I don't keep the pillows on my outdoor furniture when not in use because of the bugs and birds. Every morning I juggle my cushion, journal and cuppa to get outside for my 15 minute dose of Vitamin D and sunshine. This video comes at a perfect time because my cushions are a bit shabby and need a make over, so adding the pocket and handle will make my life so much easier. I think it will be fun for guests to take their pillows out with the handles as well. Oh! I can slip their table setup of napkin and silverware in the pocket for easy transport. Thank you, these pockets are getting more useful by the minute! My mom could use her pocket to keep her knitting. 💖🌞🌵😷

Great tutorial. Do you think this would work well with cotton flannel? It’s the fabric thats soft on one side not the full flannel? It has no stretch. I suppose so.

Hello beautiful mary

@patrickfarley8036 2 года назад

I notice you never prewash your fabrics, or if you do you don't ever say. I can see when quilting it's nice to have the material shrink a bit to get that puffy look but what about non quilting projects like this one? Is that because you are attaching some sort of fleece or interfacing to everything and that'll maintain it's shape and size? I'm kinda new to this and have heard some people swear by prewashing and others couldn't care less! I've asked others in the comments but have gotten only one reply who was pro prewash for every non quilted project. Citing, but not limited to, that the fusible adhesive may not stick well to fabric due to manufacturing chemicals and sizing. Your thoughts, please?

@ShabbyFabrics 2 года назад

Hi Patrick - We choose to not prewash our fabrics prior to completing a project. Some folks do prefer to prewash, it just comes down to a personal preference. We also think the fabric works a bit better for our projects while it's still a bit stiff (we also use light spray starch, like Magic Sizing). It's a choice that is completely up to you! Hope this helps with your decision. 💖 -Michelle
