For the longest time I avoided patterns that required turning long, narrow, tubes of fabric. Sashes made me sweat and I had more than a few nightmares while turning skinny straps.
Then I discovered tube turners!
Where had they been all my life? These simple little tools are wonder workers. Now, tubes are fun. Did I say that? Yes....I did. TUBES ARE FUN!
First, here's a great little YouTube demo...
I give it "two thumbs up"!
And here's where you can find them...
I purchased the smaller sizes and made my own larger ones, using PVC pipe and wooden dowels.
You will not know how you lived without them!!!

ReplyDeleteHi Karla,
DeleteI've been sewing my whole life and only found these a couple of years ago. They are awesome!
Seriously! I love this! Thank you!
ReplyDeleteI just spent an evening turning through 8 skinny little straps and it was AWFUL. THANK YOU
ReplyDeleteOMG. How awesome. I hate making casings and tubes and straps and like you, I avoid anything that has a skinny strap or tube making that is pain to work with in turning. Thanks for sharing this amazing gadget. I am gonna have to run out and grab a set of these for myself for Christmas. :) And I like the idea of the pvc pipe for larger tube turning gadget. very neat idea.
ReplyDeleteI absolutely Love these, Thank You!!! These are going or I should say are making my life easier now!
