      Suggestion: instead of making the cap into a bag, take a foldable shopping bag and sew it into the back of the head. It won't look bulky and you won't have to reinvent the wheel.

In those cases, work both harder and smarter, like, for instance, the person who composed the text for this poster, who did work hard, but also worked smart, which is why this slogan takes so long for you to read, and why your supervisor, upon finding you working harder because you're NOT working smarter, can't just quickly orate a brief slogan but must come back here into the break-room, possibly with you in tow (it'll depend on the circumstances), to consult what this poster actually says, including the part explaining why this poster must be consulted each time rather than being memorized as something succinct but also cheap, shallow, frivolous, and as trite as 'at the end of the day, the bottom line, is what it is'". I think we can ALL agree that that poster has a LOT of words. I've never heard ANYONE say it didn't.

    Nice job, nice hat-bag, and nice tip about the corn starch+water solution.
    Another few sewing tips: Get that no sew, heat bonded, polyamide strips. Bond to one fabric first, remove paper, then bond to the other fabric. Unlike tape, it is safe to sew through and doesn't leave any residue on your needle and thread. It will temporarily stick to even silnylon and silpoly enough that you can handle it and sew it without it coming apart. I like this method better than pins and clips, though, it works less on curves. If doing curves, I do small sections spaced apart, sort of like using pins or clips. The nice thing about it besides not having to remove it like pins and clips, is that it keeps the fabrics more flat than using especially pins, so less distortion tends to happen when you sew.
    Use an iron with water/steam to fold over edges/hems and get them to stay much better. I sometimes pre wet the fabric first, and then iron it.
    This tip only applies to synthetic fabrics: Use a hot knife; many times when melting more than one layer of fabric together, they will stick together at the edges, so when you go to sew it, only separate it where you need to. Meanwhile, since you also melted the edges, you don't necessarily need to hem it, unless you need the hem for extra strength. Point is that the individual threads are much less likely to unravel. This is especially so if you do a zig zag, or preferably an overlock stitch, if you have it as an option, on the edge. But yeah, hems are helpful for adding extra strength and durability, so for some applications you don't want to forego it, unless you're going to add multiple rows of stitches (if the fabric is sturdy/strong enough, you can do this).
    If sewing really thin/light and/or slippery fabrics, put tissue paper underneath the fabric, it helps the feed-dogs get a better grip, and I don't know about you, but when I don't feed my feed-dogs right, they tend to (make me) lose grip on everything from sanity/reality, calmness, and not just the fabrics...
    Regularly clean out under the inside of the plate (where the bottom bobbin is put) and while doing that, occasionally re-oil with a drop or two of appropriate oil if you have the option.
    One last and quick tip, and just the tip. You can actually sew lighter to medium weight fiberglass cloth (like 2 to 6 oz/yd2)... _if_ you first siliconize it (silicone caulk thinned with solvent like naphtha and then applied to the fabric with either a brush or soaked in a bag/bucket). Lot's of potential uses for siliconized fiberglass cloth. Sew to the outside of regular fabrics (especially sturdy hemp, flax linen, polyester, and/or nylon) and make cut and fire resistant clothes. Increase the water resistance of clothes while keeping breathability (if you thin the silicone enough and apply it more lightly), dramatically increase strength and durability of other fabrics/garments. Note: It will wear down your needles faster though.

    That would be excellent to wear for a sudden foraging opportunity, like when you unexpectedly find mushrooms that you have to have as soon as you find them. The mesh would allow the spores of the mushrooms to freely flow out.
    Maybe the little piece in the middle should be the missing white puzzle piece.

    3:59 - Maybe I haven't been following all of this channel's videos as carefully as I should have, but I missed the one where Simone recruited a cat (named "Futz"?) onto the creative team. I'd like to know more about Futz's origins, education, and previous gigs, and what new skills and aptitudes Futz is expected to bring to the Giertz family operation. I DO already know that many felines have a gift for losing pieces of jigsaw-puzzles. I look forward to the videos where Simone puts an acorn-sized part down, then looks for it later to no avail, gives up after 90 minutes, goes to the kitchen for a cold beverage, and finds Futz batting around the lost part as if it were a mouse.

    Great idea! I finally trained myself to bring reusable bags into the store, by not allowing myself to get plastic bags if I forgot.

    You want wow factor? The head band of the hat is a metal coil under tension - think pop-tent - they’re held secure until you pull on the brim, separating it and the Velcro-connected pieces of the hat which will become the handles. Structural integrity from the metal frame means you could use a thin silk mesh for the bag itself.
