I am excited to sew again!! I got an old machine out because my son volunteered me to sew new covers for the neighbors 20 year old lawn chairs (he didn't save the old one for a template 😢). . . I got it done and went to the Dollar Tree to get drying mats and hand towels to attempt a carrier for a 9 x 13 pan. Get for taking stuff to church fellowships!

The bias tape makes it so cute!! I have seen it without but I like your way so much better. Thanks for sharing your talent with us ☀️🌺

Cute idea. I have a friend who goes to a beauty supply store and she buys the plastic hair covers. Works good too

I started to buy some of the hair covers and my husband threw a fit saying I didn't know what was in the plastic and he didn't want his food touching it.

Very simply done and without any stress... Thank ou ver much!

Love watching you! I have bias tape tools but I have never used them. So fun to see. Thank you! You make me want to sit at my machine in my craft room and create! My family calls it my “crap” room. 🤣🤣

This is very cute! I hate that I'm telling you this, but oh my goodness don't forget to close the blade on your cutter!

Thank You Chelsea! You are an awesome teacher! I’m excited to start sewing some things. I went to the Dollar Tree and purchased the drying mats to make my first purse and/or tote bag. I’m going to make some bowl covers too. I’ve needed these so many times!! ❤

❤ I love your videos. You make it all look so easy. You are a great inspiration ♡♡

When I put elastic into a casing, I mark my overlap spot on the elastic, but I don't cut it. After I push the elastic through the casing, I have a long piece of elastic hanging out, no worries that it will get lost in the casing. Then I gather the fabric over the elastic and find the overlap mark. I sew the two ends together before I cut the elastic off. I find it works best for me this way. Maybe it will help someone else, too. Thanks for this tutorial. These would be good for raising bread dough in a bowl, too.

Really nice..a little bit bigger it could be surgical bonnet.

That print is absolutely adorable. I wish I could find some of that because I would make some of these for my son he's an absolute hot sauce fanatic!

Absolutely adore you and loving you tutorials

Love your videos. I also got my sewing machine out of the closet. Thank you for all the inspiration s.

Thank you for these!! Seriously I absolutely love watching all of your videos. Your personality is truly so welcoming and always uplifting. I also have three kids and often wish to make them eat outside as well. 🤣 not sure how old your kiddos are but my middle child is 11 and she still eats like a toddler so maybe they will outgrow it 🤷‍♀️ maybe not 😂. Thank you for always giving me inspiration.

Thank you for the longer tutorials!!❤

I have these.

My first Selena she was from Seers and I still have it and I haven’t used in the forever because it kept making birds nests and getting all tangled up. Seers finally gave up trying to fix it and gave me a coupon for a new one. I need to Seers as well. But I was trying to get out was it said you could sew over pins with it I never broke a pin but just I did bend a few. But it did miss up some needles when I did that.

I am new to sewing@ thank you for the idea!

Love your channel Chelsea. Watching you sew is giving me the confidence to use my mom's old sewing machine and tackle an easy, small stakes project that doesnt matter if i make some beginner mistakes. Keep teaching and showing us new things about bias tape and other tips and tricks! Appreciate you! Maybe you can make a video about beginners maintenance of sewing machine. How to thread the machine. How to put the needle in. Basic troubleshootig that you have to do when sewing.

Awesome 🎉

Once again you are motivational and fun. I have yards and yards of elastic from pandemic mask days. Thanks for your time

If you curve the bias binding as you iron it, it will be easier to sew. Doesn’t have to be exact either!

Great project, Thank you. Is there something I can line them with so they can be put in the fridge?

Attach the binding to the back side first. Then fold over and stitch the front. Then you are assured both sides of the bias is stitched.

Yes! If you quilt, just bind it like a quilt, doing a machine-stitched binding.

I feel a need to address a comment regarding not using bias tape. I am curious how you would apply the elastic to the fabric? I’m a seasoned crafter/quilter/garment seamstress and I’m curious because I can’t think of a better way. I’m kind of old though and maybe I’m just forgetting something. I hope this doesn’t sound snarky because it’s not meant to be. ❤👍😎🧐

It’s a great question! You can fold the hem in at 1/4 inch around the circle and press and then turn in another 1/2 inch around the circle and press. The reason I chose the bias tape method is that it could be argued that trying to hem a circle as a beginner sewist can be just as challenging if not harder than using bias tape which naturally arcs with your fabric. There’s a million ways to do things when it comes to sewing and I always appreciate people like you who use kindness and genuine curiosity in their tone when asking questions or commenting. Thanks for being you! ❤❤ Happy Sewing! 🎉

@@shesewsseams I think the nicest, most professional way is with the bias tape. For me fiddling about with seams on a circle just isn’t worth the effort. I’ve done it, but my arthritic fingers just don’t want to do it that way!🤪
