How to Turn a Tube of Fabric Right Side Out

Turning a tube of fabric (especially a skinny one) right side out can be a real pain - if you don't have the right tools. There are a few things out there - but I swear by my turning tubes. They're inexpensive and they work like magic. Really! Just watch!

Want to order a set? You can find them here.

Of course, tomorrow's pattern will have to be a snake. . .

  2. Hi, from Spain !!!
    What a great tool, it seems so easy to turn the tube right side out with it...! How can I get these tools? How much are they? Is the shipping expansive? maybe I can find it in Spain, do you know where?

    How many questions, I'm sorry!!!

  3. Hi Charo! It is a great tool - one I use all the time. I'm not sure about in Spain, but these are made by Dritz and are pretty easily available in most fabric stores here. There's a link in the post to an online shop, but the shipping with probably cost more than the tools. I wonder if you could make a set? It's really just a tube and a rounded stick. The link to buy has a good photo of all the pieces out of the package.

    Wow! What an awesome tool. I have used another tube turning tool. No matter how much I try, I can't get it to work. So I am super excited about this gadget. Thank you for sharing and for your great tutorial.
