February 2 2024 Maryland USA: Great point with making ten of something especially when do makes forr giving away. I like to make things and later find just the perfect person to give them too. You are such an incredible giving lady and teaching each of us to do the same. With bits and bobs what a smile you would bring on someone’s face.
i want one... may two... maybe all of them!!! Ok slightly kidding, these are the cutest thing ever!!!!! I will go check the shop, but I think it is 3 yrs later and I will make my own. LOVE THEM AND LOVE YOU!
Oh gosh I love this. I have a sister named Norma. I’m definitely making these for Christmas gifts. I collect sea glass and can just imagine how delighted the folks will be to get one of these.
On Feb. 21, 2021 I'd say the word you are looking for, re your fabric boxes, is "rustic" which is a popular choice or the trending choice these days although "scrappy" is a very good word. Dividing one of the box sides & adding in beads & sequins behind the netting is excellent !!!
My fathers favourite word for anything that was slightly less than perfect was "Rustic". We had a rustic patio, rustic wallpapering, rustic tree pruning, in my childhood home, and usually the 'rustic' bit was where I helped. My father very much encouraged learning through doing, and he always praised use whatever the result was, and then asked the questions, "what did you find hardest bit to do? How could we make it easier to do?" I loved taking things to bits to find out how they worked. He encouraged that too :D
@@thelasthomelyhouse Indeed. He raised 4 children on his own. He was a very good dad. My sister, 2 brothers and I were very lucky to have been born his children. :)
HI Kate! Just made my first fabric box from your pattern--I love it! Made it with some printed canvas and gingham I already had in my stash, and just for fun I weighted it with craft sand and added four glittery pony beads at the bottom corners for feet. Thank you so much for sharing this versatile pattern!
Love this video. I will have to try to make some boxes. Years ago I bought lots of jeans from yard sales and sewed the pockets on a huge piece of fabric and embellished them all. I had a terrible sewing machine then, so I glued the pockets on. Thinking of cutting them out individually to put in art quilts now. I love making things in batches. Years ago I made cinnamon Santa pins and had my little assembly line!
I’m late to the party! Thank you for this video, these are FABULOUS!!!!! I so, so appreciate your manner of tutoring, like a friend sharing with a friend, not as if I’m in school and will be marked on my project! You are so inspiring! I thank you. p.s., I might even try these with various papers!
Oh my gosh we make similar boxes out of white canvas which I then hand paint herbs, wild flowers etc. on using acrylic paints. Nice to visit friends and see they use them for pebbles, shells, buttons and other wee items.
Beth Grant-DeRoos I have one for my dishwasher tablets (!) three in the bathroom with various things, one full of paper scraps for list making and notes, and yet more for other mundane uses. So good to have a pretty thing for such uses! They are so easy, I hope others have a go! ❤️😊
Hello Kate , I love your videos. Last year I watched your video of making a denim box with embellishments round the side. Just found it again so when I've finished my Christmas tree ornaments for Christmas 2022 . (Decided to be ahead of myself🤪) Also enjoying learning about scrappy stitching
I love the net pockets with beads and sequins. When you held the first one up, it looked like the bib of overalls. I think that would be a cute idea for kids’ overalls, but of course they would need to be hand washed with care.
Locally we have a shop run by the senior center called The Legacy. It is filled to the brim with cast off craft and sewing notions...it is a truly magical and wondrous place. I wish I could transport you there for a day!
Candace Nagle do you know Candace, I think it might be best if you don’t! 😂 it sounds like the sort of place I could do some serious harm to my bank balance! OR! I could donate half of my excess to them! 😂❤️😊 I used to have a workshop away from home, about 4 miles, and when I left there my home looked like one of those tv shows about Extreme Hoarders. ! 😳 ! It took me years to shed most of it! 🙄❤️😊
I am such a late comer to your channel Kate. I love all of them....especially your fantastic makes and cat Norma. Thanks to you Kate, I will be using so many bits and pieces I have been collecting for years.
Dwayne Custer well I think that’s the last shop update one Dwayne, now I have some cooking/decorating/other things...... I never run out of ideas! Maybe I’ll follow Norma round all one day, though that shouldn’t take long as she’s asleep most of the tine! 😂❤️😊
Nifty idea to use jeans. I interline mine with TimTex which makes them quite firm and upright. I’m going to give your version a go. Thank you. Early on in vid as you were marking n cutting from the template, Norma could be heard. Too cute. Looking forward to reading her book. 😻
Cyn Forest I’ve taught this in the past and used interlining - I’m guess that TimTex? and it worked just fine. We also made neater boxes without the exposed seam, but I prefer my scrappy style xxx ❤️😊 Norma is on her way xxxxx
Kate, thank you for sharing how you did these. I am just a novice when it comes to sewing, but I can sew a straight line! These look rather fun, perhaps I will try some on a snowy day this winter. Thank you. Catherine
Oh I love these little boxes!!! And they would be so perfect for Christmas this year so I should have lots of time to make some!! Thank you for the tutorial!! I just love all of your videos and your cats!!
Those are soooo cute! While I was watching, I thought of making the sides a bit taller and turning the edge down an inch or so. I love ALL your videos! I found you because of your pottery video and I haven’t seen another pottery video since! But I really enjoy everything you do. I’ve got my calendar all set for 292!🥰🎨🌵
These are so adorable. And I love that you used things from your stash of fabrics. I have a huge bag of jeans that I've been muddling through and this is a perfect little project. I love it!
Have you ever used crafting foam for stability? I am wanting to make storage baskets for my fat quarters, and I really love this idea. I was just wondering if the crafting foam would be too thick for this project.
Just love your ideas! I am going to cut this out as soon as I finish watching this video. I have got to go to joanns or Hobby Lobby and get some netting along with interfacing which I have been needing. Blessings.
