[nursiejha]

hi! what type of fabric did you use? i am new to this kind of thing.. hope you could help me out! thanks!

[TheCraftyGemini]

@nursiejha I use 100% cotton fabric, a product called Insul-Brite and if you need more protection also include 1-2 layers of 100% cotton batting

Hi Vanessa! I did get it to work. I made the 2 I was working on. I will be posting pictures on your FB soon. :)

[TheCraftyGemini]

@LetiLaFlaca phew! That was a close one, eh? ;oP Can't wait to see them.

[LetiLaFlaca]

So, I'm in the process of making 2 of these...and my stupid sewing machine is NOT cooperating with me! I'm so mad right now! LOL

[TheCraftyGemini]

@LetiLaFlaca Oh No!! I hope you got it worked out. :o/

[passion4life13]

Thank You!!

[passion4life13]

What a great project. Thank You, for sharing it. I was wondering if there is anything else I could use instead of the Insul Bright. I did not see it in the store that I normally get my supplies. Do you have other options?

[TheCraftyGemini]

@passion4life13 You can use 2-4 layers of 100% cotton batting. It will just be a lot bulkier. Start off with 2 layers and see if you need more, etc.

[wakaroos]

hi i just got into sewing i dont have a machine yet but your videos are great i am only 12 and i take sewing in school i think these videos are amazing thank you!!

[TheCraftyGemini]

@wakaroos That's great to hear! Hope you get a machine soon so you can start making all kinds of fun stuff. :o)



[Msnotoftheworld]

these would look so cute with ears! or making one a little frog with eyes popping up, lol. it just looks so much like a mouth.

[TheCraftyGemini]

@Msnotoftheworld LOL. I guess they have a triple purpose! They can be hand puppets, too! LOL

[jcrefasi1]

Very cute idea. I like the idea of using up scraps and mixing and matching fabrics. I also like the fact it does double duty as a hot pad. Thanks Vanessa

[TheCraftyGemini]

@jcrefasi1 Definitely!! Have fun!

[wifemamateacher]

I love the way you are always wearing baby girl in your videos :). You craft, you cook, you baby-wear, and you are a natural birth-er...your family is so blessed to have you, you are a wonderful mama!

[TheCraftyGemini]

@wifemamateacher Thanks! Just trying to give my little family the life they deserve! :o)

[juliewalters74]

I don't really sew but I think this is an outstanding idea!!

[TheCraftyGemini]

@juliewalters74 Thank you! Maybe one day you'll give it a try. ;o)

[sewandsew61]

[TheCraftyGemini]

@sewandsew61 LOL. I had to upload it 3 different times today because of some glitches. So the two other posts I had to delete technically had about 400+ views. But it's all good... :oP

[pbgirl1711]

@ TheCraftyGemini totally understand I am just in awe of how amazing you are! I have a 5 year old special needs son and a 3 year old DIVA daughter and I am totally jealous of how you are able to accomplish so much! I don't know how you do it!!! But all the more power to you super mom!!!

[kikis792004]

I love it! Thanks for sharing

[lyddknitgurl67]

am i allowed to sell these on my etsy if not thats fine...? just asking permission first.

[TheCraftyGemini]

@lyddknitgurl67 Thanks for asking. Yes, you can sell as many as you want or make them as gifts. I just don't want someone mass manufacturing them. Have fun! I bet you'll have some cute fabric combinations! :o)

[lyddknitgurl67]

bettter! im making this for my sister in laws! thanks SOO much!

[pbgirl1711]

Such a good mommy being able to multi-task with baby in a sling on the front of you!

[TheCraftyGemini]

@pbgirl1711 Thanks! I try... gotta make sure my baby is nice and happy first.:o)
