Ok i have to ask...was this room oncea bathroom? Or a closet? Im just a nosy old bag, i just turned 75 on the 28th june. Im teaching myself to quilt and your title caught my attention about doing the sashing the right way. So yes im intrigued by it.
Haha! The previous owner had it as an office but I think it might have been the houses original mud room and that was the back door. The house was added onto in 1959, but this room was original, That’s my theory.
I really enjoy your videos and your style. I love improv or making things up as I go along. You’re keeping me company today while I knock out a few wips.
You are always so clever. I quilt a lot with my walking foot. Thanks for the tips about rolling the two sides. I will definitely be trying that next time.
I use old t shirts for Jersey muslin. I totally agree that making a muslin saves money and your confidence! I remember the first time I made a dress after I had made a number of muslin, it fit perfectly and I was delighted with the result.
Thanks to you i have found a craft area in my own house. I have a long narrow guest room that became a dumping ground to hide stuff from my toddler. The room has a window in the middle, so thanks to your inspiration, i divided my room in two, using the wardrobe as a divider. When you walk into the room it now looks like a modestly sized bedroom but behind the wardrobe out of sight is my little haven, ironing space, storage. I call it Narnia. 😂 I saw an ironing solution on just get it done quilting channel. I use a tall narrow shelf with a small board on top. It is sturdy and fits perfectly, because it is a shelf, i can store my iton, spray and rulers and thread on it. Perfect. Thanks for the inspo.
When I need a simple appliqué (leaf, etc.) I cut out 2 layers, sew all around, right sides together, slash the middle of the back, turn and press. I love your approach to quilting.
Great video! I use a long armer for my large quilts and I edge-to-edge quilt my throws, lap quilts, table runners, etc. but this video made me realize how much I enjoy tacking down the bindings so this has inspired me to actually hand quilt my current project - a lap quilt so a good place to start! I will practice on a small piece like your sample because I strive to have my stitches as perfect as yours. I had to look up Baptist fan though - hope you’ll show a little diagram if you suggest another pattern. Once I finally found it, I realized I had seen it (senior moment) so I’m anxious to get started. Thank you so much for a great video and your inspiration. And, your quilts are amazing!
Just made a set of these. Not sure if I did it right though… (second time really sewing something) The small one can fit a small mass market paperback comfortably and I can cram my kindle into it (although it fits more comfortably in the middle size). The medium size is better for the kindle and can handle thicker mass market paperbacks. The large size can handle a larger traditional paperback and maybe a thinner hardback, but doesn’t stand a chance against my epic fantasy hardback books. 😅 But that being said really great tutorial and when I go for a second set I can always adjust the measurements to accommodate my larger books ❤
My only problem was the quilting. I’ve not done this before so I didn’t have an easy way to guide the even distance lines. I ended up moving my tape over every line and sewed along the edge. But that was too narrow (1”). How else besides having a foot guide? I didn’t understand the chopstick suggestion. And my making pen is almost dry.
I’m not trying to step on anyone’s toes, but I hate to cut, because of wrist issues, so if you cut strips 3 1/2” by WOF, you only need two different strips sets. Sew the strips sets together. The dark w/strawberries and the light w/strawberries. Then sub cut into 3 1/2” sets. Then sew the dark and light sub cut sets, together. Saves a lot of cutting and wrist pain. Plz don’t be offended. Wasn’t meant to be. Your fabric is sew cute. Love the pin cushion. Thanks
Congratulations Niki on your RU-vid Button, I haven't noticed it before, I love your channel , and thank you for helping me with quilting a big quilt from one of your other video's . I love your dolls they are so very cute, one day I will try to make one. Narelle.
Not a fan of Elve on a shelf. But your doll is super cute. I think the craft stores sell holiday stuff so earlier is, some stuff takes a long time to complete.
I would love to find instructions for simple Barbie clothes. My sister made a box full for me one Christmas. She was 10 years older than me and was so great at sewing.
These are the cutest! I purchased the other doll pattern during your sale. I’m hoping to start making one in the next week or so. I have been gathering supplies. I would love to make 3 before Christmas. 🎄
“ Great video! “Sucking the fabric into the machine” indeed! I really don’t like when that happens. Didn’t know what leaders and enders were until recently. Man, do they help!!!! I’m going to get a hemostat. This pattern is adorable. Thanks.
I love your doll patterns, I’ve made grandparents, ballet dancer and mermaid. I have been told my daughter not to make an elf on the shelf cos you have to remember to move it every day. She has a friend who sends the elf on a spa holiday mid December!! 🤣😂, but I may just need to make one for me! ❤
I am currently watching on my TV but had to stop and comment. In the video where you are showing starter and end pieces, and how not to get your materials sucked down into your machine. I was piecing these two very small pieces together and it sucked down into the hole in my needle plate AND bent it! 😮 I've got another one on order should be here Friday, hopefully that takes care of it or I'll be making a trip to the repair shop. I picked up some machine oil today, figured I'd give her a good cleaning and oil while we waited. 😢 It will be okay, it will be okay, it will be okay. I had just gotten my sewing stuff semi situated and been able to use my newish machine. Found you on RU-vid and your videos have encouraged me to try wonky quilts or at least blocks. So far I've made 6 Mason Jar Cozy for the 4th of July. ❤
I got my plate early and just put it on.... Yay!🎉 I'm back in business. ❤️ I just made my first start and going to do me end block next but had to tell you!!! ❤
Hi Nicole, I really enjoyed watching your video on making dolls or sewing small things. For years I made Barbie and Ken clothes for my niece and then I started making them to sell in a store I had a big newspaper ad done in the Palm Beach Post years ago I sold quite a few until the store moved, I miss it to some degree, my hobby now is Quilts and Bible reading/study.
