@@bookhoudesign I've been curious about making a pouch that has some kind of accordion-style dividers. Like the pouch shown here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-olk3EiDi0dg.html. At a recent skillshare of yours, I think I saw that you had a zip pouch wallet (?), did that have accordion sides? NO RUSH but would love a tutorial on that kind of a 'small craft things' organizer as well.
@@bookhoudesign Oh sorry! I didn't mean the actual site. I was at a visible mending online class offering of yours, I can't recall the group that sponsored it. It was in Oct over zoom. Maybe it was just a smaller, softer, cloth version of this tool roll. I remember it had a zippered part and looked like the size of a mens wallet.
Fantastic. I know folks who use Otter wax (or something like that) to restore waxed fabric. I once sewed some waxed paper bag book covers that had a nice texture. Used a furniture wax.
Great project and I love the pieced pouch inside!! How is your sewing machine cutting the thread after you’ve finished a seam? You also don’t have to pull/lengthen the thread after cutting it! I’ve used juki factory machines before but have never seen this.
thanks so much, yes it has an automatic back tack and when I push on the heel part of the pedal it automatically cuts the threads, it is a huge time saver!
I love this! Do you use a special sized needle for working with the heavier fabrics? What are those white things you are marking your canvas with, and put into the roll? I didn't know you had books until I read the comment below. I've followed you on IG for several years. I find your videos very relaxing, low stress.
glad you liked the video, yes if you use it a lot there will be some residue, I clean my machine every few days and have been sewing for decades on the same machine with heavy waxed canvas use and the machine hasn't had any issues🙂
I. Loved. This!! Awesome. Just got your pattern. So great to see you do the work -- helpful. Do you have an recommendations if we are sewing this on our regular sewing machines? Sturdier needles?
I’d love to know what sewing machine you have. I love the automatic thread cutter! I was curious how it’s programmed since it cut whether you did 1 or 3 return runs to end the seam.
it's a juki 8700 series and it has the automatic back tack that you can program how many stitches to go back and the thread cutter, it's a great machine🙂
Good video and explanations like usual 😉 do you know where to find waxed canvas in montreal? Or do you get it online? Here fabric stores don’t even know it exists..thanks
happy you like the video, you can get the fabric here www.blackbirdfabrics.com/collections/group-waxed-cotton-canvas they are based in B.C. lots of nice colours
Hello!! I have a small question regarding the waxed canvas, is it possible to get the canvas fabric and then wax it ? (DIY) and if is possible, which kind of wax are is better ?
Yes you can do that, Otter sells a product with instructions on their website on how to use it. Essentially it looks like a bar of soap that is rubbed on the cloth and you use a hair dryer to even it out. You can use beeswax but I find it’s too stiff.
