Forgotten Friends Friday! - Creating with my Fabrics! 

Oh wow, I can hardly believe crafters complain about the sound of a sewing machine, I’m so sorry! ❤

Hi Gayle, this is great, I was wanting to learn to do this. I wonder if it would work with lace? Have you ever tried that? If the lace is a little stiffer, it might work maybe?

Good morning Gayle. Surely those that don’t like the noise could turn the volume down and use the subtitles. Personally I like the sound and watching the process. Thank you. ❤❤❤

New people? New people - heck, us "old" people need to see stuff again, I PROMISE you! Thank you for showing exactly how you sewed the ruffle also - it was really helpful. I'm all inspired now to dig into my fabrics and get out my sewing machine again. 😊😊😍😍

Thank you Gayle !! I don't say much but you are the first one I always listen to and watch everyday. ❤ I appreciate your hard work and dedication so much.

Good Morning Gayle! I will say it again, there are thousands of You Tube channels to watch. You just keep doing you and if others are bothered they can go watch another. Thank you for showing how you sew ruffles. I will try try your technique. My way has been quite disastrous lol. This really helped!!!! ❤️💕❤️

Happy Friday! I love the sound of a sewing machine at night, makes me think about hearing my Mom sewing our dresses while we slept and getting up to new dresses in the morning. Have a blessed day! Love you sis! ❤

Seriously?? Can't believe people use up precious time and energy to complain about such trivialities. Can't they just turn off their sound? Takes less time. I wouldn't bother worrying about what these few people say.

What a productive hour!! I love the sound of the sewing machine! Your ruffles are so even. I am going to try how you sew them. Hugs

That was so fun. I love watching you enjoy your fabrics. I hoarded fabrics long before I discovered paper crafting. 😃Thanks for showing how to ruffle. I like the flatness of your method. 😊

I'm watching this at 5:30 this morning as I just came from my studio where I spent several hours stitching fabric flips and a journal cover using bee fabrics, so obviously I was already thinking of you😊. Sending love and hugs, dear Gayle 🤗

I couldn’t complain about anything in your videos. Your are such a sweet person who teaches so many of us, and shares your talent so willingly. Thank you❤. You go with my morning coffee each day. ☕️ + Gayle = Happiness

Thank you for explaining the ruffle process. Gave me some confidence to retry.

Many years ago, I would get my husband up at 5 am to get ready for work! Then, about 6 am I would be making my baby girl's little dresses! I love the sound of a sewing machine! Brings back some happy memories!

Good morning, Gayle! I love to hear a sewing machine and need to get my machines out (4- regular, heavy duty, embroidery and overlock). I have a ton of fabrics but most of them are brocades and such for belly dance costumes. I put away my machines when I became unable to dance. I think some of my stash would work for book covers and fabric flips. Thank you for inspiring me to have fun with fabric again. Love ya!!

I absolutely love this Gayle! ❤You inspire me to get out my enormous stash and get these done. Bless you and let the “Debbie Downers” shed like water, off a ducks’💧🦆 back 👍❤😊you rock 👏👋🤗

I love all you do… love the sounds and all❤️❤️❤️people need to get over it!

Great tutorial, I was just trying to make ruffles, and this helped me so much. Thanks Kathy

I’m not much of a seamstress…so this was very helpful, thank you ❤️

I love the sound of the sewing machine Gayle. I wish I could have it on as I go to sleep. Wouldn’t that be so calming. Xxx❤

I absolutely love these. So glad you showed how to make them.

Ty for the ruffle tip, I also saw someone use a fork to fold the fabric over to keep fingers out of the way 💜

Oh Gayle. Just made my first ruffles. I'm so chuffed. Thank you for sharing.

Woohooo what a beautiful morning! Coffee & crafting with my sweet friend. What a way to start my day! Thank you. Hugs xoxo

Thanks for the video, Gayle. I really want to do some fabric ruffles. Maybe this time I will get in there and make some! 😅

Thank you Gayle for showing us how to make the ruffle. Such a pretty addition to a page.

Thank you so much for showing the sewing process with the sewing machine!

I love fabric! And the sewing machine sound!

I understand the zen you feel when you're making ruffles... I have 4 qt bags full 😂 They were all scraps from other projects and miscellaneous scrap bags that I have picked up. Many are very retro and I wonder what they will ever go in, but I look forward to finding out ❣️ People who don't like the sound of a sewing machine must not have had a Grandmother or Mother that made clothing or quilts. My mom made both, there were nine kids in my family. I am #8. So many of my scraps are a history of my family's clothing and I love seeing them. My mom was a material girl, she loved buying fat quarters, I have literally given away bags to a sister in-law that makes purses. I am still left with more than I will ever use, and I can't help myself...I still buy occasionally. The sewing machine is a productive and happy sound to me. I guess fabric flips are next. I might have enough ruffles. I can't wait for the clusters 😁 Many thanks Gayle, Hugs 🤗

I guess some people just feel the need to complain. Hope you have a great day. 🌻☕️❤️

Awesome inspiration Gayle, so many pretty fabrics, lots of love to you xxx

In the first 6 minutes of the video you answered both questions I had just as they came to mind. So brilliant tutorial.

Tfs, you really have some great fabrics and trims.

Your sewing machine barely makes a noise! Geesh.... What fun with all those fabrics & laces. You put together a lot of great flips! 🥰

You did a great job explaining how to make the ruffles. Now I just have to figure out how to thread my mom's machine. And really, complaining about the sound of a sewing machine on a craft video is akin to complaining about the sizzle of a frying pan on a cooking video. Sheesh.

Wonderful. I love fabric crafts

Thank you so much for this video. My grandmother had taught me how to do this many years ago but I had forgotten over the years. You are an excellent teacher. If we lived nearer to each other I feel we could be friends. I look forward to learning more from you. Be blessed.

Ahh makes me want to cut up all my clothes...!

Good morning Gayle. Very pretty. I have a big bundle of 5" squares I bought for $1 at the thrift store. I should really do something with them TFS. Hugs.

Thank you so much, Gayle, for answering my question. You are my journal guru.👩‍🏫

Very nice time seeing how you choose fabrics to put together. (And, how else can you demonstrate something using a sewing machine without a sewing machine sound?). Thanks for being so generous with your time.

My vintage Siger has a ruffled attachment, I’ve never used it. 😅😅😅

Good morning Gayle! 💕 You always manage to remind me of things I need to do! A quilting friend of a friend of a friend sent me a big zippy bag of quilting cut off strips. ‘Can you use these for anything?’ she says. I nearly snatched them out of her hand. 😊 I still have half of that zippy bag I’d forgotten that need to be ruffled up. 😆 I do office work for a contractor. Compared to hammering, clanging and banging I hear at work, a sewing machine sewing is a welcome comfort. 😂 Enjoyed the visit my dear. 👍 Have a great Friday! 💕

Beautiful! You got so many done! Take care❤

Good morning Gayle!! Wow! That’s a lot of fabric flips you got done and they look fabulous! TFS! 💖💕Hugs!!

Good Morning Gayle. Another wonderful video. I like the sound of the sewing machine, reminds me of my mother sewing our clothes. 💖💖

Happy Friday, that’s a big stack of fabrIc flips! Your fabrics are beautiful. 💕

Thanks Gayle, you have inspired me.

Good morning Gayle, have a happy Friday ❤✂️♥️

Lovely as usual. I enjoyed the fabric refresher. Where do you ever find your beautiful laces?

Gayle, Thank you so much for showing how to make ruffles. I haven’t been brave enough to try. Now I will. As for the complainers, they can fast fwd or mute the noise. Please don’t let others dictate how you do YOUR RU-vid videos. I would never complain when someone is giving me free advice and instruction. I Love everything you do , be yourself! Jean

Love this video!!

Good morning Gale, all your fabric flips are so pretty, but I have to say my favorites were the Kathy Holden ones with the daisy trim. Daisies always remind me of my grandmother, it was her favorite flower. A great memory so early in the morning.

This reminds me that I have a ruffle foot. I need to bring that out and give it a try! Love the hum of the sewing machine 😊

Wonderful tutorial today!

Good morning Gayle. I, too, am a quilter. Tearing fabric is what I prefer. I does make the fabric “straight” but that’s straight of grain. I learned that when I was making garments. For a quilter, we/they insist that using a ruler makes the fabric straight. Tomato tomotto. I love making fab flips! Can’t wait for scrappy Saturday!! 😊😊❤

Oh, Gayle, what a wonderful video! So inspiring! I finally got my sewing machine fixed and now I can play with my fabrics too! Also I am putting together the things to send you. It's very expensive to ship things to other countries (I'm in Brazil) but now it's happening!😍💖

Good morning , Gayle. Am watching your forgotten Friday working with fabric. I'm am really enjoying your ideas. Giving me lots of inspiration today and I want you say thank you.have a wonderful weekend

You got so many made Gayle, and each one is lovely. I tend to make fabric flips as I need them, but since I don't have my sewing machine set up permanently I really should batch make. I'm going to be channelling some Gayle fabric inspo real soon. 😄 Belinda xxx

Happy Friday Gayle! I love your ruffle fabrics. Hugs Lina.

Gorgeous fabric flips and lots of them - great job!

I love making fabric flips. They add so much to a journal.

The little thin strips I cut off with my pinking shears, I use in my journals like rickrack!

As an old quilter I really enjoyed this video. Something about this time of year that makes me want to work with fabric again....and believe me, I have PLENTY to work with!....so why do I buy more? I guess that is the crafter's eternal question!

Happy Friday Gayle! This tutorial was great for both novices and long time seamstresses as myself. Everyone has their own little tricks which I find valuable. BTW I find the sewing machine sound very soothing whomever doesn’t like it can always use the volume button on their device. No offense to those. We still need and want to see how you create things. Hugz & luv! 💖

I am a seamstress and LOVE watching you have a play with your fabrics Gayle! If it were up to me, every journal would be made entirely of fabric!!! As far as I’m concerned, the sound of a sewing machine stitching away is music to my ears! Lovely fabric flips!❤

I think the bears have hit the snooze button. Here in Georgia we have sprummer right now…spring in the morning (40’s and 50’s) then summer by noon (70’s to 80’s). Sweats and layers to start off the day, shorts and tee by 1:00.

Finally finally finally ordered a sewing machine today, YAY! So very soon I'll be making these right along with you! 😍❤

The fabric flips are so beautiful. There is always going to be someone complaining about something. I love the sound of a sewing machine. I was sewing since I was 5. I feel if a person doesn't like something just don't watch it. Anyway have a blessed day.

Awesome job with ruffles. So glad I watched b/c I would have done it the old fashioned way with pulling the thread to gather them!! Nice flips! You got a lot of scraps used up today. TFS

I wish I could have time to craft with you face to face, craft to craft. I watch every day!!! Thank you, ❤sweet lady!

Thanks for the ruffle instructions. I am also a quilter so I love the sound of a sewing machine. Keep ripping fabric as it is such a satisfying sound. I will be doing time in my sewing room making ruffles and fabric flips. ❤❤❤

I make my ruffles the same way, but I use the paddle/scraper tool that came with my Cricut to push the fabric under the needle so I don't have to stop so much. If someone doesn't like the sound of your sewing machine they don't have to watch. Really, some just have to have something to complain about. You do what you want, it's your channel.

I LOVE the sound of the sewing machine! It takes me back to my childhood when I played while my mom sewed. Fond memories and a beautiful sound!

Loved every minute of fabric play today! 🥰 I love the hum of a sewing machine. These will be great in your journals. Have a blessed day!

I enjoy watching your videos. I always learn from you.

Pretty fabric flips. Isn’t it fun to play with fabric and feel all the textures. I love it. 😊❤️

Gail, you had me dying when you said, you gotta keep your friends so that you can get their scraps….that was funny. ….and by the way I love hearing the sound of a sewing machine……

I adore the ripping sound, of fabric. As I've said before I adore the sound of the sewing machine it's like sitting listening to my grandmother. Thanks for the tip on keeping the ruffles flatter. Genius!! ❤🐞

I have been wanting to know how those pleated ruffles were made. Had no idea it would be so simple. This is going to help me. Thanks. I wish you would not worry about the sound of the sewing machine, it is music to my ears!

When you mentioned that your quilter friends are amazed that your tear fabric instead of cut it, I was reminded of how my cat hears the sound of tearing fabric and comes running, thinking it is play time! If I am making fabric strips for any reason, he thinks the strips are meant for his enjoyment and sometimes grabs them out of my hands! Funny but annoying.

They are great & I tried to do them with the branding strips & they worked out awesome so give it a try I’m sure you will like it ❤

I love the sound of the sewing machine. I could listen to you sew all afternoon. It reminds me of being at my grandma's and my mum sewing on her dining room table. It brings me comfort. Some people need to find a better hobby than going on people's you tube comments and complaining. It's rude.

Good morning Gayle! Have a wonderful weekend!

❤

Hi Gayle. These are so lovely, and you got so many done. Thanks for sharing. See you soon. 😊

Happy Friday gayle 😊😍😘

I love it when you play with your fabrics, and when you show us what you are sewing 😊

My gram is a quilter and I finally asked about scraps and now she sends some (a lot actually because she's been decluttering her sewing room) home with me when I visit. I hope you have a delightful day. Love&hugs

Happy Friday to the 4th power [fabric forgotten friends Friday] !❤! Beautiful❤! Have a great weekend Gayle!

Good morning Gayle!! Beautiful fabrics you have in your stash!! 🥰 Isn't it fun playing with fabric and getting strings everywhere? There like magnets to our clothes!! 😂 Love the flips you made and I might have the courage to try a ruffle. Have an awesome Friday...💜

Hi Sweet Gayle!! Hope you’re having a great day. I had you on while I was working on my latest journal today and could not believe how easy it is to make fabric ruffles!! I can not thank you enough for showing us how to make them. (I have been purchasing them) I didn’t realize it was so quick and easy. I just sewed yards of beautiful ruffles for my upcoming journals. Thank you so much!!!!!!❤

Happy Friday Gayle! I stamped on muslin strips and I think I’m going to make ruffles, also I used rub on’s from dollar tree and put them a muslin too, came out nice. I used coffee dyed and non coffee dyed material. I took foil paper, crumbled it up and opened back up and used oxides and sprayed with water and got texture on my tags. Have a wonderful Friday and weekend too. 👍🌸🌸🌸

Fabric, mmmmm, love it.

Do you have a formula for your fabric flips? Example: odd numbers of fabric, sizes you follow, etc.

Good morning Gayle💕 Awesome fabric play and thank for the tip about the size of the ruffle, I have so many fabrics and if I decide to make these now I know the preferred size. Ty💗 I hope the weather is okay there, just saw our friend Eve post a photo of a lot of snow. We are getting a Ice Storm right now after having a few days of warm weather. All the snow was gone! 😩 Have a fabulous day, hugs! 🤗

Good Morning Gayle ❤️ You gave me so much inspiration to get my material out today!!! Hugs

Look at that wonderful pile of goodness! Bless you! Love you

Hi sweet Gayle!!! Love the ruffle idea!

Fabulous Fabric Flips on Forgotten Friends Friday!! Thank you, also, for the Ruffle Refresher!! ❤🤗
