I have never before seen a pin cushion that I would ever consider making, but I would make one like yours.

@sewlittletime Год назад

Thank you Katie, I can highly recommend it. It's stood the test of time and is a nice size. There is also a smaller version in the book too. I'll be making a new one for myself soon xx

@bq1428 Год назад

Thank you. Love the books.

Thank you, glad you enjoyed ☺️ xx

I love the little needle cases--I have one a friend gave me 30 years ago and I still use it, so it's a really useful gift (and yours are so cute.)

@sewlittletime 9 месяцев назад

Thanks Sue, I also use mine all the time...I don't think you can ever have too many either, always need them for different projects. Thanks so much for watching and commenting 😀 xx

@sherrelstroot3034 Год назад

Lovely gift ideas. Thank you. Your boys are adorable in their Christmas tee shirts.

@sewlittletime Год назад

Thank you Sherrel, I'm glad those t-shirts still fit so I won't need to worry about making any for Christmas jumper day this year xx

Karen, am a couple days behind, I have a fun memory to share. One year I made my 2 brothers a dozen briefs ( pants) but I got bored sewing white jersey, so I used navy jersey with orange stitching, velour, a tricot, and in general had a blast. Turns out each brother had his favorites. It’s a great idea, pants for the men in our lives. Thanks

@sewlittletime Год назад

Oh I love this!! How fun that they each had a favourite pair. I'm looking forward to seeing my husband's reaction to the boxers lol. I'll report back! It's so great for using up scraps of fabric too ☺️ xx

@bridgetwhite5547 Год назад

Great video, it was good seeing all those books, I have some of them and thought oh yes.... Still good making. Thank you 😊🎄

@sewlittletime Год назад

Thanks Bridget, I do like having lots of crafting books. I've requested some more for Christmas, so I'll be sharing a video all about what books I have and a short review on them xx

@jennetthamilton7942 Год назад

Thanks for share your gift ideas. I would love to see all the sewing books you have. The books you shared look very interesting.

@sewlittletime Год назад

Thank you...great I'll definitely share all my books then. I'm getting a few more for Christmas too, so perhaps I'll do two vlogs and split them into dressmaking books and crafting books xx

@marywallace5248 Год назад

Hi Karen, I have all the Tilda books and have made up lots of beautiful gifts from it. I think Tone Finnegar is Norwegian. You are right that reading the book makes you want to sew everything!

@sewlittletime Год назад

Thank you Mary, yes you're right she is Norwegian! She has some lovely projects in her book. I'll definitely revisit these patterns now I've been reminded. I hadn't picked up the books in awhile xx

@TheFrenchSeams_vlog Год назад

Such cute ideas!!!!! I didn’t know Cath Kidson had a book, that’s pretty cool!!

@sewlittletime Год назад

Thanks Rachael 💗...yeah I think she has a couple out. This one is quite good. I made the beanbags from this book too xx

@nancyhilborn885 Год назад

Great ideas!

@sewlittletime Год назад

Thank you Nancy ☺️ xx

@libbykilpatrick1578 Год назад

The Superhero boxers is a brilliant and easy pattern. Another great vlog Karen. Thank you.

@sewlittletime Год назад

Thanks Libby, I was hoping they'd be quick and easy. Thank you, glad you enjoyed it. I'm just starting on the water bottle cover ☺️ xx

@sallydingle321 Год назад

Such a lot of inspiration there Karen 👌... I particularly love the water bottle cover idea...think we're all needing them this year 😋😁✊💝😘

@sewlittletime Год назад

Thanks Sally, they get a lot of use in our house lol, so perhaps a few covers would be good for washing purposes 😄. Xx

@sewagnes6706 Год назад

Some lovely gift ideas. Thanks for sharing 😻

@sewlittletime Год назад

Thank you ❤️ xx

@alisonwilliams5355 Год назад

Love all these ideas, lots of different things. I have the Kath Kidson book & a lot of the things from the German author’s book you showed look very similar to the Debbie Shore book. Great video Karen.😊

@sewlittletime Год назад

Thank you Ali, I love having books like these, you can guarantee to find a nice gift to make. I don't have any Debbie shore books, although I did take one out of the library recently ☺️ xx

@lynneprentice4278 Год назад

Some lovely ideas there Karen! I can’t wait to see your boys in their tee shirts! ❤️

@sewlittletime Год назад

Thanks Lynne...they don't know I'm making them so hopefully they'll like them as much as their Christmas ones ☺️ xx

@jacmary6580 Год назад

Love the pin cushion idea, I have a lot of old chunky bangles so think I might swap the wooden ring out for a bangle 😊 I also glued my ready made pincushion to the top of my pattern clips jar, which keeps them together but the lid acts as a good balancing structure when at the machine 😊

@sewlittletime Год назад

Thanks very much, it's a nice make that pin cushion. Fab idea for using a bangle! Oh yes, I can imagine that's very useful with the clip jar. I have made a pin cushion before that sits on the top of a jar, it was one of those kilner jars where the top of the lid comes apart xx

@christycampbell1874 Год назад

Oh my word your boys are too cute!! Awesome videos. I found the Tilda book at my local library. Thanks for the tip!!

@sewlittletime Год назад

Thank you! They are a lot of fun 😉. That's great you found the Tilda book at your library ☺️ xx

@elainemakin8823 Год назад

Thank you for this vlog, some great ideas there. I have all the Tilda books and they are great for looking through when your sewjo is low… I currently have the bag project on my cutting table ready to make a start on. Xxx

@sewlittletime Год назад

You're welcome, I enjoyed making this vlog and it refreshed my memory for some of the lovely projects available in those books. I need to dust them off and get using them again. I have quite a few of the Tilda books - so many lovely thing to make. I've asked Santa for a few more books for Christmas too, so I'm thinking of sharing all the books on a vlog soon xx

@InAgatasCottage Год назад

Brilliant ideas. I love your needle holders. I think I will make one for myself for keeping sewing machine needles I am using /switching etc I made a good few infinity scarfs this year. I also included them in my video:) My daughter loves to put pins in colour order too:)

@sewlittletime Год назад

Thank you!! Glad you've taken some inspiration from this video. They are great little needle cases. I love the infinity scarf pattern...I need to make more as I wear mine a lot. Lol, it's funny isn't it when they sort them out! Thanks so much for watching and commenting xx

@InAgatasCottage Год назад

@@sewlittletime are your boys getting annoyed with you for messing pins up after they sorted them out? I got big speech about putting things were belong from Alice. Actually it was a shorter version if my giving out about mess in her room and not putting toys/clothes away 🙈 Kids are soo funny

@sewlittletime Год назад

@@InAgatasCottage lol, yes they do actually and then they tell me they'll have to sort them out again!! They are funny 😅 xx

@ClaireWhoMakesThings Год назад

I really enjoyed this Karen. I own all of the Tilda books and Poppy’s. I’ve recently up scaled (by hand) the house door stop pattern in Poppy’s book, as the patterns aren’t full size, but not got around to choosing fabric yet. It was lovely to revisit the Tilda books. I recognised your old pin cushion was tilda, how did you get a wooden ring big enough to fit? Or is it smaller than it looks on film. X

@sewlittletime Год назад

Thanks Claire, glad you enjoyed it. Getting those books out reminded me of all the lovely things I want to make! I'm pretty sure I got the wooden ring from panduro hobby...it was one of the shops listed in the books, but they've since closed down. You can get these rings online still though. Just Google Tilda wooden ring. There are two different sizes...a small and large and that's the large I've used for the pin cushion xx

@SusanSmith-hl3iv Год назад

I’m a little late to the party! I think you have some great ideas. Thanks for all the links. Please tell me what a snood is. Is it like a hoodie, just not attached to anything, that you can wear like a scarf but pull it up to cover your head? What are the dimensions of yours? I’m sure everyone loved your gifts!

@sewlittletime Год назад

Hiya, thanks so much for watching, glad you enjoyed it. A snood is more of a neck warmer. The free pattern and tutorial are on the apple green cottage website and it comes in 3 sizes...you need just 2 pieces of jersey fabric or fleece the largest size requirement is 25" x 9" per piece (64cm x 23cm). The infinity scarf measurements and tutorial is also on that website xx

@judithaltoft4690 Год назад

Hi karen, did you buy or make your scarf it looks so cosy have you a pattern if you made it, thanks x

@sewlittletime Год назад

Hi Judith, yes I did make it, it's the infinity scarf. There are measurements on the apple green cottage website. I might have included the link in the description of this video xx

@judithaltoft4690 Год назад
