#MothersDay - Навчання та стиль
Yes, I would love a tutorial on the helping hands as well as the double oven mitt! Thanks for your video!
Thanks Cindy. Here's the helping hands video ua-cam.com/video/6wPdfzpoHw4/v-deo.html
Oven mitts will come soon🙂
Very nice. I am new to sewing but would love to make the cosmetic bag.
I made a Helping Hands Card Holder. It was a snap and so cute. You have inspired me at 71 yrs old to get back to sewing and hopfully sell to supplement my income. Thank you so so much.
That is awesome Jo Reyne! 😀
I'm making the Poop bags now too. I'm calling them DoDo bags. Lol. They are so cute. That turned into doggy jackets for summer and leaches. Oh and grocery bags too. Thank you again!!!
@@jorenecyphers6425 haha, that's awesome 😆
I cant thank you enough for your videos. I hope that you are getting ever green youtube material out of them and are earning some income off of them. I know I watch your videos multiple times. I multiple times esp if I sew along with you! Thank you again for your generous help. Your heart is so kind. Love you!!!!!
Wow, thank you so much Art. I have to rewatch some of mine too, especially when I make cheesecake😋😋
Thank you so much for the video. I've now made 2 helping hands, 1 for myself as I have rheumatoid arthritis and 1 for my mum who is 93.
That's wonderful Anne 😍
I think my grandchildren will also love the helping hands when playing go-fish. Their tiny hands keep dropping them, which makes us giggle but they’re lately getting frustrated.
These will be great for them Nana 🙂
I don’t sew but love watching what you can do with recycled products..brilliant ideas!
Thanks Maree 😀
I would like a video on the oven mitts. I've watched all your sewing videos. Those linen coverlets were very nice. Thanks, Christine.
Thanks Cynthia. I'm going to try to get these mitts done this week🤪
Oven mitts would be so fun!
I would LOVE a video about the reversible double oven mitts and any other items that you sew/sell. Your tutorials are always so easy to follow with so much valuable info in them. I’ve learned so much from you and appreciate you so much!
Thanks Suzanne. Oven mitt coming very soon 🙂
Q
That would be helpful!
Great ideas, as usual ❤️ I really appreciate that you give prices, too. It's one of the things I struggle with. That, and giving things away. I'm always so flattered when someone likes what I made, I just give it to them, lol. 😆
Haha, I think I'm lucky I started selling after I started my fabric store. It made the transition to selling my products much easier 😀
Yes a tutorial on the kitchen towel holders
Here's the tea towel video Rose 😀 ua-cam.com/video/_Lf96A9DVEg/v-deo.html
Hi Christine. I love your videos and I have learned so much from you. Thank you. You always ask us what we would like you to make in a video for us. Well, I would really appreciate a video tutorial on making slippers. You know, fuzzy inside with backs on them to hold them on and keep your heels warm? The "sandal" type would be good for summer also. TYIA😀
I've been seeing several people make slippers lately. Not sure I have the confidence for that task just yet Lila😁
Love the peg apron idea, I leave mine outside and they get brittle. I have never seen the 'Helping Hand', absolutely brilliant idea!😀😀🎉🖐️
Thanks Angela 🙂
Same here! Brilliant!
Loving your videos. I have trouble with the sound tho. Don't know if it's just me but I have to turn my speakers full blast to hear you. I think people who think your prices are too high don't realize who expensive fabric is in Australia. They might sound hi for US viewers but not for you. I was just given a ton of upholstery fabric and am going to make a bunch of shopping bags from it. My neighborhood will be having a holiday craft fair this fall and they should go over well. Thanks for the great tips on pricing. Keep them coming
Thanks Jeanne. Hope the craft fair is a roaring success. Sorry about the sound, I'm wondering if you're using a table/Ipad? They tend to have low sound sometimes. 😀
You are so amazing!! Your mentioning prices helps since it can be nerve wrecking some if we aren't fully confident how much people will pay and our worth. We meet so many cheapskates so it's challenging.
Thank you Morgann. Hope it's helped 😀
From the US here, and very much enjoying your videos! Especially grateful for you talking about pricing your goods, and not shorting yourself on asking too little for them. I personally know many makers who do this. Happy Easter/ Happy Spring to you!
Thanks Lara. I hope that more crafty people begin to value themselves more😊
Yes tutorial for your kitchen towel toppers
You got it!
Thank you. Very inspirational 🌻
Thank Ann😁
Christine, I recently found your channel and am impressed with your generosity in sharing your patterns, pricing etc.
I love the helping hands for cards. I may just make a set for my rental cabin guests to use.
I agree labels really make a product more professional.
I have not sold at a market, but in a couple years I will be retiring and there is a wonderful once a week market in the summer where I will be living in retirement. I can see that making items with fabrics that reflect the community, it is a small island, would make them appeal to visitors.
Thanks Michelle. I think it's a great idea having them in your rental. You could even have them in there with a price on it for people to purchase if they like 😀😁
That sounds wonderful. I wish you the best in your retirement and vendor market journey. There's some awesome vendor market groups on Facebook if you are looking for tips and help! Good luck!
Really enjoying your videos!!!! Thank you
Thank you Carol😁
I love how you put rescued fabric to such good use, like the linen throws. What a shame it would have been for all of those pieces to go into the landfill!
It sure would have been. They're quite fun to remake 😃
Please do a video on helping hands. I am a tutor and grandmother. I love to play card games with students and grandchildren. Thank you for sharing your expertise.
You're welcome Cheryl. This would be a great project to do with the Kids. Here's the link. 😀 ua-cam.com/video/6wPdfzpoHw4/v-deo.html
Helping hands, peg apron, tea rowel additions are all great ideas. Please give us tutorials.
Slainte!
Thank you Jeanette. Check out my "Sew to sell" playlist. Those videos are all there😁
Love the double oven mitts!
Thanks Deborah. Will have that video ready soon 😀
Thank you for recommending people charge a fair amount for their work, as a sewer I get fed up with customers thinking we shouldn't charge a rate that allows us to earn a living. Sewing is a skill and we should be paid accordingly. Great videos btw
Well said Debbie. I totally agree. Thank you 😀
I would love to see your video on the double oven mitt! Love your channel!
Coming right up Lyn 🙂
Me too!
I also love you videos!! I learn alot. Would live to see one on your double oven mitt!! From the US
Coming very soon Christine 🙂
It's so informative and helpful!
Just incredible items. Gorgeous.
Thanks Marcia 🙂
Yes! Please do an oven mitt tutorial.Thank You.
It's coming very soon 😀
Arrogance….I don’t think that is a correct descriptor for you to use. I LOVE how you place real, tangible value on the items you make. Because they do actually cost that much to make!!! It drives me crazy how friend and relatives under value the skill of sewing and mending, can you fix this , can you mend that, can you take up my pants,etc,etc,etc…well after watching ALL your shows, I put a stop to that…no more freebies. I still make gifts for people, but that’s my choosing, if they seek me out for something they gotta pay. I didn’t study and practice and learn machine maintained for nothing.
I love your frankness and ideas and your willingness to share. I have taken your items and have modified them to suit my style and am now going to try my hand at selling the items I make.
Thanks so much for your shows, you have a great channel. And can’t wait to come and visit your town for my Nagambie souvenir.
Thank you so much Michelle, and well done on taking a stand. 😁😁
Helping hands and the double oven mit!!! Especially the double oven mitt!
Here's the Helping Hand video, the double oven mit video should be available in about 10hours from now 😀 ua-cam.com/video/6wPdfzpoHw4/v-deo.html
Very good ideas.thanks.
Thanks Rose 😁
I would love the mitts also
I would love to see a video of the double oven mitt please - have started making your tea towels for friends and family here in the UK. Thank you for your clear instructions they are so easy to follow 😀
Coming very soon Ronnie 🙂
You're very welcome Elly 😁
Yes pls, video of double oven mits pretty pls
Coming right up Deborah 🙂
Thank you 😊
You're welcome Mary 😊
I love your ideas and how you explain things in your tutorials. I would definitely like to see a video about making the oven mitts. Something I've wanted to do for a long time, especially if they're reversible!
Until the next time, happy sewing.
Hugs, Diane 😘
It's coming very soon. Thanks Diane😊
Thank you! Great ideas! As always!
Thanks Karen 😀
😊 I’ve made scrunchies the way you taught and I’m now getting good at it! I think I’ll try the helping hands next. ☮️❤️😀
That's fabulous Maggie. Keep up the good work 😀
Wow! You do a awesome job with your sewing.
Thank you Fern 🌝
Nice👍👏😊
Thanks Mishra😁

Here's the link Alice 🙂
ua-cam.com/video/6wPdfzpoHw4/v-deo.html
Great ideas. I love how you give the prices. I never know what to charge. Mostly I make gifts to give out. Maybe someday I may start selling. I am kinda shy sew...we'll see.
Great videos. Thank you Christine.
Although you wouldn't know it, I'm still quite shy and lack confidence with my abilities. I constantly tell myself and my children to fake it until you believe it 😂😁 Thanks Barbara
It can be so tough to know. Always feel like I'm over or under!
Oooh yes please and Thank you for a video on the oven mitts!!
Coming right up Margo 😀
Yes I would love to a video of the double oven mittens. I love your channel.

Awesome
Thanks Arlene 🙂
Oh, the ideas 💡!

Awesome ideas! Right now I'm a beginner for sewing (but experienced in many art forms) and I make hair bows. They do well. I hope to expand soon. Thanks for this video, just subscribed!

Thank you just found your tutorial .
You're welcome Alice 😀
Hi Christine, I just came over from Chris' channel, I may be a fellow scrapping channel but I'm a woman who loves watching all sorts and am a fan of money saving, home creations and treasure hunting etc so I have joined you and look forward to future videos, just sorry I didn't realise to find you sooner!! 🙈
Hi Sollers, and welcome!!
Chris has mentioned you many times, it's a shame he wouldn't sing "going to the scrapyard" for you. Perhaps I should next time I go with him. Though I'd be terribly off-key🤣🤣
@@ChristinesHomeAffairs 😂 well I would love that if you did!!😄🎶☺
I love this card holder !! Its great idea ...I have dexterity and always strugle with little papers ...it will be great even for covid voucher handling on counter (some shops still have paper ones) or keep small receipts for return to do not loos them (I swomp in paper(accountabt job) hate when they get lost in my bag or need dig my purse(wallet). Love shopping bags ...steady and strong ... in UK all are polyester very badly made and ripping often.
Thanks Engie. Great idea for the coupons too😄
Thank you so much. Would love to see a video on your oven gloves that you showed.
Coming soon Ginette 😀
would love the double oven Mit video pls. love watching your video's
Coming soon Stewart 😀
I would love to see a tutorial on the helping hands too. Your work is beautiful.
Here you go Andrea 😀
ua-cam.com/video/6wPdfzpoHw4/v-deo.html
Would Love 💕 to see the “Helping Hands” tutorial. Thank you for sharing 😊
You got it Michelle. I put that video up the other day. Here's the link 😀 ua-cam.com/video/6wPdfzpoHw4/v-deo.html
I too would love to see how you make the reversible double oven mitts
It's coming very soon Debra 😀
And apron I know will sell good is a black double sided waiters apron. Because my mother was always busy making them all the time. One side had the full width if apron about 6" down from the waist and seemed 2 equal stretches too make 3 pockets in front and back sides then put on the waist tie wrapped back too the front too tie. And hair scrunchys and headband scrunchys sell good too.
That apron sounds like a great idea Betty. I do the scrunchies and headbands too. They're quick and easy 😀
Would love to see reversible d l oven mitt. I will be looking for tea towel tutorial. Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge!
You're welcome Karol. I'm working on the oven mitt tutorial today, but here's the tea towel to keep you occupied in the mean time 😀 ua-cam.com/video/_Lf96A9DVEg/v-deo.html
I would also like to see a video on the card holder.
Here's the link Joyce 😀 ua-cam.com/video/6wPdfzpoHw4/v-deo.html
Yes please, double oven mitt.
Here you go Phillipa 😀
ua-cam.com/video/r3RoKjTa4Ic/v-deo.html
Another great video Christine! What size zip do you recommend? Would love to see a reversible double oven mit tutorial!
Thanks Jenny. I like to use No.5 zips, but will also use regular dress zips. I think No.5 is 1/4" across teeth. Oven mits is in progress right now 😀
The market is glutted here w/people making similar items and for low low prices. Also with Walmart and the Dollar Tree stepping up their game on products, customers are holding out for mass produced items from China to get a bargain. It's a shame hardworking craftsmen/women really struggle to make a living w/art.
It certainly is a shame Terry.
It's my hope that people will have more confidence in their products and their value 🙂
The items are high quality but I wouldn't want anything like this for Mother's Day!
Thanks Jacky. I don't need these as gifts, I'm more than happy with a phone call from my boys 😀
🥰🦋🌈🦋🥰
The linen throws would make a nice wrap if they were narrower.
Thanks Pat. They're great little snuggle rugs for Summer😀
Thank you for the great ideas! What kind of market do you sell your products?
You're welcome Dena. I do social media, website, craft shows when I get time, and in my second hand store 😊
Love your videos. Where do you get your tea towels?
Thanks Kay. I usually purchase them in multi packs of 3 or 4 from large department stores. Each towel will give you two 😀
Where do you access your tea towels for a discounted price? Thanks.
Hi Christine . I was wondering if you’ve tested the selling of your foldable card holder yet? I really enjoyed the tutorial and you mentioned you were going to make a few and price them to sell.
I've only made the one so far Marie. I haven't had time for more yet. It's still waiting for a forever home though😀
Would like a tutorial on card holders
Thanks Sherry. I have two tutorials for those. One is machine sewn, and the other by hand. ua-cam.com/video/7v6OLpYgSUI/v-deo.html
What do your labels say please, Christine? I love watching your channel, and your partner's too! Would love to have a video on the bridle bags sometime too please. :) Am really enjoying your videos!v Maz from Peterborough SA
Thanks Maz.
Will get onto that video soon.

What display case are they helping hands sitting in. It displays to helping hands really really nice thank you.
Thanks Linda. The black stand I'm using is just the base of a jewelery stand with a slot in it that I thought would work 😊
@@ChristinesHomeAffairs thanks...i will be out scouting one of those or make one myself..that is such a nice and neat display that i am going to use at the market place starting may..thanks for sharing. It has helped me and your videos have made a difference in my life.
I'm interested in double oven mitts! It would come in handy for me . Video would be greatly appreciated please.
Coming very soon Frank 🙂
I love your items . can you please give me a link to get the labels you use . It makes your items look so proffessional. I am from usa and only sell incountry
Thank you Darlene. My labels are from wunderlabel.com.au 😄
Tea Towels, (how much do you sell those for?), Double reversing Oven Mitts, and Coin Purses. Interested in how to make. Thank you so much for all you do!
Theresa, the tea towels are sold for $15 each, and sell quite well. Keep in mind that is AU dollar though. Working on the oven mitt video today, and will do coin purse very soon. Thank you 😀
Hi there Christine, thank you so much for your videos, I thoroughly enjoy them. You have mentioned in one of them that your sewing sold better once you added a label. What kind of labels are they? Sew on, iron on? Glue on? And where do you buy yours from? Would really appreciate you sharing that if you don't mind.
Hi Juanita. I use sew-in labels from wunderlabel.com.au They've made all the difference in the world 😀
@@ChristinesHomeAffairs Thank you so much for sharing, I really appreciate it!!
Sorry to be a bother, but which labels work best in the way of application and washing etc? Do you get the iron on ones?
Have you made a tutorial on the playing card holders? I guess that’s a cd holder in it? Thanks.
Yes Diana. I've done two videos for the "Helping hands" card holders. (One by hand, one by machine) If the link isn't in the description box, you'll find it in the "sew to sell" playlist on my channel 😁
Would love to see how to make the card holders. Is there a video already?
Yep. You found it!!😁😁
I love your videos but I wonder about currency conversion. Would your prices be compatible in the US?
Jen, our prices would seem higher due to conversion rate. Take off about 25% by current rates😊
Pleas share how you make the double sided oven mitt. Please
Coming very soon Sally 🙂
I would love to learn how to make the helping hand
Here's the link Rosa 😀 ua-cam.com/video/6wPdfzpoHw4/v-deo.html
👏👏👏👏🍍
Thanks Anne 😀
Where do you access your tea towels? Thanks.
If you're in Australia Connie, I get them from Spotlight, Kmart, Woolworths. Whichever has the best specials. Discount shops have them too, but are sometimes too thin to make quality towels.
Do you have a tutorial for the helping hands? How much do you sell them for?
Sure do Lori. I sell them for $12 AU.
here's the link
ua-cam.com/video/6wPdfzpoHw4/v-deo.html
I am having trouble finding tea towels. Where do you get yours
Rhonda, I purchase mine from Kmart, Woolworth, Target, cheap shops etc🙂
Do you have a sling type bag? I’m going on a 12 day tour in Ireland and i need a great functional bag to carry.
Would a boho style bag work Peggy? 🤔
@@ChristinesHomeAffairs that could work.
When you state the price for the items you sell is that in US or AU ?
All my prices are in AU $. 😃
Hi what brand of serger do you use
Jeri, This one is an industrial "Jack" brand machine, but I have janome and Husky domestic overlockers as well😀
Thanks 😊 so much for your quick response, I really love ❤️ your videos and find them very helpful!!
Hallo, can you teach us how to sell? I can stitch, but I cannot sell... Just do not know how...
That's a great idea Polina. What things would you like to know?
Yes..i would like if yhere have a tutorial
Which tutorial would you like Siti? is it the oven mitts? If so, here it is 😀ua-cam.com/video/r3RoKjTa4Ic/v-deo.html
Where do you sell these?
julie, I sell these on my website, on social media, craft shows when I have time, and in my Second Hand store in Nagambie where I live🙂
