I love the items on your make nine. I'd love to make them. The skirt you have chosen is beautiful. I have that pattern. I might get that made up. I love the tucks ❤.
So glad you like the video. I can't wait to wear my skirt some place special.🥰 Thanks for watching and commenting! 💕 Lisa
Did you make the shirt you are wearing too? If so, what is the pattern?
No, it’s a top from Garnet Hill. Thanks for watching! 💕 Lisa
Great ideas and probably my fav is the wave pocket one.
Glad you enjoyed the video! I think that tote was my favorite too! Happy sewing, 💕 Lisa
Good video!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching! 💕 Lisa
Lots of good options, my daughter will love the kitty pouch
Glad you liked them! Thanks for watching! 💕 Lisa
Thank you, I enjoy seeing the different patterns. So many ideas.
You are so welcome! Hope you enjoy making some of them! 🥰 Lisa
Well done!!! Sooooo very helpful, Thank you! Thank you!!! Spoonflower has been overwhelming to me. Now "I get it"!!!
Glad it was helpful! I really love their fabrics. They've added quite a few new fabric types since I did that video. I just looked at their website and they now have 30 different fabric types, plus wallpaper! The designers that I've messaged on there have been very helpful also, so don't be afraid to ask for a design in a smaller/bigger scale or to add some coordinating solid colors to go with one of their prints. They want to sell their designs, so they will most likely honor your requests! Thanks for watching & commenting! 🥰 Lisa
Your makes are very nice! The top really suits you! I’ve made the skirt pattern several times and it’s a TNT for me. Easy to make and wear. I have ITS Glenny top pattern and it’s very similar to that top pattern. I find the ITS patterns to be a good fit as I am petite. The square neckline looks lovely on you!
Oh thank you! I don't have that top pattern, but I did notice when I looked it up, she has special instructions for making a narrow shoulder adjustment for that top. I think those instructions will work for the Islares top too! Yes, I also think ITS is great for petites! Thanks for commenting, 🥰 Lisa
Love the fact you admit making mistakes as we all do. Thank You
Yes, thank goodness someone invented the seam ripper! LOL Thanks for watching and commenting! 💕 Lisa
The Islares Top looks great on you. I really need to make this one. I like the neckline.
Thanks so much! It is a cute top. Happy sewing, 🥰 Lisa
Are needles and pins allowed for the Operation Christmas Child?
Here's a link to what is allowed. They have a place where you can type in a word(s) to see if it's allowed. I typed in sewing needles and also sewing kits and it says they are both allowed. I know a lot of people include sewing kits. Thanks for asking! 🥰 Lisa www.samaritanspurse.org/operation-christmas-child/what-goes-in-my-shoebox-suggestions/
Great options, thank you!
Glad you like them! Thanks for watching!🥰 Lisa
I'm going to be a grandmother again, so I love that bib. We've never used binkies, but it is cute.
How exciting! I love making baby items. Happy sewing, 🥰 Lisa
Hi Lisa! I look forward to seeing these patterns you have! Thanks so much for stopping by my channel earlier this weekend!
You are so welcome! Hope you have a great week! 💕 Lisa
I would add some crinkle to the elephant ears!
Aw, that’s a cute idea!🥰 thanks for sharing! 💕 Lisa
❤❤❤
Thanks for watching! Have a great weekend! 🥰 Lisa
Lisa, thank you for sharing the links to some great gift ideas! I especially like the wave pocket tote and love your choice of colors and patterns… it’s lovely! You popped up on my home page today and I’m so glad you did… I subscribed!
I'm so glad you enjoyed the video. Thanks for watching and subscribing! 💕 Lisa
I really like the over sized hot pad ans pot holders. Like you said great gift to have on hand for any occasion. Thanks for all the tips. I have made the sunshine cross body and its great to keep in my large tote purse so i va just grab my wallet,phone and run in the store hands free. If i make it again i will leave out the front & inside zipper pockets.
Glad you like them! I hope to get my Sunshine bag made this year! 🙂 Happy Sewing, 💕 Lisa
On the dumpling pouch, I mark the middle of the zipper and the outer fabric. I match the marks and pin on the zipper that way. I also put a gusset in the ends to hold in my items. Sew Sweetness has this pattern free with written instructions and a video. That is the one I use. She also has lots of variations or hacks for this pattern. Thanks for sharing your makes and mistakes! We all have them!
Thanks for sharing! I like the idea of adding the gussets. I will check out her dumpling pouch! happy sewing, 💕 Lisa
First time here and this was great!!
Welcome to my channel! So glad you enjoyed it! Happy sewing, 💕 Lisa
I was not able to locate the pattern for the long pencil pouch in the directions. Can you post it?
Here's a link to the PDF: sewcanshe.com/s/Cute+Long+Pencil+Pouch+pattern+template.pdf Let me know if you have any problems with this link. Happy Sewing! 💕 Lisa
Thank you!
Thank you.
You're welcome! Thanks for watching! 💕 Lisa
Patterns that are created for woven and knits are drafted for the woven fabric as is. In order to use knits you have to understand negative ease. Therefore the neckline would be perfect for the woven fabric. There is no need to add a knit fabric in that area. When you used knits you should have considered the percentage of stretch and from there calculated the amount of negative ease you needed. You also need to understand how to sew and stabilize knits. The neckline and shoulder areas need to be stabilized. Be careful when buying patterns that claim they are for all types of fabrics. They will require a person to have textile knowledge. BTW I loved your how you color blocked the shirt. And although you don’t particularly like how if fits you (which matters more than anything), I think you rocked it. 😀. I really am happy to have found your channel. Keep up the great work.
Thanks for the advice. I do want to make that pattern in knit again. Happy sewing, 💕 Lisa
The false bottom can be made from the sturdy plastic mats from dollar tree and/or the plastic table mats from dollar tree as well. Cut them to size and cover with fabric. I have also used the cardboard boxes from the post office (free) and cut to size and cover with fabric.
Thanks for sharing! I like the table mat idea. It would be both stiff and waterproof.🥰 Happy sewing, 💕 Lisa
My grandnuggets are going to love some of these patterns. Thank you!
You are so welcome! Thanks for watching! 🥰 Lisa
The oversized hot pad looks like something no-body knew they wanted until they had one. I know I'd use it a lot!
I think they will make a much appreciated gift!😊 thanks for watching! 💕 Lisa
Great gift ideas! Thank you for taking the time to describe each one.
You are so welcome! Glad you enjoyed them!💕 Lisa
Thank you for the awesome suggestions. I think I will like the Dumpling bag because it opens up flat. I like that for my makeup. I really appreciate that you always choose many different projects to share bc we all have different likes and dislikes. Love your makes. I always look forward to your gift suggestions videos.
You are so welcome! Hope you enjoy making some of them! 💕 Lisa
I’m interested in the Drawstring Ditty Bag and the Convertible Backpack Totebag and the Drawstring Backpack. Thank you for researching all these patterns ❤
You are so welcome! Have fun sewing them up! ❤️ Lisa
This is such a helpful video. Thank you for sharing.
You are so welcome! So glad you enjoyed it Happy sewing, 💕 Lisa

You are so welcome! Thanks for watching and commenting! 💕 Lisa
I started making and selling counter top hot pads. I made some for my church out of necessity and immediately started getting orders! I think I have my new Christmas gift...
Thanks for commenting! Some of my family members will definitely be getting some of those hot pads for Christmas! 😊💕 Lisa
On your safety eyes after putting the back on use your lighter to heat up the spike and press it flat.
Okay, I’ll try that next time. Thanks for the tip! 😊💕
No problem! Thank you for your videos!!!
Excellent idea!
Thank you for sharing your craft ideas . Can you please leave the item you're reviewing on the screen. Thank you!🎉
Yes, I’ll try to leave them up longer. Thanks for watching! 💕
Great patterns. I'm excited to make the oslo craft bag and the hot pads❤

Great beach bag, loved the Hobby Lobby print with piping!
Me too, I think I'm going to keep that one! Thanks for watching and commenting! 💕 Lisa
this is such a sweet idea❤my guess is the kids will feel your love every time they wear or use them, and i wouldn't be surprised at all if they treasure these things for years to come, long after they have outgrown them. bless you~✨
Thanks so much for. your kind comments! So glad you enjoyed the video! Happy sewing, 💕 Lisa
Very nice video. May I make a suggestion? I have my volume all the way up and I am not hard of hearing but I am having a difficult time hearing you. Maybe your microphone is too far away?? Thank you for your kind and giving heart.
Sorry to hear about the volume problem. I've listened to my videos on multiple devices and haven't had any problems hearing them. Do you use your phone, computer, TV? My microphone is only about two feet from me, but I did go into my settings and bump up the volume a couple of clicks. Maybe that will help. 😀 Thanks for watching! 💕 Lisa
Use closed captions to help follow. Accents, tone of voice issues won't always be resolved by upping volume I learned as a nurse and now hearing impaired even with aids some speakers I Fi d hard to follow. I use Closed Caption . CC icon on videos that have it. This lady has it available for her videos. For Presenter I hoped to say this off screen but couldn't. Reading on screen hand written notes is hard on you and us, Write out your notes then Type them in BOLD and in font size large enough for you can read at a glance. Prefer to read hand written notes for videos? Write with bold black marker pen, space out your writing so you leave blank lines between each written line so it's easier to read from a distance. Try it out, test run video to see if you find it easier and you are not bending over notes pausing to do so. Prop your notes on a book stand/ cushion or use scanned images on a Tablet or out of view computer screen to read them closer to eye level. There are tablet/ book stands you can make/ cover so make that another project that once done is kept on screen in future videos as something viewers can see and consider doing themselves. No offence meant, simply suggestions to make it easier for you and to keep you connected to viewers. Thanks for all the time you take off camera as well as on it.
@@suzannenewton6565 thank you will try CC
Love the Wave tote. I plan on making a few. Thank you!
So glad you liked it! Hope you enjoy making some for gifts! 💕 Lisa
You could also use batting between the quilter’s cotton on the Kim Clutch and quilt it. They could be used as a case for their glasses that way and it would give it structure for general use. To secure the ends of the cording on your drawstring bag you can use a lighter to melt the ends, as long as it is synthetic and not cotton. Cotton will burn, but synthetics will just melt. That way you don’t need to use tape.
Thanks for your helpful comments! I am going to try burning my cord ends.🙂 Happy sewing, 💕 Lisa
