"I have a daughter-in-law due in December and this will make a great gift for her. This is such a great idea and so fast and easy and you can check your stash and see what you have on hand. This is great project for a beginner too. Why not make some for a baby shower gift in some bold or pastel colors. A great tutorial with pictures."

"I would love to make this beautiful leaf table runner but there is no template anywhere I looked all over and the tutorial is a little bit confusing. Is there a video somewhere. I love the colors that was used but I can also see it done out of bright colors too."

"I have a hard time finding my bra size unless I go to a place that sells expensive ones and if you lose weight it starts to get very expensive so this is a good way to save money by resizing the one you have. I went to Victoria Secret to get some bras that would fit me right and I heard the lady talking to another accosiate and said we do not carry thet size and so they gave me one in a size they had that they thought would work and I did not like the way it looked and they said it would stretch. Well I was out of $150.00. I could have resized my own and got same result so this is something that is worth a try. Step by step pictures to help. Thanks."

"What a nice switch then just placing the silverware on the table it dresses the table up and they are so easy to make. You can really use some pretty fabric and trim or embellishment to use on any occasion even a wedding reception or formal dinner to just use everyday. Nice tutorial with pictures."
