When I was a little girl, my mom made Barbie clothes for mine and my sister's dolls. We had wedding dresses, coats, dresses, etc. They were beautiful, and she took so much time with them. We didn't have much, but I had a great childhood, because my mother made it special.
Same😊
What a wonderful memory for you! 😊
My aunt made Barbie and doll clothes for me. 🤗
Mom did too
My great grama made barbie clithes for me .she Croched them . They were beautiful.
I hope many people comment to thank John for his part in today’s video! So cute that he took the time to film it, let him know his efforts were appreciated! It showed a neat little glimpse into a dynamic of your relationship.
Thank you John!! Hide your boards...lol!
My sister was 16 yrs older than I and when I turned 7 she gave me a Ginny doll with a full wardrobe she had made. Several of the fabrics were scraps from maternity tops she had made when carrying her 1st baby ( born 4 mos after my 7th Bday). Sweet fabrics. Tiny little collars and waistbands and pockets. Even a tutu with seed pearl trim from her wedding gown which she had made. I still have all of the clothes and the doll. I'm 76. Ginny is 69 lol.
What a great memory :)
❤
I am 77 and when I was 9 my parents bought me a Ginny doll for Christmas! She came with 4 outfits! I put her and her outfits in a shadow box. Now one of daughters has inherited it! Hugs from Michigan! ❤
What a great story, I hope you have a little girl in your life you can bless with these when you’re ready.
Mary, you are right, sewing during the winter months is my favorite past time. My Mom and I have been sewing since October. We made Pjs for all of the grandchildren and great grandchildren for Christmas. Since Christmas we have been making a quilt for my baby brother and his wife. This makes the third quilt we have made together in three years. So much fun sitting with my Mom and sewing and she tell she me stories of her childhood which I love. My Mom was 99 this past December. She taught me to sew when I was 9 years old and I have made everything from baby clothes to ceiling to floor silk drapes. I love you cat window seat. I wondered why you were putting a steel plate on the board. Genius. Ann from Va.
I hope your are either writing down or recording these stories. I have decided to do that with the stories my Mom is telling me, she just turned 85 and I all of a sudden realized if I DON'T do that, all of this family history will be lost.
@@laurancurtis5669 My goodness Lauren, I thought I was the only person who spends the whee hours of the morning awake and on the IPad. Mom and I have been writing down these stories for years. I compiled most of them several years ago on the computer and copied them into a journal. I made a cover and titled it “ Through the Years”. My Mom also writes poem and I included all of them in this journal. It has been a long time since she has written any things but I so enjoy reading them and her stories every chance I can. I have copied this journal for several members of the family. Ann from Va.
When our cats sit looking out of the window, we call that the "bird channel." 😊
That's cute!
Nothing like hearing a nice sharp scissor cutting through fabric.
I have a friend who's 85 years old who is amazing at making drapes, bedspreads, shower curtains, and just all kinds of things for people. It's amazing what she can do, and it's all beautiful.
That's great, over she been sewing since youth because I do. I sell what I make, give as gifts and sew hats, scarves for church and homeless shelters.
So wonderful that your husband thinks ahead of what you might need, but knowing that he has to have a reserve to suit what your project needs. 😊
Your home is lovely.
I love your relaxed way of sewing.
Thank you for doing your videos and it is lovely seeing your husband and his workshop.
Sewing is a lost art. My mom taught me to sew when I was a young girl and I made costumes. I eventually went to school for Interior design and later learned to make custom window treatments, bed coverings, pillows, table runners, and other items. Thanks for your inspiration today. I’m gonna find a sewing project now.
I wish my mom had taught me. I learned some and can make some clothes but def not all.
You are never too late to learn. Start simple. Videos, new cheap sewing machine, scarf, tablecloth, headband, bandana, even a pocket square. Spent some time at the fabric.
My Mom and I sewed many things that
Sorry that went before I was finished
Hi Mary! Great video. Just a tip, the reason your hot pad binding had pleats is because you cut it on the straight of grain. If you cut your strips at a 45 degree angle on the bias it will have a lot give and conform to the rounded edges and that won’t happen. ❤
To say you are creative Mary is an under statement !!! So love watching your videos as they are so peaceful. You and John are such a sweet couple . Thank you for showing the beautiful birds, I think they are God's little gifts to us. We feed them too and with a covering of snow the cardinals especially look so beautiful !! Hope you and your family have a very nice week. Love the case you made for your glasses !!!
I really like how you take a “terrifying” skirt pattern and make it not so terrifying. I worked in different sewing factories from age 15 to age 37. God blessed me with a beautiful little girl at age 37. At age 39 went to technical college, along with 3 part-time jobs. Did this for 3 1/2 years and graduated. Stayed home for a couple years and then went back to work as a overnight customer service representative. Stayed there until April 2011 and had heart attack. Went back to work at public library, significant pay decrease and no benefits, but was at home with daughter. Worked there until April 28, 2011. Had 1st open heart surgery on May 3, 2011. No work. Had 2nd open heart June 28, 2013. Was up walking halls with a walker that same day! ❤❤❤🎉🎉
I have taken up sewing again. I learned as a young girl from my mother. This year I made pillows with the word "friendship" for my girlfriends and "family" for my two sisters. I'm so grateful for the ability to do this. I like the idea of the table runner. I have a square table that is impossible to buy a runner that really looks right.
John did a fine job - thank him for giving us a chuckle about hiding nice boards from you!
I love to sew. Been sewing since 9, I’m 70 now Thank you for the inspiration.
Beautiful sewing projects. Love the nice spring fabric that you used. Thanks for sharing the bird feeder with us so we could see all the wonderful birds. So glad the cats like their new place to lay.
This brings back memories. We didn’t have much money when we were little. Womens lib hadn’t really occurred so mum was at home. She snagged some small gingham fabric in a bin, one pink one light green. She bought a pattern for Barbie sized outfits and got busy. She had an old Singer treadle machine with the bullet shaped bobbin. She made dresses, head scarves, pants, pop tops, shorts. All in the gingham so you could mix and match. It was fiddly work and she did it after we were in bed. It was fabulous. I still have that machine and the cabinet it folds down into with the iron fretwork legs.
What a treasure!
So nice to see your husband in the video. We don't get to see much of him. You both do such great work.
I’ve been sewing my entire life and I never knew the corner trick when making a table runner. Game changer! Thank you so much for sharing!
Hiding boards from Mary! Too funny ❤
Both my grandmother & my sewed, but I never learned. So, even though I've sewn simple baby quilts for many years, I'd never ventured out beyond that. I'm turning 65 in a few months & decided last year to teach myself to sew. There are a few lovely ladies like yourself on RUclips who share easy sewing projects explaining each step to make it easier for beginning sewists. I haven't ventured out beyond pillow covers, table runners, card wallets, curtains & such as of yet, but there are so many simple things you can make that honestly looks store bought for a fraction of the cost. Thank you for sharing. ❤
I’ve been appreciating your videos on RUclips seems like for years now, keep up the good work. They come on every Wednesday morning and I look forward to them. It was very nice to hear John speak today.❤
Lovely projects as always! Adorable hubby and cats segments too.
Wow! You have beautiful birds at your feeder!
My first time watching, and fell in love with your video! I love birds as well and was so special seeing them on your video. I’ve been sewing for many, many years and still learned something from you! I think you’re a special young lady, and God Bless You! I’ll be watching again! 🥰
As usual, I always enjoy your videos! You’re so talented and I love your many skills!
Not many husbands can say they have to hide wood from their wives!😂 😂😂
I thought that was so cute! Especially as he said he hid the boards in order to have them on hand for projects for her. That's true love right there, LOL.
@@Jaemou I know! I had to smile and I showed that part to My husband!
Mary, beautiful. Items as always. Such God given talent. TFS.
Also great to see your hubby helping out with his carpentry skills. So great.😊
Quilter here- if you want to make another pot holder, look up binding a quilt on RUclips. I find Jordan Fabrics to be the easiest to understand. It’s not difficult to do. Thanks for doing a video on sewing ❤. It’s my favorite hobby and I’m always looking for fun and easy projects.
Mary, I love the way you keep things so simple. I know I will be trying that basket liner method. Your husband hiding the nice boards and you saying he needs a new hiding place gave me a good laugh. Thank you so much for your calm and gentle spirit, and for sharing your ideas so freely.
Hi Mary, I grew up sewing and very much enjoyed all the projects you made in this video. Your instructions are spot on and you've inspired me to pull out the sewing machine and make things!! YOur husband, John, is wonderful for helping and supporting you.
Two more months of winter and we can ease into spring. I"m in the suburbs of Chicago where we have had much snow and freezing temps since the second week of January. It has eased up a bit and the snow is melting. Yeah!! Have a blessed week. 😄😄
I love your sewing videos Mary! And I especially love hearing about your childhood. I’ve been sewing since I was 9, when I was in 4-H. I learned to sew my own clothes,and I now sew for 3 generations. My favorite thing is to sew doll clothes for my grandchildren!
I especially loved watching the birds at your feeder! We don’t have red cardinals where I live, so seeing them was a real treat.
So amused at John “hiding” your pine boards! 😊 Keep the videos coming; you are such an inspiration!
I remember making my 4-H apron! First project. Still have it somewhere!
Sewing has become sort of a lost art. I am beginning to see people around me wanting to learn how to sew now, asking for teachers etc. It is so refreshing to see the renewed interest in it!
Your husband did a great job! Tell him to do more! We’re not scary!
John did an amazing job filming! Love seeing you both on camera!❤
Thanks Mary loved all of your sewing projects. I have been going to Zinks for many years. I was just in your area mid january for my birthday. I went into the Zinks and told them that it was my birthday and they gave me a discount. Thought that was so nice of them. I also mentioned your name and they said, yes they knew you and you were a very nice lady.
I want to make a table runner with some beautiful fabric I have had forever!!! ❤
I used to sew all the time and still love looking at fabrics. Zinck’s is a fabric paradise! It was such fun to see John at work in your video! And he gave away his secret!!
Hallo Mary ich liebe deine Videos. So tolle Ideen. Das Katzen Fenster Bett baue ich für unsere Katzen nach. Viele liebe Grüße aus Deutschland.
Melanie 🙋
How lovely that your husband made his own video... nice to hear his voice
Another wonderful video! Loved all your projects! Really enjoyed watching the beautiful birds too 😊
You are the best Cat Mom. Such a sweet human you are.
Hubby is hilarious! We hide our tools from each other here. 😂 Thank you for posting a sewing video. I’ve wanted to add sewing to my painting videos and was hesitant to. You’ve inspired me to do that and to see if sewing will sell in my booth!
I love pressing the seams before sewing! So much easier than pinning! I’m doing this from now on! 👍
Love pic of one of your cats sleeping on your new window ledge with pillow!! 😻
Cardinals just outside the window…incredibly wonderful!
I love everything you have sewn. You make me want to dive and sew. I’m in a nursing home, I don’t think they allow sewing machines, though I do have it with me. But I can watch you and imagine. Thank your husband for helping out. He’s funny. Take care
I am always amazed at the magic of turning out a mitered corner.
I actually laughed out loud when John admitted he hid boards from you!!! 😂 You do everything perfectly and I can see your hubby does too. Love watching you.
Way to go John!…we like hearing from family membs too!😄
I love the fabric with the dragon flys. The red birds are so cute. I enjoy your Videos so much in my Lunch break ❤😊 Greetings from Germany
I really enjoyed these simple sewing ideas. Thank you Mary.
I just happened upon your channel, and am subscribed. I am a novice sewer, but getting better each time I sew. I love the simplicity of your instructions and the projects that you made in this video. I will go back to your previous videos to learn more. I loved seeing the birds out the window in the feeder, and your sweet cats too. Look forward to learning more from your videos 🦋
Tons of videos on how to make bias binding and mitering the corners. I never have the issues you had here with your hot pad. I don’t make videos or I would show you 😉. Your projects are perfect for anyone’s beginner projects! ❤
Thank you so much for your easy simple demonstrations of practical applications for sewing. So great and easy to follow along. I love all your sewing projects because they are practical ideas for everyday applications that will be used time and again in the home. Exactly what sewing was originally about. Thank you❤😊
You make such beautiful things, you are a very clever lady, with a great imagination.
Your cats will really enjoy the birds outside. The bed looks very comfy. Really like the drawstring bag. Very nice video. Thank you
Those mitered corners are an A+!
This video is so reminiscent of my mom. She was always sewing. Either doing alterations for people , making our doll and Barbie clothes, our clothes and then even my wedding dress. I’m so sad that I didn’t have the passion for sewing back then. She gifted me a sewing machine for my bridal shower and I was only ever able to make the very basics. Now I struggle with that machine not knowing how to adjust tension, the bobbin settings etc. I want to look for sewing classes near me or just start watching on RUclips. Thanks for sharing Mary!💕
You can do this! I've got faith in you-best wishes from a Mom/Grandmother in Louisiana
@@LaLadybug2011 Thank you!💕
Your cats are so sweet!
I think they approve of their new window bed! 🤗
I love these sewing projects.
I like your skirt. A sewing machine is on my gift list.😊
Thank you so much I really really enjoyed watching you create all those amazing and inspiring projects. I loved 🥰 seeing the birds feeding and the platform for your cats was a brilliant idea. I brought something similar for when I had my cat, and he loved it too. Please stay safe and well too xxxx Mags ❤❤❤❤
Really find watching you do things relaxing thank you
Loved these projects. The birds were a special touch.❤
Very very beautiful items you have made.wonderful prints and texture of fabrics.half done is due to fabrics❤❤
I love all the projects, especially the skirt. Love all you videos.
The cat bed came out great.
The CAT BED was so clever! Sweet for the cats.
We always enjoy your videos ❤️ Have A Great & Blessed Day 🙏👍😊
Great job! Loved all the projects, and the birds.
So many beautiful projects. ❤
My mom gave me a tiny suitcase filled with Barbie clothes she'd made, and my friends and I had endless hours playing with the dolls and clothes. I had one Barbie and one Midge, and my best friend had Skipper and Ken. Perfect for an afternoon of imaginary fun. I eventually got the Barbie convertible but didn't like that the doors wouldn't open. :) Flash forward to present day, and I have a black cat who loves to sit in any window, so I love the seat you made for your kitties. All your projects are pretty and useful. I enjoy your channel.
I enjoyed watching you sew..I have always loved to sew..I too am blessed to have a serger n 2 or 3 regular sewing machines..so easy to set up, with all the colors of thread I'm using n not have to stop n wind a bobbin, and re-thread ur machine...lol..I bet you was happy to hear ur husband talking n explaining what he was going to be doing..I'm so proud of my husband, when he makes things for me too..everything is beautiful..thanks for sharing with all of us..
So refreshing watching you.I have not sown in years!! Love your skirt!!
Put a spindle leg on the cat platform for a bit of stability. What a cute idea.
Great video, Mary! I get in the mood to sew about once a year…this time of year! I am making American Girl doll bedding for a bed from IKEA for an American Girl doll that I am gifting to my youngest granddaughter for her 9th birthday next month. The doll was my daughter’s, and she is at the AG doll hospital being refurbished…I am having such a good time with this project! Sewing is such a satisfying hobby (most of the time)! I just love fabric and have so much that I’ve purchased through the years for various projects…some of which I have actually gotten finished! I’ve been sewing since I was about 8 years old…not often, but enough to remember how to do certain projects! TY for sharing! Cindi (from WV) 😊
I always enjoy your videos. Thank you Mary!
Love everything! Especially the cat perch!
My gosh, you have inspired me to dive I to my fabric scrap stash. Thank you for sharing. I’m so glad I found you. 🥰
Makes me want to get my machine out and make some Spring things.
I may be dating myself here but a drawstring bag was the first project I made in home ec back when they taught sewing. I admit I didn't take sewing class as seriously as I should have. That is one regret I have. Luckily, I was raised by my phenomenal grandparents who taught me all of the wonderful things I know and now hold dear. I do know how to sew but it has been so very long ago since I had access to a sewing machine. It is definitely on my wish list. I found a Singer while thrifting for $14 and I'm still having nightmares about not buying it. Even if it didn't work I wouldn't have been out much. I wish I would've taken the chance. My grandma also made doll clothes for me. My Barbie doll even had a faux mink coat that she made. It saddens me when I think about the skills I was taught as a young lady compared to what so many younger people learn or don't learn now. Important skills like knowing how to sew could be completely lost in the next generation very easily. I love your videos and really look forward to them. I've learned so much from you. Thank you. I am extremely grateful.
Good job John……now we expect more from you 😉😀🙃 . Great video.
I loved all of the projects Mary! I like that these are projects you can do in a smallnpocket of time. Toile is my favorite 😊.
One year for Christmas I bought my daughter 3 of the the larger size strawberry shortcake dolls lemon, peach and strawberry!! I made her outfits , in solid teal, yellow and pink colors and each of those same colors in gingham check. I made blankets, and all kinds of clothing, everything in I made I made in both fabrics for each doll. Bought a mini baby crib that fit all 3 dolls. My daughter is 49 and guess which dolls she saved for her daughter if she had any!! She had 3 boys so 2 boys are married and maybe a little granddaughter will get to enjoy them! I’m thinking she probably remembers that Christmas above all others!!
Hey sis. Thank you so much for your down to earth videos! I am starting a large renovation project for my medically fragile daughters room I am learning so much. The one thing I. Can do is sew. But the inspiration comes from just doing it.
This is a really fun video 🤗 I love sewing and my mother was the best. Your cats are adorable. Have a blessed day.
🎉very awesome videos, thanks John for all your awesome filming ❤
Hello from Georgia. Really enjoyed your sewing projects, esp the cat project (adorable cats). Thank you for sharing; stay warm.
The cat bed is terrific! You could patent them, too. Everything you make is pretty. Thank you.
Hi Mary...I'm enjoying your video on sewing but I have to say I am enjoying the birds in the background ...they are just so vibrant in color, they are truly beautiful, what a view you have!!!. Sandy from N.S. Canada
I know I am not the only one who would love a video on The love story of Mary and John! ❤❤😊
Im loving this video, i have a sewing machine my husband bought me during covid, i made masks and altered curtains, ( ive never been a sewer) even though i do many crafts, but obviously like most of us, covid came 😢and I decided its something i should be doing. Needless to say ive not used it since, but im in the process of decorating and buying organising storage for my craftroom as ive lost my mojo ,so watching your videos mary and john 😊 is giving me so much inspiration. Thank you so much for sharing your amazing talents. ❤😊
Love the fabrics that you have picked out, very lovely! The items you have made are fantastic. I need to sit with you one day to enhance my sewing abilities!
Just love the kitty beds. They are so blessed to have you. Well done John! Thank you for sharing these lovely projects Mary.
First time on your channel. I must say: I really enjoyed watching all the diys. And also loved seen all those beautiful birds outside your house.
Perfect winter inspiration! I'm going to sew some new spring pillow covers for our bed.
I'm a quilter, so this was a fun one to watch!!!! You always look so nice in all your skirts!
Mary, sweet girl...have that adorable husband of yours wall off a portion of his wonderful workshop for you a sewing room! I've had one for the last 30+ years and it's a life changer...a designated space for sewing, projects, wrapping, etc. is so inspirational and save so much time setting up each time you want to make something!
Anyone who can sew n make their own clothes is truly blessed. Every time I try to sew on my machine my seams are always crooked. I even tried putting tape down on the machine n I still do it. I think I’m not meant to sew LOL. That was a great idea making a cat seat for your fur babies. They just love to sit n look out the window don’t they?
Your basket insert cover turn out like you bought at the store but even better. I loved all the great ideas n all the material was so pretty n spring like. I really liked the eye glass carrier. I wish you could put them in your Etsy shop. I know many women would love it too. I don’t like the hard covers either. They’re so big n take too much room in your purse. The one you made is perfect. I hope you’ll reconsider of maybe doing that. Please!
❤♥️♥️😊👍👍👍🌟
