I’ve been doing the Sewing Challenge. I haven’t sewn much for many years, but we have a lot of new sewers in the group. I do not understand why there isn’t a list of materials needed. This one actually talks about needing paper clips, but never bothers to mention the dimensions of the 3 rectangles. Not much help. Other videos I’ve watched tell you half way through. Seriously, a waste of time. I like to get ALL of my materials ready before I start a project and I’m sure I’m not alone. Please start putting a list of what we’re going to need in the description so we don’t have to go through the video time and time again. Thank you.
Hi, Elizabeth. We would like to let you know that your feedback has been forwarded to the proper department. Your comments are important to us and help with the development of our online video streaming community.
Finding the fabric was impossible not even a large online fabric even knew what I was talking about.
Also no real measurements were given and I had to make up a size. I am not a pattern maker so it turned into a mess and had to throw it away. It was a real waste of time and fabric.
I made something similar, but on a larger scale for my craft paint brushes. Great for artists too!
Any sturdy weight fabric. I love home dec remnants, good weight and huge variety. Customize size to how many brushes you own, but add a few ‘vacant’ spaces for future additions to your collection.
This is lovely.
Ticket 21445 Yes what are the sizes of rectangles needed????? I found the fabric easily but I need the MEASUREMENTS SO I CAN CUT the rectangles!!!
Dear Sally,
Thank you for your patience. In response to your question-
The great thing about this project is that you can use any size of rectangle you want- you just need them all to be the same size.
Cheers,
Ashley
