HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 1 авг 2024
- In today's video, I'm excited to share a special project close to my heart. I'm creating a beautiful sewing caddy designed by the wonderful Jennifer Clouston. This time, it's for a dear friend who is about to undergo surgery. I'll be showing you how to make little modifications to the original design to make it even more practical and personalised. To buy the pattern for the actual caddy, please contact Jennifer Clouston • Snippets of my stitchi...
In this video, you'll see:
✨ Gathering Materials: Choosing the perfect fabrics, felt, and embroidery supplies.
✨ Modifications: Making the caddy taller to hold a phone, creating embroidered felt needle holders, and adding Japanese-style cord covers in the shape of sakura flowers that double as pin cushions.
✨ Filling the Caddy: Adding all the little essentials my friend will need post-op, turning this caddy into a thoughtful and supportive gift.
Materials Needed:
* Main and contrasting fabric
* Felt for needle holders
* Embroidery thread
* Cord
* Sewing essentials (needle, thread, scissors, etc.)

Your friend should love it. Congrats on 100th Episode.

What a thoughtful gift for your friend!
Thank you Candice. I had extra time on my hands having had similar surgery so I knew what could be helpful invv be the first days of recovery. I really enjoyed spending my time making this gift for her. 😊
Thank you for your soothing and thoughtful company which is just what I needed. A beautiful gift for your friend and love your variations to the design. Cheers, Christine 💙🧵🪡
Thank you very much! I am so glad always for your kind company. How lovely you found the video soothing, that makes me happy. I see you have uploaded another instalment of your beautiful blue vessel. I am looking forward to watching it after I reply to all the gorgeous people like yourself who take time to comment. 😊
I am so excited to hear your thoughts about what to do for my 100th episode!
What a perfect video Leanne. You're a great storeyteller. I thought it was totally lovely. The sakura flowers are a great finishing touch to the loop ends. You made a wonderful present for your special friend...
Your Dad sounds just like my Granda was...always making something on his lathe...
Thank you so much Marion! As you know, I have been grappling with audio issues of my voice inaudible at times, so decided the best way forward is to voiceover what I want to say afterwards. I really enjoyed the process of making this video, even though it was weeks of sewing and editing! It is magical watching people work on a lathe, isn't it? How a beautiful piece emerges as that wood spins around!😊
Love this bag and a great tutorial! 😊
Thanks so much Vanessa! 😊
Lovely present for your friend. Congratulations on your upcoming 100th video. Best wishes Lyn
Thank you so much, Lyn! So lovely to have you here as part of the crafty cupboard community of beautiful people. 😊
Leanne,this gift is adorable!! It shows all the love and care for your friend! 100 videos!! Amazing! For your 100th you could tell us when you started sewing and embroidery, the very first thing you created etc😊thank you❤
Lovely ideas, thank you Giusi. You have been such a wonderful support to me as I share my creative journey here. I feel so lucky you found my videos. 😊
Well this was lovely to watch, I've had this pattern for many years but haven't used it yet, perhaps it's time haha Thank you Leanne for showing the little fobs as well, they are very sweet :)

Thank you very much, Jeanette! I might need a sewing caddy intervention because I have finished sewing another one for me that is just a bit larger and put a pocket on the front to hold my phone. I received two compliments on it when out shopping this week from women who thought it was a handbag! Well for me it is, except it is a handbag filled with useful stuff! 😂 I am so pleased you enjoyed the video. Thanks for watching and taking time to comment. 😊
Hi Leanne, such a beautiful gift for your friend, really enjoyed your video, thankyou 🌻🌷🪻
Thanks so much Sue, so kind of you to leave a lovely comment. 😊
Hi Leanne! The additions you made are so sweet! Love the little lazy daisies & tea cups! The sakura pin cushion loop closure is genius❤.
Hope all is well with you & family. Congratulations on the upcoming 100th episode! You are a maker of beautiful things
Take care, Leanne.

Oh thank you Tess! You are always so kind in your comments. I am going very well and I hope you are too. I have so enjoyed reading your comments and thank you for your lovely encouragement. 😊

Hi Leanne, I am sure that your friend will absolutely adore the pretty litttle sewing caddy. WoW 100th episode! My suggestion would be a sewing caddy give away lol I have really enjoyed watching your channel keep going your embroidery sewing and crochet is very inspirational for us. Thank You for sharing.
That sounds like a good idea! Thank you so much for your kind encouragement TracyLee. Comments like yours reassure me to keep making videos and I really appreciate it. 😊
What a wonderful gift. Maybe you could stitch a birthday cake for your anniversary
That is a great idea!! I like that thought very much! 😊
Beautiful
Thank you very much. So happy you have set up a retreat in Ballarat on dates that I can attend. Ever since I went there with my husband last year I have wanted to go back. I was also interested in Susanna's next one but the dates couldn't work for me. How indulgent to sit and stitch for days on end, with stitching buddies in the room and to be fed as well! I am saving my pocket money because the stores down there had such beautiful treasures! 😊
@@leannescraftycupboard it’s a dream… some of the ladies coming will love to meet you too as they follow your channel!
We will all have so much fun. Hurry up October!!!
Beautiful work Leanne , I enjoyed watching your video this morning, it was creative and calm your friend will love your gift I’m sure . I have made one also and plan on making another one day it’s on my forever growing list !
Have been thinking about your 100 th video and thought maybe you could have a look back to see which video has been the most watched and then maybe go into more details and depth on that tutorial. Shall keep thinking and if I do come up with a better idea shall let you know . Congratulations. 🥳
Thank you very much Joanne. I really like the idea of a bit of a retrospective. Good thinking! 😊
Leanne, I thought you like in Perth, but you’re not your in NSW. My dad did wood turning, I wish he made me one of those. I love this video. Congratulations on your up coming 100 episode..
Thank you very much Kristy! I find myself buying lots of small wood turned items now. I love people being creative and try to support others in their craft. At the last craft show I went to I bought a beautiful pin cushion in a wood turned bobbin ring. So lovely to hold.😊
What a lovely and thoughtful gift you've made. Congrats on your upcoming 100th video on YT! This is my first visit to your channel, so I'm excited to view the 99 others in the weeks ahead. I tried to locate the original pattern by searching your friend's name. Her website and other social media links no longer work, however.
Thank you very much and a warm welcome to you! In the video description box (below the video, click ‘more’) I have put a link to Jennifer’s video. ruclips.net/video/s-af3XmatQw/видео.htmlsi=HgPEReGlIhLoy6g_
In that video she talks about the pattern. In the video description box, she provides her email address so you can contact her directly to order the pattern and pay via PayPal. I hope you have a lovely time catching up on my past projects. 😊
Hi Leanne, loved this video, wondering where there is a tutorial for the Sakura pin cushion? If you could demonstrate this again please that would be a real treat. Happy stitching. 🧵🪡
Thank you so much for your kind comment. In the video description box, if you click on the word more, you can see the video chapters. I demonstrate the steps of making the Sakura pin cushion (Making Japanese-style loop ends) at 6:43. You can click on that time to jump straight to that part of the video. If you would like to see a longer demonstration, I make a pin cushion with 6 petals instead of 5 in my Episode 46. I hope it is useful for you and you enjoy making one for yourself. The difference with the episode 46 one is, it has a slit in the back of the circle because the backing would be stuck down. If you want it to hang on the cord end, you leave a gap in sewing the circle itself as I did in this video.😊
