From one teacher to another, job! WOW, the "pink" fabric is showing as Brught red on my Samsung tablet and TV.

U are a fantastic teacher! Thank u so much for the instructional tutorial & tips. I'm into bag making but came across ur videos & I enjoy it very much that I just had to subscribed

My sewing team has been making fleece hats and mittens for 5 years. Make sure the head piece is also a double layer. All of our hats are reversible. I also live in a cold climate.

Love, love, love these hat options!!! Thank you

[kathleendechellis]

The reason the fabric does not get sucked down at the beginning of your stitching a seam is that the feed dogs have something to grab when you place the scrap under the presser foot. This method also is great for piecing quilts.

I love your videos. They are so easy to follow. You explain everything so clearly. Thank you for your videos.

Can this pattern be used with washed/felted 100% wool flannel fabric? I have tons and tons of the stuff and I was thinking of making things for the winter for charity including homeless. I'd also appreciate any ideas you might have for this purpose. I've already made many scarves out of felted, soft wool fabric with edges left raw (It won't unravel) and mock fringe about 1/2" wide cut with shears on both ends. Thank you so much for the great tutorials.

I just discovered you and thank you for this pattern.
PLEASE
Can you give me an idea on materials and measurements for a toddler size hat.

I would be so grateful.

Fantastic..thanks Jan. 👏How come you can use your rotary cutter without the green mat 🤔? 💐

[louisetheunissen]

Hi, is this pattern only for patreon members. I tried the link .... access denied. Tried your shop on your access denied. I can't even look at your free scarf pattern. I am not sure if it is settings on my side. Anyone out there with advice? Thank you.

[markpinther]

At 13:00 you said not to sew the sides. I wish my brain had picked up on that cuz now I am seam ripping the Z stitches. ha!

I forgot to mention I am more than happy to pay extra for shipping on that pattern.

[barbaraferron]

Can you use an overlock foot and stitch on a regular sewing machine for fleece?

[pamm]

Suggestion, for future videos show the item longer at the beginning than in this video and in better detail before getting to the tutorial portion. I was confused at what you were making.

Hi Jan. I ordered your fleece earflap hat on Etsy and I was so excited to start sewing it as I want to give it to my grandson at an upcoming party. However, I was not able to print it because my printer is not working for some reason. Is there any way you can mail to me the pages with the pattern, I already have the instructions on the download from Etsy. I just cannot find a nicer pattern than yours. Thank you.

[dianahuntingford]

where do I find PDF of your fleece ear hat patterns

[barbaraferron]

I would like a hat like this that does not cover my forehead. Like a large adult size babybonnet.
