    Quick and easy to make. Make for gifts or products to sell. Great for repurposing old cd's and dvd's.

    You are fantastic tutorial maker. Perfectly paced, explaining why AND why not to do things the way you do them. If I had these things I would definitely make them, for me it would be more expensive to make them than just buy a couple, but for people who have remnants, buttons, and upholstery thread this is a perfect "extra" gift or stocking stuffer.

    • @NotchesSewing
      @NotchesSewing  Рік тому +1

      You would be making it way more difficult as you would need to add a seam around the edges and still need an opening to insert it. This is the simplest way with clean edges and the gathered fabric holds the cards in nicely.

    • @NotchesSewing
      @NotchesSewing  Рік тому

      Did you pull on the bobbin threads and not the top threads? As you can see in the video, when there is no tension when sewing, the top threads should produce very loose loops allowing you to pull the bobbin threads very easily. What type of fabric are you using? Using running stitch by hand is gone too.
