The felt kits at dollar store are great idea to do appliques. Thank you ☺️

I started the video and my husband said, "I know that music!" He knows you are my favorite sewing teacher.
I live the idea of the pre-cut kits. I am going to be on the lookout for those!

Several years ago, I got a container of 100 cookie cutters from Bed, Bath & Beyond, but I don’t know the price. The grandchildren use them for playdoh, and I use them for appliqués.

You always make me smile! I will give it a try to do some applique. I used felt to make western vests for my grandkids. It sewed easily and does not ravel when I cut the fringe. 😀

Our Dollar Tree store doesn't carry much in things to make templates.
I was looking for the leaf you showed in another video. I am so disappointed....
Great tips on this one!

I’ll have to dig out my cookie cutters

[janetgraf]

You are so clever using those circle templates. Thank you for showing how you do it.

[eileenmeyers]

Another good way to make simple templates is to buy clear cutting mats from Dollar Tree (they come 2 in a pkg) and use children's coloring books with simple pictures in them. You can see through the mats to trace the shapes.

[charlamckinney]

Great ideas! Thank you so much for sharing this clever and helpful information.

[suziehemmer]

Thank you for sharing. This was very interesting.

How did you make the Celtic knot on the shamrock? Wow!

[evelyngoodling]

Got some great ideas for Christmas hot pads. Thanks.

[eileenmeyers]

How did you do the Celtic knot on top of the clover?

[midgethorn]

Funny about talking about the waddle. We would probably have had a problem understanding thing!🤣🤣🤣
Thanks for all the ideas!

My hubby thinks I'm crazy for saving different things for their shapes. I think he's finally realizing after all these years, they are just junk, they are very useful. I'm making a pumpkin pot holder now, from the wooden pumpkin from the dollar Tree. I'll post it on Fb when done. Got to use upnall the Fall fabric I just got on my shopping haul. Thanks for the tip.
