Awesome tutorial!! Your explanations and exact placement of pins, hand stitching and taking the extra time to so everything was so very helpful. Some of us so best with seeing exactly what is done rather than just hearing an explanation. Kudos to you and a big thank you. You are the best.
After watching B&E stitchery with Stephanie from the New England stitcher I had to come watch this tutorial! They finished a drum and they were so darn cute I want one too ! Your tutorial was just so amazing I actually feel like I might be able to do one ! Thank you so much for your instructions and so many great tips ! If I do one I’ll bring it to Stitch New England retreat to show them ,they are all such enablers !😂🩷
This was a great tutorial! You took away my fear of stitching and finishing a drum. Thanks for taking the time to explain all of the steps in a clear manner. 🥰
I admit I’m tired, ready for bed and having a cup of hot tea. Thought you were saying a 5” dull needle. Then you said “be careful they are sharp”. But you said a full needle. Oh! 🤦♀️ a doll needle! 😂 I really want to try a drum soon. Your tutorials are excellent.
That was a fantastic tutorial! So appreciate the time you spent explaining everything. I've been wanting to tackle a drum for quite a while. You gave me the inspiration and tools I need to start. Thank you so much!
Thank you for this tutorial. You are very good at explaining how to finish these drums. I really appreciate that no math was involved. And also that you showed two different types of drums. Thank you again.
Great tutorial- thank you so much! You’ve convinced me that I need a bodkin - what a good job it does getting all that stuffing in! Your tutorials are so detailed and helpfu!
Your drum tutorial is wonderful! You're a great teacher too! I think I'll need to watch the video over and over before I even get the nerves to try a practice drum. I have a couple of pieces waiting and a few stand ups that need finishing. I really like how you used the interfacing as the guide for the width of the sides instead of putting the interfacing on the whole side piece like I was thinking. Great video! Thank you!!!
I just watched your drum tutorial and it was GREAT! You explain and show everything in such great detail. I think I could even do one. 😂 Thank you for sharing…… Debbie
That was fantastic. I don't know if I would have the patience that would be required but I'm will give it a try anyway. Thanks so very much for taking the time to teach this. You explain perfectly.
Thank you for a great tutorial. Your instructions are very easy to understand and follow. This came at a perfect time. I'm in the process of making my first drum. I saved your video & will definitely watch it again as I'm completing my drum.❤
Thank you for the FABULOUS tutorial! I have wanted to make a drum for a while and today I took the plunge! It was definitely the hardest finish I have ever done, BUT I did it and I will do it again… and hopefully it will turn out better than the 1st one 😊
Once again Helen, you have given a fantastic and thorough tutorial! You increase my confidence so much and show every tiny step in detail! Thank you so much for the time you take to guide me along my stitching journey! Take good care, Laurel 💖
Great tutorial! I especially appreciated the things that are a little persnickety and how you handled them. Many don't explain those little glitches and people give up trying because they can't get past it.
Another just SUPERB tutorial! I followed your strawberry finish too. Great showing and explanation. The only one I haven’t managed yet is where we spoke of the block finish on foam block and Halloween a few years ago. Thank you once again!!!
Brilliant presentation! For those who have a hard time seeing, UA-cam lets you zoom in by pinching the video. I was able to see Helen's joining process perfectly by zooming in.
Thanks for the tutorial. I’ve never tried a drum, but this makes it possible. I will go with Pi x diameter = circumference for the measurements. Patti the math nerd
Thank you! I will definitely give some of your tips and tricks a try! I just so happen to have three drums that I'm just at the adding the top and bottom stages and I think your advice about adding the top trim before stuffing will be helpful!
Excellent! Thank you so much Helen. I watched this entire demonstration & will watch again as I make my first drum. 👍 Well done!! 💕
Your tutorials are so stinking good. You explain all the steps so clearly. Thanks for taking the time to make them🥰
Just want to thank for demonstrating “how to make a drum”. I always learn so many tips watching you.

I really like how you used the interfacing as the guide for the width of the sides instead of putting the interfacing on the whole side piece like I was thinking. Great video! Thank you!!!
You can do it either way, but if the cotton fabric you chose for your sides is a forgiving design that way is a little easier to get it straight.
Thanks so much for your tutorials! They are so easy to understand and I always learn something new.
Amazing! You are so talented! Thank you so much for doing this for the flosstube community! Explicit instructions! Even I can do this! Kudos to you!!
