You started holding up baby dolls and I realized I recognized your ballerina dolls from when I was looking for face embroidery references for the doll I knit for my own kid this year
I adore your channel. Fellow military family too. I appreciate your family and the service to our nation. Subscribed. Newbie to sewing and knitting, but enjoy making greeting cards
I love all you ideas. My best friend made a bean bag chair without filling and put a zipper on it and the kids filled it with their stuffed animal. Just and idea. Keep up the great work. 😊
Thank you, fun to watch. I made a magnetic fishing game for my grandson last year for Christmas and already made a magnetic fishing game for my granddaughter this year for Christmas, fishing rods and magnetic worm to catch the fish. I also made a big fish sack to store all fish in. I too made my grandson a Super cape, appliqued letter S on it too, for Super Sam. I also made little doll dresses and 18 inch doll clothes. I have made 3 rag quilts for all 3 of my grandchildren. They are fun and quick to make too.
I love your channel. Just want to chime in! this Christmas I have made 5 pillow cases. yes, its my #1 gift. also made a 3 yard quilt. because of your videos I played around and made a wonky wall hanging. 2 houses, sun, short tree and tall tree. plan to quilt it this weekend! They are very addictive. Keep your videos coming!
I used to make these little felt tote bags that had a monster face on the front that featured a bunch of skinny pockets that when you filled them with crayons they would look like teeth. I’d always give them with a box of crayons and a coloring book. That was always my favorite little kid gift to give.
i wonder if you could design and sew a noise reducing headband. i have autism and extreme noise sensitivity but earplugs make my ears hurt after wearing them for a while and headphones are sort of embarrassing. i’m sure if you figure out a design and sell it or the pattern it would help so many people!
Have you tried wax earplugs? I am a musician and often use the foam ear pieces which are like ear plugs, and i am also a light sleeper, and my husband snores sometimes, so I need earplugs… when I finally discovered wax earplugs, it was a game changer. I can actually sleep with them and they don’t injure my ear. And they seal the sound. The only drawback is, I can hear myself breathing. But sometimes that acts as a sort of white noise. Maybe you’ve tried them, but I thought I’d recommend in case you haven’t.
@@Infiniteuponinfinite I have tried them and I use them when I need something waterproof but they don’t work great for me. But thanks for trying to help!
Fun video! Thank you for the great ideas. I try to sew something for most of the 27 grandkids for Christmas - at least the 12 and under ages. This year I plan to make your book sleeves for the older kids - maybe out of denim with some appropriate appliqués. But if I run short on time they might get pillow cases. Most years the very little ones get quilts - small ones they can drag around the house. It seems all ages over toddler love pillowcases. My adult son requested one when he saw I made one for his stepdaughter. 😂 I also do book pillows, or purses or bags. Parents appreciate the pillow cases as a useful gift that is anti-clutter. A big YES from me for a farm animal set - pattern please! And if my DIL is still drinking from mason jars (not moonshine haha) she is getting your jar cozie!
I made a Dorothy dress ( from Wizard of Oz) for a friends 3 year, quite a while ago and it was long and a bit big but she and then her sister wore it for fancy dress, book days and all sorts until the youngest one couldn’t squeeze into it any more. They loved it so much and it gave me so much joy seeing them in it year after year. ❤
I made my oldest Granddaughter an Elsa dress, it was so hard to make, slippery and thin shiny fabric. I was pulling my hair out! But she and her 3 sisters have worn it! It absolutely makes my heart so happy to see how worn it is on granddaughter number 4! It has always been a favorite of the girls.
I love sewing gifts for Christmas. It brings a lot of joy and the creativity aspect is endless. Last year I made chicken grocery bag holders for several family members. This year I made book pillows for my neices and nephews. I also made crochet/knitting project bags with dowel handles. They turned out amazing. The one gift I always recommend as a no fail is rice warmers. You can make them in different shapes and sizes and they make wonderful gifts.
When my kids were really little i made them homemade sleeping bag and ones for their stuffed animals. Also chef's hats and aprons were really fun to make. Love all the ideas! Thank you!
Another thing I’m making for pressies are mug rugs. They are small quilts about 9”x6” roughly and I appliqué a Christmas picture or something similar and then just quilt and bind them. People seem to like them especially if they are gifted with some nice biscuits! Probably more for older children or adults but could always put name on for younger children. ❤
One of my favorite dress-ups I made for my oldest daughter was a zip up hoodie that I added dino spikes down the back, and eyes on top, then a separate tail that velcroed on her waste. That girl is now 14, and we regifted to a friend years ago, but I now finally have a boy! So making it again for him for Christmas this year. Also, hoping to make little holistic doctor kit for my preschooler.
Love these!! Thank you! Our family now has little ones again, so I’m excited to sew for them.:)! Going to look up your doll patterns and little sleeping bag - adorable!! With the purse of course!! Thanks again!🎄
I've made your sensory cube, book sleeves and a few others. Definitely going to make a few for Christmas gifts. Thanks so much for your wonderful tutorials and videos!
New subbie here! Chiming in! One Christmas I made pillowcases for everyone on my hubby[s side of the family! There is nothing better than homemade pillowcases! They last longer than store bought and you can personalize them with fabric selection and embroidery, like you said. I'm glad I found you and look forward to watching your tutorials! 💜💜💜
I am a stay at home mother who has been sewing for a number of years. I just saw your channel and am now subscribed. Thank you for all of the ideas and patterns.
Lovely, do-able gift ideas, thank you, it's made me think about getting busy for next year's birthdays, adapt the sleeping bag for the dolls buggy. . The dressing up dolls are good for little hands. But the grandma doll? I don't look anything like that, I don't think my granddaughter would recognise that it was supposed to represent me!
I made a quilt for my grandson using fun, colorful fabrics and he absolutely loves it. He takes it on any and all overnights, vacations, etc. I made it in the style of an old-fashioned summer quilt with just the quilt top and then backed it with flannel, so no batting. Makes it a little lighter weight for our hot climate in NC. That was several years ago and he’s now going on 10. Almost finished with another new quilt for him and he helped me pick out the fabrics this time. Thank you for your videos!
Thanks for all the hand made gift ideas for different age children. I think the book pillows for young readers and quillows - quilts that fold into pillows 6- teens, could fit on your list.
I used to make fun pj pants and always had some goofy fabric. The trouble was I never feel “Christmasy” until about Dec. 20th. Most years that meant staying up all night the night before Christmas Eve. This particular year I had come across sponge Bob fabric. Not only that but the background was blaze orang in a sort of splotchy faux animal print. I had finished and wrapped all the girl pjs, but with grandsons and sons-in-law I had 13 more pairs to make. At first I was laughing. Thinking about the sons-in-law asking who the heck is sponge Bob? And then seeing them all decked out in this hideous florescent colour In the end the joke was on me. By the time I finished I felt like my eyeballs were going to pop right out of my head or maybe they were going to bleed but in orange!
@@PinCutSew yes it was one of those christmases that gets called up every year or so talking about those ugly orange pj pants. My one step grandson said “Yeah but one time I wore mine to school” He was in highschool! He said “all my buddies asked where I got them. They thought the were sick” I’ve come to believe that sick is good to teens now.
@@conniemurdoch8528 Yep, did 16 pj bottoms for my kids and their kids, but I ordered long sleeve t-shirts for tops. That was enough for me! I try to hang out is Hobby Lobby in June to get in the mood earlier than December, but it still doesn't work. :-( Now that my family has grown, I wouldn't even consider it!
Great video. That quilt behind you with the house on it is really cute. I make quilts for people. Another idea for a boy is a fabric match game. Squares of fabric with identical motifs or shapes on them sewn into squares for a matching game.
For babies/toddlers I used to sew puzzle balls. I don’t remember where I got the pattern but if you do a search for “fabric puzzle ball” you’ll find a bunch. They aren’t the most beginner friendly project because it involves sewing lots of curves. For kids that are a little older, they like a crayon/colored pencil/marker roll (same kind of pattern as a knitting needle roll) and if you make it out of thicker wool felt it’s pretty easy/quick to make. They go well with sketch pads as a gift.
When i was young, I was told that the quilts, are sewn together front and back. If they are tied with yarns, they are called comforters. 😊 either way, our excess blankets were stored in a room without heat, and if we were ill with a fever, and Mom threw a cool one over us, it felt so good!
Yes I made 11 pillowcases last year for my grandkids. Two were for college and I appliqued their mascot. Others were school mascots and two are grown and working. Fun. The year before I made everyone a black and red buffalo plaid fleece hat. 24 in all. So much fun.
Adult or child-sized aprons, reading pillows that have a pocket to put a few favorite books in, baby flannel receiving blankets, small doll quilts, and Christmas stocking are a few gift items I have had fun making. ks in and are nice for travel, baby flannel receiving blankets, and Christmas stockings are a few gift items I have enjoyed making.
I make the taggy blankets. I think that was the first video of yours I watched and then immediately subscribed. I love it that you replied to my comment and that sometimes we exchange ideas. I don’t know what they are called but I make this rectangular fabric thing that I put a web (lattice?) of elastic on both sides of. Pretty tightly woven over and under. I slide a piece of cardboard or a DT cutting mat cut to fit in one of shorter ends. Older kids, pre-teens, teens, co-workers, new moms, etc love it. You can slide whatever smaller odds and ends type of thing in the elastic and it stays there. Makeup. Charging cables and cubes. I- pencils. Small things of hand sanitizer, lotions, diaper creams. A not so small deodorant along with a toothbrush and toothpaste and the bag of braces tiny bands. Hair stuff. Endless things that people use them for. People often ask me if I will make one for their friend if a friend’s cousin. Anyway I’m sure you get the idea. I am sure someone bought one from an actual store at one time but I have only seen them diy’d. I first saw it at a craft fair 25 or more years ago. I immediately loved it and then wouldn’t buy it because it was $30.
Another brilliant video, thank you! You can make the bean bag cover with a zip and stuff it with soft toys which they don’t play with anymore but can’t get rid of either. Deb x 🤗
I enjoy your videos so much. You have the best ideas. I’m not an avid “sewing person”, but you make your projects easy to t follow and try. Even if I can’t make it, it so interesting listening to you. Than you.
Yes we have build a bear in Canada. Love love love these ideas. I want to make most of them only haven't been sewing much for a long time but trying again. I am a great gramma and expecting a wee baby girl on Dec 5. Such fun love your show. Hugs Nola
Thanks for all of you videos, they are awesome. I am making tic tac toe games for some of my grands this year. It is something quiet to do in Church. Also, still waiting on wonky Christmas trees. 😂😂😂
@@karenneiman856 no I’m sorry. Nikki could prob make one. I just looked on Pinterest & kind of went my that. It had a little bag that had the lines sewn on it.
Such great suggestions! I am making quite a few of your patterns for gifts this year (a few for me as well). I am making a little tote bag for my friend and going to fill it with some goodies including a coffee sleeve. Thanks for the suggestions and great tutorials!
Thankyou for your great ideas. I was having a terrible time thinking of teenage gifts so the aprons are so fabulous. I watch your videos here in Australia and I just wanted to let you know how far your videos are giving inspiration and enjoyment. Merry Christmas 🥰 Annette 🤶
I made my kids throw pillows for car, using hand towels. I used ribbon to put their names on them. Sew 3 edges with wrong sides together. Stuff and sew other end shut. I still have one of them in the car for traveling. Probably 45 years old now.
I love love love these ideas. Do you have any recommendations for how to teach your children to sew. When can we start? What type of projects are best for little people to be proud of?
I have a lot of advice for this! Start with this blog post: www.pincutsewstudio.com/blog/2020/3/21/what-a-great-time-to-sew-with-your-kids-all-my-sewing-with-kids-posts-in-one-place
Ummm I wouldn’t say it’s a super fast project, but also it’s not hard and I made the people as un-fussy as possible, so it’s probably less time consuming than it looks.
Just an fyi on the Cape thing. Martha Stewart had a cape made of towels that she had for kids in the summer. Might be worth looking up and seeing if you can reverse engineer it.
A lot of good ideas in this video. But please, please slow down when showing example pictures!!! I wanted to see & study a bit but was impossible...😢 to do.
You can go to the top right corner of her video or any video and touch it a round gear shape icon should appear touch it. A list will appear and it will say speed touch it and you can slow down any video you are watching to the speed you want. Hope this helps
@@Janice-l4l Thanks for your suggestion, however I always watch on RUclips Premium (love it) & this option not available I don't think. Guess I'll have to switch to my PC or tablet maybe. But won't get the 55" picture of course. Phooey!
@@roseannbradley3724 I do, too, as I learn to sew things this way. In this video particularly the views speeded off the chart, couldn't stop them. Tried slowing everything down which drove me nuts but I guess is the answer. Doubt I'll do this though...
Bean bags need styrofoam. Go to your local home store and ask them for the styrofoam trash if they won’t give it to you go pick there dumpsters. Break up styrofoam into small pieces. Free filling. Saving the planet.
Can we please stop saying "for boys, for girls" that just reinforces gender stereotypes and limits kids imagination 😫 my boy LOVES having fancy haistyles, pigtails, bows, fun hairties, playing princess and dressing up... I also sewd for him a doll carrier because he loves imitating me (he has a baby brother) and he loves taking care of his dolls! 🫶
Annie, you DO NOT have the right to tell others what they can or can not say. If you are too precious for video's like this, move on. Also consider the damage that you are causing/ allowing for your son. As a woman whose mother wanted a son first and tried to 'change' me, deny my very existence as a girl, I am beyond furious at her rejection of me and her abu_se/ manipulation just so SHE could 'feel better'. I now know her to be highly narcissistic and have been no contact for years. I hope you have some really good answers for your son when he comes to you and asks why you didn't validate HIM as a boy/ man, but instead validated the perverse trends of strangers. Get over yourself. Raise your son well. He doesn't deserve the consequences that are ahead. Ones that he alone will have to endure, not you. You are not loving your son.
This is a non political channel, you have just made something out of nothing, there are tons of drama channels on RUclips, please let us enjoy a crafting video.
My dog would love that baby toy

I like all your ideas. One year I made 15 quillows- a quilt that folds up into a pillow, but I made them with one layer of fleece. Quick!
I made Cinderella dresses for my daughter and other princess dresses just using curtain lining…they lasted years 😀

Love it 😁
Great video, thank you. I would be interested in dog / cat items.
Thank you
I made my kids throw pillows for car, using hand towels. I used ribbon to put their names on them. Sew 3 edges with wrong sides together. Stuff and sew other end shut. I still have one of them in the car for traveling. Probably 45 years old now.
Lots of good ideas = thanks 🤩
❤ TFS
Thank you!!!!
I love love love these ideas. Do you have any recommendations for how to teach your children to sew. When can we start? What type of projects are best for little people to be proud of?
I have a lot of advice for this! Start with this blog post: www.pincutsewstudio.com/blog/2020/3/21/what-a-great-time-to-sew-with-your-kids-all-my-sewing-with-kids-posts-in-one-place
@@PinCutSew thanks
Came to the links for the hooded cape with no luck... am I missing it??
Wow you are a very talented lady! How do i get the patterns for your dolls?
Thank you so much 🤗 Here’s a link: www.pincutsewstudio.com/shop?category=Dolls+%26+Doll+Clothes
I love to make Pee Pee Teepees or AKA Wee Wee Wigwams for boy babies. They make great baby shower gifts.
Never heard of this, I will have to do some research!
@@christi4169 lots of great videos here on You Tube.
How about your nativity set? Does that require a lot of time?
Ummm I wouldn’t say it’s a super fast project, but also it’s not hard and I made the people as un-fussy as possible, so it’s probably less time consuming than it looks.
Just an fyi on the Cape thing. Martha Stewart had a cape made of towels that she had for kids in the summer. Might be worth looking up and seeing if you can reverse engineer it.
A lot of good ideas in this video. But please, please slow down when showing example pictures!!! I wanted to see & study a bit but was impossible...😢 to do.
You can go to the top right corner of her video or any video and touch it a round gear shape icon should appear touch it. A list will appear and it will say speed touch it and you can slow down any video you are watching to the speed you want. Hope this helps
@@Janice-l4l Thanks for your suggestion, however I always watch on RUclips Premium (love it) & this option not available I don't think. Guess I'll have to switch to my PC or tablet maybe. But won't get the 55" picture of course. Phooey!
Or pause video on the spot you want to study. 😃👍 I do this ALL the time! 👌😉😁
@@roseannbradley3724 I do, too, as I learn to sew things this way. In this video particularly the views speeded off the chart, couldn't stop them. Tried slowing everything down which drove me nuts but I guess is the answer. Doubt I'll do this though...

print out a picture of the deployed soldier onto printable fabric, incorporate into doll for the face
Bean bags need styrofoam. Go to your local home store and ask them for the styrofoam trash if they won’t give it to you go pick there dumpsters. Break up styrofoam into small pieces. Free filling. Saving the planet.
Can we please stop saying "for boys, for girls" that just reinforces gender stereotypes and limits kids imagination 😫 my boy LOVES having fancy haistyles, pigtails, bows, fun hairties, playing princess and dressing up... I also sewd for him a doll carrier because he loves imitating me (he has a baby brother) and he loves taking care of his dolls! 🫶
Your poor child... I can't imagine having to grow up in a woke household.
Little kids aren’t watching her videos so how is it limiting their imagination? Lol
Annie, you DO NOT have the right to tell others what they can or can not say. If you are too precious for video's like this, move on. Also consider the damage that you are causing/ allowing for your son. As a woman whose mother wanted a son first and tried to 'change' me, deny my very existence as a girl, I am beyond furious at her rejection of me and her abu_se/ manipulation just so SHE could 'feel better'. I now know her to be highly narcissistic and have been no contact for years. I hope you have some really good answers for your son when he comes to you and asks why you didn't validate HIM as a boy/ man, but instead validated the perverse trends of strangers. Get over yourself. Raise your son well. He doesn't deserve the consequences that are ahead. Ones that he alone will have to endure, not you. You are not loving your son.
This is a non political channel, you have just made something out of nothing, there are tons of drama channels on RUclips, please let us enjoy a crafting video.
You need to be stay off the internet.... smh
