That was an exceptional instructional video. I can see why I subscribed to you! Clear, precise, no fuss, no watching needless sewing. I’ve seen these around on Facebook and have been envious but now I see it’s so easy, I’m going to make some for all my nieces and nephews for Christmas 😁

@alandacraft 4 года назад

I loved this tutorial❣️. You have a special talent teaching, your instructions are clear,concise & calming👍. I hope all is well, I was concerned not seeing posts for so long.

@alandacraft 4 года назад

Thank you so much for your lovely comment. We had burnt ourselves out by doing too much. There is only Paula and I doing everything and it took its toll. But after a nice long break and a rethink of what we will do in the future, we are happy to be back. 😀

@mgs783 4 года назад

On one hand I m relieved that it wasn’t Covi19 or other life threatening illness however, it is serious to be so invested in this channel to the point of exhaustion! So sorry that happened to you & glad you two have done what you needed to do to recoup! There is so much time and effort that goes into making tutorials and maintaining the channel, thank you for sharing your time and talents. It’s wonderful to see you with another tutorial and hopefully your new strategy will keep you well and not deplete you in any way❣️

@susanmorton5901 4 года назад

Nice to see you back Wanda, I always watch your tutorial for putting zips into cushions when I have made them, will have to give this one ago for the Grand Children.xx

@alandacraft 4 года назад

Thank you Susan. You will love how easily this one comes together. The grandchildren will love them 🙂

@thebradoctor1858 Год назад

Scrolling for gift ideas I came over from Andra makes. This was in her Top Ten Gift ideas. I love this. I prefer making gifts. Typically for my Networking group I bake several edibles because I figure we all have enough stuff!! So for YEARS, I have been giving edible gift with a decorated plate or mug! This year we will exchange differently so we are to bring just ONE gift!! I dont want to bake three batches of edibles for just one person! So, THIS IS PERFECT!! I am so happy to see your video I am sending you a Hug from Spotsylvania, Virginia, USA!!! Hugs, hugs, and God bless you with more ideas and videos!!!

@alandacraft Год назад

I am so glad you found us. We have a lot of quick and easy projects that make ideal gifts for all occasions. This one is a particular favorite. I made one of these for my great grandson and added the "Guess How Much I Love You' book.

@illawallaroo 4 года назад

So glad you’re back! I’ve missed your Aussie accent (I’m an Aussie living in the Boston area), but missed even more your excellent tutorials. I’ve watched many of them over and over again.

@alandacraft 4 года назад

Thanks so much Jessica. And by the way, the accent is Kiwi, although I've lived in Australia for a lot of years now so probably more Aussie now.

@illawallaroo 4 года назад

Alanda Craft that’s so funny. I grew up in Auckland and I always thought your accent was more kiwi than Aussie!

Great tutorial, lovely to see you again. Could you please tell me the fabric line you used with the cute aliens please? x

@alandacraft 4 года назад

The main fabric is 'Multi' by Sharla Fults for www.studioefabrics.net Patt. #4896 and the pocket is 'Lost in Space' Patt # 4899. I agree, Sue. they are cute and ideal for kids.🙂

@shadowmom 4 года назад

@karendsupin1744 4 года назад

All the information is on the website Karen. Here is the link www.alandacraft.com/2020/05/23/pocket-book-pillow-tutorial/

@margaretperry2392 4 года назад

I love your tutorials, my first zipper cushion was following your tutorial. Quick question, if I use batting and backing on the front piece, (so 3 pieces to make up the front piece) should I cut all my pieces a little bit bigger to allow for seam allowance?

@alandacraft 4 года назад

A bit difficult to tell without actually doing it. You shouldn't need to but without us testing it I can't give you a definitive answer. Personally I would cut them the same size as the pattern but I don't want to give you the wrong information in case it doesn't work out. I like plump, filled cushions.

@margaretperry2392 4 года назад

Hi again, loved this tutorial. Made a few tweaks. I did use batting and backing on the front piece only and quilted it. I also did French seams as I don’t have an overlocker. This made it a bit smaller, size 16 cushion fits, could possibly squeeze in a size 17.

@linphillips8331 4 года назад

It must be a drag to work in inches for the American audience. Or are quilting supplies in Oz sold in inches instead of metric?

@alandacraft 4 года назад

Fabric is sold by the meter in Oz, Lin, but quilters tend to use the imperial system when sewing, so it's no hassle working in inches; also I was educated in the days before the metric system was introduced. (showing my age there). 😀

@curious8890 2 года назад

As an American who never learned metric, I have to appreciate the Imperial measurements. My acrylic rulers are in Imperial only. I do wish we has converted as metric is a much more precise measurement. I use my tape measure to convert when tutorials are in metric. So I can see the desire. The two systems don't measure up precisely. However division is great with tape! Flip the Imperial over and do the dividing in metric and flip back! Maybe that's what you do to convert metric to Imperial?
