its faster to them on the reg machine because you can sew chain style I did all of these in about an hour & a half, I think it takes longer to choose your fabrics then it did to make them lol. Thanks so much. ~hugs~

360368Having this set thanks to BEV aka bevintex made making these so much easier then fiddling with buttons & elastics. Kim AKA dragonflyer "walked" me through the directions & taught me how to use a stitch regulator so I could see how this was stitched out & she shared the instructions as she saw them. I am grateful for their help Cuties are wonderful!

I get them at JoAnn's and use a 50% coupon for them..really makes them reasonable to use...
299557Sorry to read that your machine is at "the beauty parlor" :) How wonderful that you used your sewing machine to make these delightful gifts! I am not familiar with KAM snaps and pliers, but probably should be :) I have a sneaking suspicion of which cutie is Kim that was so helpful. I may be wrong. But, I don't think so~ Your lip balm cases and the hand sanitizer case look great! Yeah, for sewing machines and yeah, yeah for friendly people willing to help!

67271Loralye, now that you're a pro. You'll have to show the rest of us how's it done! I think this is a great teachers gift idea for next year.

doing them by hand was actually really easy. I printed out the pattern then twice one for the back pc & one for the front. Because I knew I was making so many I traced them adding 1/4inch on to card board so it would last longer then paper. Then I traced the back onto 2 pcs of fabric right sides together stitched the round part @ the top & down the sides to the point that the front would start. The front I cut wrong sides together with the fold @ the top then I pressed everything & laid the front piece wrong sides together with the back pc wrong sides together & stitched down both sides where the front pc starts then you flip it right side out again. Then I added the snaps. A hint when adding the snaps it is easier if they go to the top of the front pc out of the way of your lip balm because then you can snap it open & shut without interference from the lip balm. I hope this helps
