I commented before but need to say it again…you have to be one of the best instructor for teaching that I know. Not only do you show us how but the why you do things. Excellent!! Thank you.
That's so lovely Deb. Thank you😁
This is such a cute idea and will hide cards very well
I live in a senior community and will make some for the card players here! Thanks for such a well thought out pattern!!
You are so welcome Rhodie. Thank you😀
I’m just beginning this session but wanted to suggest before I forget . . . I get inexpensive packs of plastic cutting “boards” from kitchen section @ Dollar Tree. They’re perfect for templates. (I’m in Pennsylvania, USA, so don’t know what store would be in Australia or other countries.)
This is wonderful! I’m thinking of so many ways to gift, too. A set of 4 for my son’s family would be fun at game time. Some for card playing friends, maybe Bible flash cards for sabbath school, home schoolers, too . . . my mind is reeling. I think these would sell very well at market w/ suggestions.
You’re always so generous. Thank you!!
Thanks for the tip. I think our cheap shops have them too 😊
Might sound silly but I wonder if you could patent these? They're so simple but so clever.
@@alisoncameron4937 I think this type of thing has been around for some time. Would be great if I could 😄
@@ChristinesHomeAffairs I'm going to make one for my ipad!
Hello Christine, my Sister in law gave me one of these today I was so excited I have such bad arthritis in my hands and this is going to help me immensely her and my brother where teaching me a new card game I have never played before and she was noticing that I had trouble holding my cards and and I was telling her I wanted to buy a card holder and she gave me this card holder not only is it going to help me hold my cards when I'm playing cards but it is very pretty to look at.
I'm so happy you've got one Nancy. I hope it helps you win too😁
I'm so pleased you've got one Nancy, and hope it helps you win too😁
This is great! Thank you for another easy to follow tutorial! I think they will sell. I live in a 65+ neighborhood and think I’ll make a few for our card room.
I'm sure they'll love it Vicky🙂
What a wonderful tutorial with easy to follow instructions. Thank you!
I think I will try the cheapo cutting mats from the Dollar Store for the template plastic.
Those cutting mats should be perfect for this😁
Was thinking the same. Have used to make patterns as well.
Lovely design Christine - lots of uses such as holding up a recipe card/small stationery set & little girls would love them for bits & bobs
That was exactly what Chris said to me today. What a great idea Mary🙂
Mary : that is great idea for recipe card !
BRILLIANT!!!
Haha, thank you 😊
Thank you definitely making for my niece who doesn't have control of her left hand and arm
That sounds like a lovely gift idea Jen😀
@@ChristinesHomeAffairs you have wonderful tutorials thank you for taking the time to share with us ♥
Brilliant tutorial. I have made this for my 7 year old granddaughter who love to play Uno, using fabric of her favourite themes…dinosaurs and Harry Potter. So pleased with the results.
That sounds so cure Michele😁
I came across this tutorial quite by accident, but glad I did! Useful it it's own right, but with slight modifications, would make a dandy recipe card holder!
Oh yes! What a great idea😁
Thanks Christine. I can buy cheap cutting boards to use for the inserts. My husband has Parkinson’s so holding cards isn’t as easy as it was. This is better for him than the other round card holder you showed. Looking forward to making a few for my friend with a beach house where we have many card games. Thanks for instructing
The cutting boards are a great idea Betty🙂
I use a cheap flimsy plastic cutting board (you can bend these to dump vegetables into the pot) for template plastic and I find these in the grocery store. I am making the card holders you demonstrated made from cottage cheese carton lids for a nursing home. These demonstrated in this video will be perfect for those with arthritis in their hands that can’t hold cards. Thank you SO much! I enjoy your videos and their succinct instructions and demonstration of construction without the distracting chit chat that others do! And I really enjoy learning from you! Thanks for what you do!I
Thanks so much Joyce. The cutting boards are a great idea too😀
I was thinking -- oh that's pretty material -- and completely forgot about commenting it was my favorite of the fabrics you showed us. We played Canasta with my mom and aunts and grandma and girl cousins on Sunday afternoon. The men and boys were outside telling stories. Customs in the 60's were different. I would never dream of separating like that now. Thanks for sharing.
I actually made something else with some of this fabric several months ago, but the video had sound issues. I'll get back to it one day.
I used to play Canasta a lot when younger. It's always been one of my favourite card games🙂
This is excellent!!!
Thanks Susan. I'm glad you liked it😀
Thanks for the very thorough tutorial. As always you make it so easy to follow . Best instructions I’ve seen. ❤
Thanks Marie😀
Love this idea, I might make some for the elderly see how they like them
I'm sure they'll love them Winny😁
You are one clever lady. Your tutorials are over the top. Keep the projects coming. Love your channel.
Thank you so much Pat😁
If you want to get the ball rolling for selling these, perhaps gift a few to a local retirement community. At many of our Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) groups here in the US, they have regular card-playing events. I’m a Vietnam Era vet, so I think I’m going to make some of these for our local VFW. As most of the members are men, I’ll use neutral fabrics. This is just a great project. As arthritic as my fingers are, they can’t compare to what some of the even older vets have to endure, especially here in the coastal Pacific Northwest where it rains nine months of the year.
That's such a lovely idea Sharon. I'm sure the VFWs will love these😀
I love you 🧡 this is the easiest tutorial I've watched on how to make this. I've made a few following another tutorial and it confused me so much. It took me so long to make it that I'd have to charge $100 just for the time alone 🤣🤣🤣. I made 2 and decided to give up, but I now have a new enthusiasm to try again. So thank you Christine for this easy to follow tutorial. 🧡
Thanks Leah. I really hope this version works out much quicker for you than the others did🙂
Thank you for this tutorial. I make and sell helpings hands at my market stalls. I wanted something similar but freestanding for my sister-in-law who has only one functional arm/hand following a stroke. This was perfect! I made her one for Christmas and she was very happy once she tested it out and she saw she could play cards independently. So again, thank you!
That's so wonderful Kalani. Thanks for sharing😁
Thank you. I can't wait to make these. I have pelltex just waiting for a project. My brother who is starting to have arthritis said he still couldn't use the helping hands. This is a great solution. Thank you so much.
I hope this version suits your brother Gigi😀
I made one of these for my bingo pals and followed you step by step and it came out perfect now I am making one for myself and sister. Thanks for the tutorial you are one of the best teachers in my book!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thank you so much Mary😀
What a clever idea you never cease to amaze us.Hope they sell well.
Thanks Eve. I hope they do well too🙂
waw... what a perfect idea... My dad had very bad eyes... but he likes playing with cards... we bought big cards for visually impaired ... and with this beautifull card holder he can play easily
That sounds just perfect for your dad Nicky😀
I just made this for my mom. She'll love it! Thank you for such clear instructions. I alternated colors for my mom's vision impairment. Thank you again, Christine! 💗
That's awesome Janet. Hope she loves it😀
I would like to make for myself. This video is the best one so far because the holder is so sturdy.
It holds so many cards too Beth😁
Wow that is fabulous design. I'm thinking it's a great sales item, especially since you 've had great success with the hand held round ones. Sweet and quickly done. I'm going to make some for my own, as the arthritis has made playing canassta not fun anymore. Maybe I can get back in the game room for a few hours.
Fingers crossed it helps your game Carylanne😁
Wonderful. Will make my mother one as she can no longer hold cards. Thank you so much from the UK ❤
You are so welcome Karen😁
Thank you! Now I wish I had someone to play Canasta with!
So do I Elaine. Mum lives 2hrs from me, and I doubt she'd remember how to play now😁
Love this! Great for all ages. You have a wonderful gift for teaching. Thank you for sharing ❤️
Thank you so much Karon😀
Might have to try my hand at making one of these. Thank you for the super clear instructions.
You're very welcome. Hope you enjoy making this😁
I really enjoy kistening to you. What a surprise to see you are a production seamstress, too. I was apprenticed many years ago to make doll clothes for the porcelain doll industry. Not many know this industry. What a delight to have found you!
Thank you, and welcome to my channel.
I just love production sewing. It's very therapeutic.
You're right though. I wouldn't have considered it for the doll industry 😀
Love the tutorial.The card holder is very versatile, and very pretty fabric choices.
Thanks Loraine😀
Genius!
Haha, thanks Marisa🙂
You are amazing Christine! So love your work, thank you again for your inspiration 😘
Thank you so much Helen🙂
Omg!!! I have been wondering how to make these!!! I have made the handy helpers for my family’s weekly card nite, and this would be perfect for our game board bites ( many more cards to hold!!!) Christine you are just awesome!!! Thank you for just being you!!!❤
Thank you Tina. I'm so glad you like them😀
Excellent idea!! Your instructions were perfect !! Will be making this for my granddaughter. Thanks for teaching us how to make this card holder!
What a lovely idea Mary 😁
That’s so smart. I love the fabric that you used. ❤
Thank you Synnove😊
Excellent Christine. Thanks for doing this.
You're very welcome AnnaMarie🙂
Thanks for the instructions for the card holder. Very good instructions and easy to follow. I will be making several of these
Thanks Ellen. I really like this style
Great tutorial as always. Thanks Christine
Thanks Janet🙂
Excellent instructions. Yes, this is something I will make.
Happy sewing Melanie😁
At this time, I would not have use for one. However, it is nice to know that a playing card holder can e made when needed. Thank you for this video.
You are so welcome Arvetta🙂
Love all of your tutorials
Thanks Kimberly ☺️
Such great ideas you share! Thank you!
Thank you Connie😁
This is so cute! My husband wants one so I will be making this! Thank you!
That's awesome Kim. Happy sewing!😁
How clever!! This would work for my grandchildren as well!
They'd love it Madeline😀
Excellent Tutorial: you’ve spent time to explain each step to achieve a great item to gift. I’m looking forward to making one. Appreciate your time given to share this. Thank you.
Thanks so much SB. It was a fun one to make😀
Love these! I love all videos, you always do a great job explaining the 'what, why & how' to make the projects. Happy sewing ❤️🧵🪡
Thank you so much Adam🙂
Absolutely brilliant! 🎉
Thank you Alison😁
Another Excellent idea & excellent instruction. Thank you.
Thanks Dianne ☺️
Thats great
Thank you😀
Thank you so much! Just brilliant and easy to follow👍
You're very welcome Sherry 😀
Absolutely love this❤ Going to make a few to sell at the local senior center. Lots of card players there😄
These are very popular for the seniors Shell😁
This is awesome. Again, something great and useful.
Thanks Janet😀
Wow! Amazing!! Thank you.
Glad you liked it Miriam😁
you have so many great ideas. Thank you sincerely, from Canada
Thank you Tina😀
i really enjoy you and your vids. i have learned more from your vids than all the classes i have taken. keep up the good work. and ty ty ty
That's so lovely Kath. Thank you😁
Excellent tutorial.💚
Thank you Jo-Ann 😊
Lovely!
Thanks Joyce🙂
I am going to try to make some to sell at our upcoming Fleamarket in May. Thanks for sharing
Good luck witht the sales Doris😁
Very clever!
Thanks Narelle😀
I was about to say same. Discount shop often has the disposable chopping boards in pkts of 3. I use as template plastic all the time
The chopping boards are a great idea. Probably cheaper too Sandy😀
Very clever
Thanks Jenny🙂
Love this idea - I'm sure it could be used for other purposes. Hope you do well with this one 📌
Thanks Lesley. Chris suggested it would be a great recipe card holder too😁
Oh dear dear. We've been playing a new game called Five Crowns. You start with only three cards but then work your way up to thirteen. This will be perfect. Again, another amazing idea💜love it.
Gwen/ Indiana USA
Gwen, we play this game all the time and just love it! To make it more interesting, we play all the way up to the kings, then play all the way back down again 😁
Oh wow, we play to kings as well. We will definitely have to try playing back down. Our school goes on spring break last week of March and first week of April (hallelujah) I may have to make this one of my spring break projects.
Gwen, you'll have to make one for all the other players too😂
Great idea, I personally would use recycling cardboard and apolstry fabric to make it sturdier. 😀
Great idea Giovanna. I do lots of the round card holders with upholstery fabric too. I have loads of very long pieces as well, so might just do them again in one piece😁
@@ChristinesHomeAffairs got the spellings wrong of upholstery 😋 but you understood all the same.
I will make them to self
Sale
I hope they're a great success for you Nancy🙂
I will let you know how it goes
I will let you know how it goes
I just discovered your channel tonight and I love it! It's a bonus that you're in Australia too. A possible thing to use for the plastic is xray films. If using light coloured fabric I think they can be cleaned off, not sure of how at the minute though. 😊
That's a fabulous idea Narelle. Welcome!😁
It figures, I just threw my old old x-rays away 🥺. Every time I clean my sewing/craft room and throw stuff away, I end up needing it!
@@kathrynnorton1987 always happens that way 😊
Another great show us how video, with every step explained clearly, my to make list is getting longer, along with baking now!!! where do you find all this time? you are one amazing lady Christine.
Haha, thanks Faye. I have lots of little naps😁
May I suggest how to make a coffee carrier. Enjoy your tuts. Many thanks
That's been on my list for a while Lorelle. I tried one, but didn't like how it turned out😀
I need something similar for rummy O ( also called rummikin) with tiles. The tiles would be lost in pockets but maybe clear thick plastic ( like use for see thru project bags) may work. What do u think - narrower pockets might help as well . The original plastic holders broke
The clear pockets would have to be more loose as well so the tiles can easily removed. Will give it some thought, It will certainly be a challenge😀
Thank you for this video. Loved the tip on using double-sided tape to hold the velcro in place, before machine-stitching the velcro. Does the stickiness of the double-sided tape affect the sewing machine thread tension? Also what pellon product are you using? I have some medium weight iron on interfacing - if I apply 2 layers of the interfacing to one of the main pieces (the paisely fabric), can this replace the pellon?
Rosa the double sided tape is very thin and won't have any effect on your sewing. Just use a good quality tape specific for sewing so it doesn't gum up your needles. You can use any interfacing, but test someone a small piece of fabric first
@@ChristinesHomeAffairs thank you Christine. Did you make the foldable card holders for your shop and did they sell?
I have this one in the shop, but it hasn't sold yet Rosa
@@ChristinesHomeAffairs Thank you Christine. May I ask what price you have on it? I have made some and it take at least 2.5 hours each - so labour intensive. Materials, including quilting cotton, come to approx $20 per item.
I think these will go over well in our senior community. I have made 3 so far. they seem bulky where the card holder part is. I don't know what (bactrum) is that what you put inbetween the 5.1/2" piece of fabric. where could one purchase that. it looks thinner then what I used. Thanks for doing these viedo's I enjoy them and I have made your shoe bags too I love them.
Thanks Joan. I think the product you mean is "Buckram". It's a very stiff cotton product often put in ties or suits. Available fusible or sew in. I used Peltex for mine, but Decovil would also be perfect for it. As for the pockets, I'd just use a light weight fusible interfacing so there isn't too much bulk. 😀
@@ChristinesHomeAffairs Thanks so much I think they are really nice for the seniors here with arthritis. Some don't play cards anymore because they can't hold the cards.
Great tutorial! ❤🙏🏼
Could anyone please help me understand what's the word for the material that's been used to the give firmness to the card slots?
There are many different stabilisers you can use Juliana😁
Christine, I had a couple of thoughts during this tutorial, which is brilliant by the way :)
Firstly. I was in the Op-Shop today and saw a heap of curtain heading, do you think this could be useful instead of iron on interfacing (which I would need to use)? and also, The firm plastic reminded me so much of the flimsy cutting boards that are available very cheaply at a 'dollar store' type place (I am thinking the Remnant Shop - which is the closest one to me) - Would that - or could that be a useful item for that purpose?
I think as they are how you have made this one, they will be quite expensive, but I will still make a few and take them to the aged care facility in our town.
Thanks so much for the idea :)
I was thinking the same thing about the dollar store cutting mats.
Yes, I think the dollar store mats would work perfectly. I like to use the curtain heading tape where I need really stiff interfacing, and also on skirt waists😀
Where are you based Christine. Loving all your tutorials, very clear and lovely items.
Lynn, I'm in Vic, Australia. A beautiful little town called Nagambie🙂
@Christine's Home Affairs
awe beautiful 😍
Wasn't sure and saw some people saying, they would pop into your shop.
Bit far from me, I'm in scotland😆
Videos are great Christine and you have so many skills.

Haha. I feel much better now😂😂
@@ChristinesHomeAffairs love your ideas :)
What would be the measurements if I'm using 1 inch velcro
It won't change things Nancy. 😁
@@ChristinesHomeAffairs thank you
Could you make 4 for me, we play canasta. How much do you charge
I think I sell these one for $30 each Jacqueline😁
Sorry I can’t afford that since I would have to buy 4 of them. But you do a great job..
Please in german???!
