Hey guys! Based on my inability to use the new RU-vid upload tools another video posted early this week. This time I give up and I'm letting it stay live. Consider it an early gift to you :) Since this is technically Friday's video there will not be another video posting tomorrow. Thank you for understanding.

Great tutorial! I was gifted a sewing machine that belonged to my husband's great aunt and I wanted to make something simple and useful as my first project to gift her to show that I am learning and enjoying her gift, this fabric jar opener looks perfect for what! Thanks!

@rsislandcrafts 2 месяца назад

That is awesome! Happy Sewing!!

Gret tutorial! Glad you showed the difference in sewing with gripper next to the bed and next to the presser foot.

@rsislandcrafts 20 дней назад

Thanks! Glad it was helpful! I know when I watch videos or just sew on my own I like to know the differences and why someone might use one way over the other. Happy sewing!!

I just thought of something: I always have a placemat under my pup’s food and water bowls, but it slides as the pup is eating or drinking. I’m going to try making a placemat using the method you came up with for the jar openers. It should keep the mat from sliding! Thanks for the inspiration! 🤗

Novice sewist here! 🙋🏻 Made these for a house warming gift... Your tips did the trick! Thank you! 🙏 I got wild & added batting + hanging tag to them. 🤭

@rsislandcrafts Год назад

You’re a wild one 🤣🤣. A friend made me one with a fabric she knew I loved. She added the hanging tab and hang It from my fridge with a magnet. That way it’s always easy to find when I need It. They make great housewarming gifts. I have a few videos that make good housewarming gifts. 😉

@deannaneal5603 2 года назад

I love how specific you were with the details. Knowing the needle size, tension and stitch length are crucial! Especially the little handy trick about what direction to place the item, to sew without issues!! I also love how you didn't do too much fussing with the fabrics and using filler words to make your video longer. You actually provided important information instead!! This is great! Fantastic job! These are definitely a favorite in my book!

@OHlookSHINYthing 8 месяцев назад

I just made a couple of these last night, first time trying this. They work great and are a really fast project. I added a few quilting stitches to the middle of one as an experiment, to see if it keeps it from shifting whiIe using it...really didn't need it after all. I think I'll add magnets and hanging loops to future ones, like y'all suggested.

WELCOME! I have plenty of content for you to watch. A little info for you. Normally I post a WiP It Wednesday video on Wednesday’s where I show what I’m working on in the craft room and there’s usually some chitter chatter at the end. Friday’s are tutorial day normally. I had a little glitch this morning and today’s video went up early. I love to work with fabric scraps of all sizes and I try to show how to use them in your projects. I love video requests and do my best to get them made and out there for everyone. We’re getting close to hitting 20K subscribers so this is a great time to join us. There will be a fun giveaway once we hit that awesome milestone. Thanks for watching!

I’ve always struggled with opening jars etc. I have lost a lot of strength in my hands so it’s even more important to me now. A friend made me one and put a loop on one edge. I hang mine right on the front of the fridge. I get to see the pretty fabric she used and I never have to hunt It down.

Another great tutorial. Loved your fabrics and the clowns made me smile. Some great ideas from your viewers, to use them under pet bowls, coasters, with a loop for hanging, under your sewing machine etc. I attached some to my thread catcher as it kept sliding off the edge of the table; one of my better ideas :)

@rsislandcrafts 4 года назад

Yes, everyone has some great ideas including yours. Adding a bit to the bottom of a thread catcher is a great use of shelf liner.

Hi Robin! I have been right out straight busy getting ready for a craft fair, in amongst everything else and I was looking for a very quick and easy project. A good friend of mine mentioned this video about jar openers. I’m not sure how I missed this one, but I must have, because this is my first time seeing it. I love this and I now have a huge roll of shelf liner from Walmart beside me and my fabric is all cut in 6 inch squares and awayyyyyyyy I go. Thank you so very much!

@rsislandcrafts Год назад

Hi Marie. I’ve been following your craft fair progress. You’ve been very busy indeed. The jar openers have been a popular gift idea. I hope they do well at your craft fair.

@MariesScrappyCreations Год назад

@@rsislandcrafts Thank you Robin, that’s so sweet! Yeah, I certainly could have sewn a lot more than what I have, but some of the things took me longer than other things. I’m generally not a fast sewer, or at least I try not to be. But, if they’re really quick projects, then I can wing them out fairly fast.

@elizabethsawyer5906 4 года назад

Good tip Robin about sewing with the shelf liner down as I made one a while back and it wasn’t nice and flat like yours. Thank you💕

Thanks Robin, another easy project I have to try. Thanks to you, I am compiling a nice stash of ideas for stocking stuffers. I also like to give little take home gifts to everyone, when we have large family holiday parties. It would be nice to fill a basket with your projects (chapstick pouch, eyeglass case, jar opener etc.) and let everyone choose one. I love all your fabrics, where do you ever find them all???Have a great week! 🌻🌻🌻

@rsislandcrafts 4 года назад

Awesome! The basket of gifts is exactly what I keep suggesting. I think It would be so much fun for everyone to be able to pick out a little gift during a get together. The jar opener is a super easy and fast project to sew. There are several places online that you can buy novelty fabric. Some of these fabrics were donated to the channel so I can keep making fun tutorials.

@rsislandcrafts 4 года назад

I use mine all the time to open the maple syrup jar. Even though it’s already been opened the sticky syrup makes It hard to open every time. I bought extra no slip material for a future non slip pedal mat video 😉

@colettesmith8348 4 года назад

Hey Robin thought of an idea, could attach a loop and hang the jar opener up next to the pantry! I may give this a go cos I struggle with those lids and what better way than to have one hanging up right where you can see it and need it!

@rsislandcrafts 4 года назад

I thought about adding a hanger but decided against it because I keep forgetting to sew the loops in 😱. Then i have to unpick It or start all over. 🤣

@michelesalazar2045 4 года назад

You always have great ideas, thanks foe sharing, BUT where do you get the great FABRIC?

@tammyadams7965 4 года назад

Robin, I just had an idea. If you want to sew with just one layer of fabric, to keep it from sticking to the rubber under the feed dogs as its sewing put a piece of paper down first and use a tighter stitch and when your done you can tear off the paper like in foundation piecing. That way you don't need a teflon foot for your machine. Hope that helps

Very smart idea. Thanks!

@rsislandcrafts 4 года назад

Hi Jackie! I can make a video for your mason jar. I came across a couple of ideas while researching the coffee sleeve. I know some might say just use a coaster but that doesn’t solve the dripping condensation issue. Plus the coaster would need to be changed several times a day.

You can press the seam before you turn It or press It afterwards. Whichever way works best for you.

@thekatsmeow2693 4 месяца назад

How would you put the magnet on?

You could add a magnet between the layers. Then sew a square or circle around It to keep It in place. You could sew a hanging loop. A friend did that and then attached a magnet that had a chain attached. I hang It on my fridge.

@dorisosborne132 Год назад

What do you charge for your jar opener

@rsislandcrafts Год назад

I don’t currently have any jar openers in my shop. I don’t remember what I sold them for. I think I sold mine during a RU-vid live stream sale at a discount. Were you interested in purchasing some or just curious about the price? If you’re just wondering what price to sell them at then I suggest searching for jar openers on Etsy. That should give you an idea of a price range. If you sell them at a craft fair the pricing is usually different. Most people price their items a little lower at craft fairs because there isn’t all of the fees associated with selling online. I hope that help.
