Wow!I have just done mine not finished yet,smaller than urs,but thank u for sharing..with electricity challenge, this is a SOLUTION.
Thank you for your video. I made mine this morning. I'm from Cape town. I used old curtains🤪. The stuffing... I started cutting up the scrap fabric then switched to broken towels. Eventually I found an old tattered duvet... My hands are so sore. But it was worth it. Thank you thank you thank you.
i know right! your hands really do get sore!! thankyou so much! this really made my day!
My akni cooked in less than 2hours and the flavour is amazing. I use to throw a towel over my pot in the past... But the flavor has never been this intence. I'm making beef curry tomorrow to go with tonight's leftovers. I just had supper😁
I just want to say again how wonderful and straightforward this tutorial is!
You're so wonderful and unique, like from another place in time. What a gift you are.
I love your beautiful creation.
God bless and keep you, all the days of your life.

This is going to be very helpful in the energy crisis⭐️
Thank you so much for that!! I have been using some form of Wonderbag for about 35 years and always tell my friends about it - I a friend who really wants one, but they are too expensive to buy, so now I know what to make for her birthday!!!!
im so glad it was helpful! :)
Gas is now almost unaffordable so a wonderbag is now a big necessity.
Loved your video. A big thank you from Portugal
Thankyou so much!
I love how the kitty's just making itself comfortable. Anywhere, anyhow, no matter what's happening. 😸😻
They are the priority where ever they go.
Really good video I a! Definitely going to try this at some point
One minute I find out what a wonder bag, that such a thing exists. Now I've been taught how to make one. Wow! So ideally simple.
:) :)
I live it that kitty makes himself at home upon you as you stuff the sides! Thanks for a great tutorial and entertaining dialogue!
C'est super beau en plus d'être utile. Mention spéciale au chat, trop sympa. 💚💚💚💚💚💚
Beautiful and also enjoyed your sweet furry friend greatly 😁💛
Thank you! I just learned of these and I can't wait to make mine.
Thank you for the tutorial, hoping to make one soon as I have the fabric.
Have fun!
Just a great video, really inspiring! (especially the cat!) Thank you!
This is great, thank you 😍.
Would you be able to tell us what the maximum size of casserole this would cover, please?
Just wondering if I’d need to change the dimensions for my round Le Creuset lidded casserole pot.
This tutorial is great. Good length, just the right amount of info. Thanks!
love the cat and cat antics
I love your assistant. I have 3 of those that have discussions on who gets to assist or not. Thank you for your video. I have been given a lot of fabric and will be using it to make these with.
Just found you...love your sewing....
Your kitty wanted your attention...lol !!!
From USA.....
💖😉😁😀🤪👍
Thank you! 😊
I'm using an old feather (down) duvet. Here in south central Texas, USA, it's usually way too hot to sleep under a feather 'decker', except if you have the air conditioner on high!
Honey cute cat I love it and thank you for your help I’m looking to do something like this and you teach me lovely girl ❤
Very cool video!
Absolutely stunning! Well done. I love the mix and match of fabrics. Thank You for sharing. Very inspirational
thankyou so much! :)
Love the video. Great idea to cut up old scraps or clothing to fill it
Thankyou!
Thank-you so much. I'm definitely going to make something very similar and upload my take on it to my channel... I'm so excited. Xx
Wow! Good luck!!
I love this idea, i never heard about it. And I love this way of thinking. Waiting to live alone only to fill my life with beautiful things and lifestyle like that (with my family is quite complicated and I live in Italy, here be different is not simple)
A wonderful video. Very informative on how to make the wonder bag by a charming young woman. It has inspired me to make one I have always wanted…I don’t think I will up Chop upALL the scraps to fill it….I will cheat and use pillow stuffing!
Haha! Good call
Hi Tiva, happy New Year to you and your cat.
Thank you for your wonderful Video!
What a lovely thoughtful gift. Beautiful
You are so kind!
This is the best cat bed your cat has ever seen! I've seen something similar sold at tea rooms to put around your tea pot to keep it warm - they called them "cozies".
You are right, they are very similar!
You are brilliant and joyful and make this soooo do-able! Thank you so much. And to star kitty I am inspired that if it sucks at cooking my cat will be overjoyed :)
I love the way you combine the fabrics
Thankyou!!
I love your cat trying to get into it and helping stuff it. Lol. Pet me pet me. I love your skirt too. Thanks for showing me how to do it. I have a friend who wants me to make a couple. ❤️
Any time!
thank u so much for the instructions now it looks easy
:)
Great idea and I’m sure we all could use one in our Prepper closet…..love the idea of scrap material since I have plenty of old bathrobes I got for making blankets but this would be a better use…..I hate those styrofoam popcorns …static clingers….it’s certainly safer to use then a crock pot that could go bad on you while you’re away from home……also we camp so I’d use it to cook in the camper while we go site seeing and not worry of a fire…….
I never thought to use it for camping!!! I'm so glad this video helped you!!
Great video! I was thinking about buying some new fabric to do this, but now I'm going to use the old pieces of fabric I have ☺️ Thank u!
great!! i'm so glad!
Absolutely beautiful. Yes, the patchwork version takes more time and effort but I'm sure it's a labour of love. I have so much scrap fabric and I'm going the patchwork route. Thank you for an informative video; your personality is the cherry on top!
thankyou!
Thank you for sharing this. I am going to make one.
i'm so glad it was helpful!
Lovely video. I so miss my cat (passed on @ 24 years old). So glad to see it doesn't need styrofoam. One tip I heard from one woman is that she uses hers as a throw pillow when not in use. I'm going to keep that in mind when I pick out colours. Your Mom is lucky!
Oh wow! That's a brilliant idea!!
Very good! I made one several years ago and stuffed it with some wool fiber that I was not going to be spinning into yarn. It works very well.
Awesome! i actually did the same, because i ran out of fabric scraps! :)
This was going to be my question, as I have more fleece and fibre than I could ever spin in my lifetime! Will definitely give this a go, thanks
Fantastic I have tons of scraps and tons of fleece 😊
This is absolutely marvellous. Thank you for such a brilliantly entertaining video.
Glad you enjoyed it!
You are such a pleasure to watch. Thanks for sharing
Fantastic video, the best I found. You totally inspired me to try patchwork for the first time and the happy memories of past makes flooded the last 2 days and now I have a beautiful wonderbag! 💚 Thank you.
Wonderful!
Wonderful video thanks, love how much your cat loves it too. I’ll see if mine does when I get around to making one and love the patchwork too.
Thankyou! That would be really cool, if your cat likes it😂
Thank you so much!!! This will save me so much money 😊
your such a cute best teacher thank you so very much
Excellent! Thank you
Thank you for such a entertaining video & instructions so easy to follow. Love your enthusiasm 💕🙏
I enjoyed this very much! You explain everything very well. We have a huge bag of down feathers that is over 60 years old and I want to make some wonderbags to use it up, but i didn't know how to make one and now I do!
that sounds fantastic! down will be lovely!
I am absolutely certain your mother is definitely quite fond of her birthday gift. She absolutely is. :-) And I am quite certain your kitty loves you so so much - he was the star of this video for sure!
Thanks for showing us how to do this. It looked like it took you a few hours to make this and I think this project would take me a few months - I am not a sewer! hahaha
Thanks very much for this video - it's quite do-able, actually!
Aw Thankyou!! It took me over two weeks to make 🤣😅
Excellent video. Love it.
Thankyou 💐💐
AWESOME. Thanks.
Dziękuję za filmik ❤
beautifully done x
My cats enjoy the comfort
Fabulous, thank you for sharing. Does it wash and dry OK?
I haven’t tried, but as long as there are no spills it shouldn’t need washing
Loved your video and the patchwork looks amazing. Thank you!
Thankyou!!
Thank you so much for this. I just heard about wonderbags today but they don't deliver to my country. Super appreciated!
Glad I could help!
Comes to cost of power this item is very useful thank you
Looks amazing 🤩 I am going to try it
Please do! :)
Wonderful tutorial. Can cotton batting or wool be used for the stuffing? I do lots of DIY fabric projects and all the scraps go to the local shelter for the kitties as toys, bows or decorative collars.
Yes, absolutely! :)
Lucky mum !!
:)
Thank you soooooo much for sharing... I am going to make one...
Good luck!
Tiva! This was such a good video!!!! 🎉🎉🎉 It really is the perfect diy zero waste project. You made it beautifully!👏👏
Thankyou so much!!! :)
Thank you fab tutorial
Add plants 😂xx
Thank you for this! A useful and fun video 🙂 please would you let us know what size cooking pot fits in the bag? Thanks again
Hi, however large you make the inside circle, changes the size of the pot able to fit in it. this size will fit about any size of pot. :) Hope this helps!
Thank you so much for this video. I wanted to make this for a long time but I couldn't find styrofoam beads in Nigeria. I can easily get scrap fabrics. I am going to make this.
Glad I could help!
love it Tiva
Thanks amy!
I love how you used scrap fabric as filler, I never know what to do with all my scraps.
i know, me neither! i always feel so guilty throwing them away! i'm so glad there is a way of using them:)
Thanks a million, if I don't try it myself I will ask someone to to make it for me.
Hermoso!! Me suscribo ,es la única wonder bag que me ha gustado por la combinación de telas .
Great video and you're adorable!
Wow, thank you
Question: How big of a pot will this fit? I'm thinking a medium dutch oven would fit easily. Yes?
It fits quite big pots, yes it would definitely fit!
I have received some frozen food which was packed in an insulated bag. The insulation is 100% wool in thick sheets which apparently is compostable, but I was hoping I could incorporate it into something like this instead
Es el video en el que mejor entendí como hacerlo... Gracias!
I'm so glad! Thankyou 😊
Very nice, 👍
Thans you so much. Like the cutie vat❤️
hi! I have a cuestion, is this wonderbag really usfull? couse the usual wonderbags have a especial fabric that keeps the warm inside. very usfull video anyway! thankyou!
Hi, yes it is! It's very insulating, works just as well as one you buy from the shops😊💐
I used old material to i am from durban finish beautiful
I like it
Hi, I've only recently come across these fabulous looking Wonderbags!! My only question is about the type of fabric you use! Is there any difference between using 100% cotton or using polyester fabric? I have tons of cotton fabric, but never buy polyester because of the plastic involved!! I'd be grateful for your thoughts or guidance :0)
I wouldn't use polyester because it is plastic. 100% cotton is the way to go.

Thank you very much, that’s great - I’ll be having a go! 👍
Great!
Thankyou!
Merci beaucoup pour ce diy il est super bonne continuation Ⓜ️👍
I've been thinking what to fill my soon-to-be-born Wonderbag with... I am not a fan of non-biodegradable things you need to buy (like those tiny white balls commonly used for bean bags...) so I loved your idea of using scrap fabrics! However, I would have a hard time finding enough of it... Any other ideas on what I could fill my wonderbag with?
I have a lot of egg crates. I've been saving them for ages because I didn't know what to do with them but now I'm thinking of cutting them in to tiny pieces, I'm sure they'd be good for insulation.
funny how you mentioned the "water bottle", cause i was just thinking of doing this: make hot water in a solar box cooker, put the water in a japanese water metal bottle, which you can then put in the wonderbag... Might be perfect for the ones who have less recources for keeping themselves warm.. also for homeless people or while camping
great idea!
@@tivagreen655 thank you for the inspiration!
Love Koranna the cat in this one. Thank you again for my bag of wonder birthday present !
Your welcome mother dear!
Hello could I use an old modern quilt to achieve the same results?
it would not be quite as insulating but it would work!
What material to use for stuffing, please.
You made this look simple enough I believe I will try it. I am horribly not a 'sewing' person.
May I ask how the fabric stuffing is holding up?
And I cannot imagine how to wash it should one need to...any comments there from anyone? Jesus bless.
i can do it! its holded up really well! however i might suggest adding another layer to the inside, where the pot it put, that area gets dirty, so you could remove and wash the inner. :)
@@tivagreen655 Ah!! Why of course. Just put a towel or such in before setting in the pot and voila! Easy to toss in the washing machine. Thanks for replying and have another great day. PS Love your kitty cat. Jesus bless.
Wonderful video! This will be very easy for me to make. Can you use Cotton batting or stuffing as the padding? Or how about wool? I do a lot of DIY projects with fabric and and the scraps I do have I use for kitty toys for the local animal rescue groups, so I never have scraps but I do have yards of fabric I can make these with. Just trying to figure out other fillers so any suggestions would be appreciated. The idea is the density in the padding, correct?
Can i use any other types of stuffing?
Yup! as long as it is still insulating
Me suscribo solo por el gato, excelente video hare que me fabriquen uno y usen este video de referencia para que lo puedan hacer, excelente
haha! she really is the star of the show! Thankyou so much :)
Merci ! Quel diamètre pour le cercle au départ s'il vous plaît ?
Just want to double check that the radius is 51cm. So the diameter is 102cm?
Yup!
How long does it take to make it?
It depends what stuffing you use, and if you decide to do patchwork or not. It also depends if you have ever sewn. But if you worked hard and didn't do patchwork you could make it in a day. :) hope this helped!
I imagine it would be much more difficult without a cat. ;)
oh absolutely! :)
Oh and Krana is really quite the kitty model!💛💛💛
I know right???????
رائعة وبسيطة
شكرًا لك
Silliest thing I have sen in years. It's a comedy - right?
No. These are real things and great for using less fuel to cook your food.
PS- I may use the leftovers for a cat bed.
