[@carrierobbins100]

Great idea, I didn’t realise I needed these until I saw this video! I shall enjoy making and using these

I could do with using one of these. I hope it will help my sewing to look more professional. I love the tip about using sawdust

[@asewinglife]

Yes, the sawdust is a game changer

[@sueburton6920]

Where did you get the sawdust from please and roughly how much needed

[@asewinglife]

I actually got it from an old Tailors ham that I took apart

[@Zayaxa]

You can get sawdust from pet stores as they sell it as rodent bedding.

[@JamesSmith-od7po]

The stuff from the shops is wood shavings not sawdust

[@michelleholden2888]

Can I use fabric scraps to stuff the hams if they are chopped up small?

[@asewinglife]

Yes, you can but it’s better with the sawdust as that draws the moisture away from the heat of the iron.

@@asewinglife thank you ☺️. I didn’t think of that 🤔

[@jennifermary2350]

Could I use soft sand?

[@asewinglife]

I’ve never used that so I’m not sure but it would give the same ability to mould the ham to the curved seam shape
