This video is supported in part by Skillshare. Hello! Welcome to a new series
on this channel, the Scrap Box Challenge, where - you guessed it! - I'm going to make
different projects using scrap fabrics left over from other sewing projects.
I've got this entire box here filled up with scrap fabrics, and in these videos I'm
gonna try and empty this box by making all kinds of different useful projects
out of them, no matter how weird, misshapen or seemingly unusable the
scrap pieces might be! So let's get started on today's project. As you can
see, I have this splint thing on my wrist, I have injured my wrist, I think... I just
strained it by - sewing too much - but because of that I'm not able to do too
much sewing right now. So I was trying to think of a good, easy project that I
could do for the first video, and because Ella is staying with me right now - she's
salty because I haven't taken her for a (spelling) W - A - L - K yet - I thought that I would make
her some bandanas or neckerchiefs, whatever you want to call them, that go
around the collar, so they're really easy to put on and also safe and comfortable
for the dog too. So first I need to find a cute fabric - it's a project that only
requires a very small amount of fabric so it's perfect for a search through the
Scrap Box. So I actually film this part a few days
ago - magic of editing! Which is why my outfit is completely different. Anyway
first I'm gonna show you all what kind of scraps are in the box! So in here we
have some very small scraps, like these are tiny bits from when I've cut off the
seam or overlocker scraps, and then there is slightly bigger scraps, more
sizeable scraps like maybe half a metre long, got stuff like old pillow cases
that I want to turn into something else, fabrics that I got from remnant bins, so
it's only, again, about half a meter. Little samples from fabric upholstery
shops like this lovely orange velvety fabric, an old towel, bits of old denim
jeans that are no longer wearable, and a very sad-looking Jake the dog from
Adventure Time, who's had his leg decapitated and half his stuffing pulled
out as well. In you go, Jake! So I'm going to pick a fabric out of here that is light
to medium weight, and a woven cotton fabric - how about this one, Ella?
Okay that's a good color for you! Okay so first some basic maths - what I'll need to
cut from my fabric is a square and a rectangle.
Both the square's diagonal and the rectangle's length will be the same. To
get this measurement, I simply need my dog's collar. I measured the length of
the dog collar which was 14 and a half inches long, and then I subtracted two
inches from this measurement giving me 12.5 inches. So the rectangle's long edge
will be 12.5 inches for my dog. This will also be the length of the diagonal
of the square. Now, to get the sides of the square, because that just makes it
easier to cut out, we need to turn to trigonometry. Now if you were never good
at trigonometry in school - don't freak out - there's plenty of websites to help
you do this. So first imagine cutting the square into
two identical halves - this gives you two identical right-angled triangles. So we
know the length of the diagonal which is this side of the triangle, and we'll call
that side C. The other sides are A and B. Then, let's do this the easy way because
I hated trigonometry too, let's Google a trigonometry calculator. Okay, this will
do! So we know side C - it's twelve point five - so put that in, and for the
calculator to work we also need to know one of the angles other than the right
angle (which is 90 degrees). This is easy - all right angled triangles that are also
isosceles triangles will have angles A and angles B both 45 degrees. (If you
don't know what's going on here just trust me). And here we go! This is the
calculation for side A and side B - we only need one of them because they're
the same - and they both came out at eight point eight three eight eight... I'm just gonna
round it down to eight and three-quarter inches. Tt doesn't need to be perfect.
Cool! So, putting the triangles back together, the square is going to be eight and
three quarters of an inch by eight and three quarters of an inch. So that's the
square done! Lastly, I needed to figure out how wide the rectangle needed to be.
This rectangle is going to eventually form a tube that goes around the dog's
collar, holding the bandana in place, so it needs to be more than double the
width of the current dog collar, plus I need to make room for the thickness of
the collar and the buckles on it as well, so I recommend making it at least three
times your dog's collars' width, if not more. So I measured Ella's
collar like this width ways, and I multiplied it by three. So the collar is
about one inch wide, times three, is three inches. So I decided on a long rectangle
of 12.5 inches by three inches. But if you're doing this yourself I recommend
wrapping this piece around your dog's collar like this to make sure it's right
and remember to include some seam allowance before beginning! Okay, with
these two pieces figured out, it's time to cut up some fabric! First I used these
measurements to cut out the square, then I folded the square in half diagonally
and I pressed my fingers on the edge to form a visible crease. I unfolded it and
I used my scissors to cut down that crease. I then put the two triangle
pieces aside, and I cut out the long rectangle using the same dimensions from
before. Then with the rectangle piece facing right sides up I placed one of
the triangles on top, right sides down. The longest edge of the triangle needs
to match up with the long edge of the rectangle. I clipped the two pieces
together before sewing across the long edge with a straight stitch, and a
quarter inch seam allowance.
I pressed seam open using my iron and then I basically did the same thing
again! With this rectangle and triangle piece facing right sides up, I placed the
second triangle on top right sides down, long edges matching. I clipped them
together and then sewed along the edge again with a quarter inch seam allowance.
I pressed the seam open with my iron - and pressed open seams look like this by the way.
Now that everything is joined together I flipped the piece around so
that it was laying right sides down, then I folded up one edge of the rectangle
piece by approximately 3/8 of an inch, and I sewed across it with a quarter
inch seam allowance.
And I repeated this on the other side as well.
Then I folded the entire piece back on itself, in half like this, right sides
together, so the two tips of the triangles on either side should be
matching up. I then clipped the fabrics in place all the way around the triangle
shape, and next I'm going to sew it together here and here.
Take note: do not sew up here, only sew around the triangle pieces, not the
rectangle one. Okay, after sewing that together, I snipped off this little
corner piece from outside of the seam, made sure not to cut through the
stitches, and then I turned the whole piece inside out through one of the
holes that's on either side. I used my scissors to really push out that corner
point and then I gave the whole thing a good iron to make it nice and crisp.
Finally, I sewed a line of straight stitches all the way across the top here,
on top of that seam line from joining the triangles to the rectangle from
before, to make a casing for the collar...
...Put the color through the top, and that's it!
I also made a second one out of this cute pastel pink fabric you'll see why
in just a moment...

So how do you like your new neckerchief, Ella? I think you look pretty dashing! Because
I am super extra, I may have made us matching neckerchiefs... this may be the
next video, because it's also a very good scrap fabric project! Now, this iconic duo
are going to bring you a message from the sponsor of today's video - who is,
Skillshare! Yeeeeah! ...Ella, don't lick yourself when we're just about to start the ad.
If you have been wanting to learn some new skills, whether it be in fashion and
design, or something like illustration, animation, film production, photography,
music production, crochet, knitting, learning how to do social media for
business, or like even the ins and outs of running your own business! Then Skillshare
is a great affordable place that you can learn how to do those things. I have
learned pretty much everything that I know about filmmaking, about sewing, about
running a business, about sound production, about design... everything I
have to do in running a youtube channel - I've learned a lot of that stuff from
the internet! What Skillshare does is it takes out the work of having to find
different sources from all over the internet - some which might not be so
reliable - then it brings all of the resources you need to learn a new skill
into the one place! For example, I've been wanting to learn a bit of animation
recently so I can add a bit of flair to my editing. SkillShare has a whole heap
of videos about animation, that when I have finished my Uni course for the
semester - because I'm way too busy at the moment - I'm really excited to go through
some of these Skillshare animation courses, 'coz from what I have watched
from the first preview videos, they look awesome. A really good thing about
Skillshare is that it is not expensive - in fact I even have
a link in the description box below that gives you the first two months for FREE,
that can be claimed by the first 500 people to click that link! And then after
those first two commitment-free months, a Premium Membership - which gives you
access to every single video on their site - is under ten dollars a month. So it
is much more affordable than enrolling in a course or a degree, and because it's
online you can do it from anywhere, you can do it from the comfort of your own
home, and you can do it at your own pace. So again, if you'd like to try it out
free for two months, obligation free, then I have a link in
the description box down below, on the top row there, just click on that and
you'll have access to all of their videos for two whole months! And you can
cancel anytime. So, if you have been thinking about learning a new skill, why
not give it a go! They have a lot more things to learn than just what I listed
before! So go and check it out.
Oh - she's gone so sleepy... have you gotten so sleepy,
during my ad read?!
I really hope you like this new series, I
am really excited about it - when I do a more simple video like this I will be
including a full tutorial, but in some of the scrap box videos I'm gonna be
following other people's tutorials as well, so it's kind of a little bit of a
new format and I'm excited to see how it works! I hope you're all having a lovely
day! I hope wherever you are is somewhere
near a dog - if you're not allergic to them - and I will see you all in my next
video! Bye!
