the Scandinavian Red. That would be beautiful. Thanks for that placemat video I loved it
You are welcome Kris.
Those fabrics are so beautiful, I wish I could get them in New Zealand. Your mats are gorgeous
Thank you!
Love, Love your fabrics❤️. I wish we could get them in Canada, they are gorgeous! Also love the way you did those corners, they are perfect. Hope you’re keeping safe and healthy.
Thanks🤗
We are, thank you for caring.
I would love to see how you make pillows, I never could get my corners right !
Good idea.
