How to make a Purt with HauteStew

Love the Purt! And the table shaking was just plain out fab! :)

I have noticed that so many online add pins to a project like he does in this video, vertically along the edge that is to be sewn. We were taught in school craft classes that we should always add the pins horisontally along the edge. That way you do not have to remove them as you're sewing, you can just sew on top of them. Technically you do run the risk of hitting one and breaking your needle, but I've been sewing for more than 35 years now and I have still not managed to break a needle. Just make sure that you do insert them at a perfect 90 degree angle, so they are straight. If you e.g. put it in at a 45 degree angle, the chance of hitting it would be way higher. Doing it this way is just so much easier, and it is much easier and quicker to remove them afterwards too, as your pin heads are sticking out along the edge... Just my NOK .50 worth... :)

I don't think I've ever laughed out loud 3 times during a tutorial. Loved it, Thanks Brooksie!

Looooove it! But I think I will leave the end of the tie uncut to hang, and box up the bottom hem. Hmmmmm...

"The table is shaking!" LMAO, LOVE this guy. Best tut I've seen in a whiiilleee.

I loved this project! Check out my video response http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-gCCLd3ik7A ! And my website lasgirl.blogspot.com Thanks Brooxie & threadbanger! :D

PURT is an awesomw name dude!

very very cute idea :]

This rocks! What a great way to re-use a favorite shirt that has seen better days. BTW I like Purt vs. Shirsh.

its neat i might have to try to make one of these

Emmm, suspect Brooksie, suspect! Either way savage idea! Greetings from Eire:)

"...ask your dad, ask your man, or get a real job"...lol....funny! This is such an awesome idea, how creative!

WOW, I'm gonna take a wild guess as to what Brooksie was doing before he made this video...

Rock on Brooksie!!!!

i call it a SHAG! ha :P

PURT!!! That sounds better

I love it Brooksie! The Purt is almost as cool as you are!

Thanks everybody!! I am truly inspired by all of your great comments!! More to come soon and there will be more at hautestew.etsy.com by the end of the week!!!

definitely purt.. shirse is just silly = Ϸ

Demanding HauteStew to come and do more tuts! Voting for PURT!

Nice tute! I love this kind of purses. (I prefer Purt, not Shirse ^_^) Perhaps you guys can place more tute's fot purses? P.S. Noooo! Rob, you shaved :'( You can not shave! You need to grow a "beard" again!

HAHAHAH...He freakin made me laught...LOL! yeah...I love the part where he says...."or...get a real job!" hee hee Purt? hee hee...sounds good... Great tut Mr. Brooksy....

Yeah, I totally enjoyed this viewer transmission. Not only was his project fun, he made it fun to watch too! Love it!

This is so freakin' awesome! I love you man! lol

I think Purt sounds like a swear word. Don't you think?

This made my week.

Purty Shirse. I'm going to have to go check out HauteStew on Etsy, methinks!

I love purt! I also vote this guy is awesome and should come on the show more frequently

This guy needs a regular feature. He is awesome.

I'd add a twist to this, I lovethe tie being there, so I think it might be nice it it just stayswithout being cut after sewing! Nice idea, though maybe the one handle only makes it a bit strange to carry? And Brooksie is totally entertaining! XD

I love the way he's talking about that just like he wouldnt give a shit, hahaha! Nice idea!

this is gorgoerous! genial! they will look so stupid when i come with this to school!

PURT :D

This is fantastic. And its true, that dude is a -manly- man. I vote 'Purt'.

"If you don't know how to tie your tie, ask your dad... or your man... or get a real job." That is fantastic! Great project. I think I am going to try this one out for my sister's birthday present. Thanks!

I love Purt too. I will be saying Purt all week... You could also use the remains for a cute matching credit card holder to put in the Purt.

I adore this episode. I think I'd call it a purt, "shurse" sounds like a vehicle you would use to ship dead people around.

I thought that it was pretty damn amazing. I cannot even sew, but I am going to try and make a "purt".

Lovin' the extream manly sewing! Props to Brookie for his "Purt" or whatever it's called.

Wow super cool. i want one XD

Brookie is the most manliest man I have seen sewing. Sooo cool. Who would've thought. LOL @ "If you don't know how to tie your tie, ask your Dad, or your man, or get a REAL job."

I love men who sew!!! if only they knew how that made women go gaga. :( i need a sewing buddy. :( in other news; i like a shurse. Purt sounds like pert, which reminds me of breasts, for some reason. :/ Also, i think i would like it better if the tie came down under the shirt. You could make it a cell phone case or something.

I love this episode so much. Hahaha his voice made my night. And I like Purt best, I think.

i like shurse :) i like that guy,he had a great project,he's funny you guy's should recruit him and ad him to the show XD

hey i put my thread spool sticker top things on my sewing machine as well o_O

Awesome. This has to be the best video quality of any viewer takeover I can remember. (Not knockin' anyone else, if I did one it would look just as grainy.) Thanks for sharing the Purt. It is truly a bitchin' piece.

I have to try this. I personally like purt better...but that's just me. I LOVE the re-construction zone tape in the background behind Rob. Thanks a trillion!

very cool! tnx brooksy! really liked your other works that you showed too.

Indeed really cooolie-o!

This guy's voice makes this episode so entertaining for me. And this is very creative. :) I dig it.

wtf is up with this episode ...like if u r goin to put a epsiode up then le ppl watch itt
