I just bought my first sewing machine in January and have been watching many tutorials on how to make a memory quilt/blanket. Yours is BY FAR the easiest to understand - thank you! My goal is to make each of my three children a memory blanket by end of my maternity leave (in six months time...). I can’t wait to give this project a go, thank you 🙏

@CHARLIEPRESENTS 3 года назад

Thank you Chloe, enjoy making them!

I'm saving this video for when my 7 week old son has outgrown his first sleepsuits and vests 💖

@jolene1779 3 года назад

By far best tutorial I have seen. I have been following along and I’m half way through my daughters blanket :)

@CHARLIEPRESENTS 3 года назад

That’s brilliant to hear! :)

@PixieNixful Год назад

Thanks for leaving this comment it's the encouragement I needed to start mine

@debbiehedges3846 2 года назад

A friend has asked me to make a memory blanket from her mothers clothes who has passed away. This is a great step by step tutorial that is easy to follow. I feel I would be able to attempt this now with your great tips and guidance from start to completion, thank you.

@cephid1 3 года назад

I am an experienced quilter, and just been asked to do two little quilts from baby clothes, I chanced on your tutorial , I needed to know the process for stabilizing, but stayed to the end, Fab, you are so clear with your instructions, thank you

@user-fo1lr9ll7e Год назад

This is the best video I’ve ever seen . I’m and experienced quilter who has struggled to gain all the skills that are so clearly and calmly explained here. I would recommend this video to anyone particularly new quilters. Brilliant.

@mcflygirl1977 Год назад

I’ve never made a quilt in my life. Haven’t touched a sewing machine in a millennia but thanks for helping in giving me the confidence to embark on this endeavor 😊 I’m probably going to practice and make a few non baby clothes quilts first before I take scissors to my baby’s old clothes and what not 😅

@assilemelissa 2 года назад

I've been putting off doing one of these because I thought it was going to be so difficult!! You have made it look super easy, thank you! I'm so glad I found this vid

@kathieflower519 3 года назад

Thank you so much for this. I made my son a memory blanket for Christmas, this is the most important gift I can give him. I went crazy and did a massive one, the size of a single quilt, and it took forever. It's not perfect and there are a few noticible mistakes but I am so happy with it. This was the best video I found, trust me I searched through many. The instructions were so clear and I even bought the same ribbon and a walker foot for my sewing machine. I am so happy that instead of his baby clothes in a bag in a cupboard they are now a beautiful quilt that will last forever. Again, thank you so much xxx

@CHARLIEPRESENTS 3 года назад

I bet it’s beautiful, well done on completing it! :)

@nicolepeters7196 4 месяца назад

You gave me the confidence to tackle this project! I was so intimidated because I didn’t want to ruin the clothes I saved. I’m looking forward to starting it 😊

@craftingmamaberne3776 3 года назад

I’m a total novice and when my daughter asked if I could make a blanket or quilt with my grandsons first clothes silly me said of course, 😆. Watching you do yours is amazing, I’d never have known about usable interfacing or batting 😳 and honestly I didn’t even know what they were. Seeing you use them I knew I’d need them too. Thank goodness for your video, it now makes me feel confident enough to actually give it a go and know which steps to follow and what comes next in each order. Thank you so much xx

@readingroomcafeproject 3 года назад

how did it go?

@kaywile4777 2 года назад

I have more sewing knowledge but I’ve never attempted quilting before. My daughter has lost her 3 week old daughter and can’t part with some of the clothes so asked me to do this. I said, I would look to see if I thought I could then give her an answer. But watching this has put all my doubts to rest, I don’t think it’s that hard. It would be a lot easier with all the fancy tools of course.

@craftingmamaberne3776 2 года назад

@@readingroomcafeproject I’ve managed great and really surprised myself with how well it went. I now have one happy daughter who loves to snuggle with her son close to bedtime with a memory keepsake.

Awesome video! I'm starting cutting the pieces for not one, but 2 memory blankets. Each kiddo will get one because both will have worn the same clothes as babies. One of those babies is 10 and the other is 5 months! 😂 So excited to be able to start working on this and keep adding to my squares as the littlest grows. Thank you for this video!

I just watched this video and I love how you make it so easy to understand the process and totally possible to realize this project. I'm a Mom who is working up the courage to make this for my daughter and I'm glad this is the very first video I watched to educate myself. Your calm and very clear way of explaining each step makes it enjoyable to watch even though I know making this for the first time isn't easy at all. Thanks again and more power to you!

@CHARLIEPRESENTS 2 года назад

Thanks Nadia, I hope you have had a go and hopefully made a beautiful quilt, if not definitely have a go… it’s easy once you get started! 😊

@Frugalisama 3 года назад

This is perfect, just what I was looking for, thank you, very clear. May I ask how it stands up to washing with the interfacing, I wondered if you would need something good quality to stop any puckering if the recipient was to chuck it into a hot wash?

@Pinkfriday2nm 6 месяцев назад

You do so well at explaining. Giving so many options and examples. Going over as many scenarios or outcomes that may be. Wow. I’m getting into sewing and I’m definitely following you.

@poonamsachdeva9172 2 года назад

Hi There,I absolutely admire your video. It's crystal clear what one has to Do. I have started doing a baby quilt..it's not a memory quilt though..my kids are old and I haven't unfortunately saved anything to make it into a quilt. I have couple of questions. I use a Brother sewing machine. It's really good. But do I need a walking foot for sewing thicker layer of batting, quilt and the backing cloth together. I can imagine how thick it gets as we add layers. Also, I have fusible fleecing and I am using polycotton to make the blocks. Will it be ok to fuse the quilt blocks and fusible fleece together using n iron and it does not shrink on washing. Please answer

@bomabompakarasch4230 Год назад

Really enjoyed njoyed your tutorial. Thank you. Watching frm South Africa 🇿🇦

@lilytchensakai3102 6 месяцев назад

Hi, really great tutorial, thank you. My daughter is 5 years old and I'm finally going through all her clothes to see what to keep for the quilt and what to donate. How many squares did you end up using in your quilt?

@taylorlorenzini8841 Год назад

I wish I would have seen this video a year ago! I’m still in the cutting and interfacing stage of my baby quilt, and I chose 4 inch squares. I used the square to cut out the interfacing then put the interfacing on the baby clothes, ironed, and cut. They’re definitely not perfectly square and am wondering if they’re going to be unusable or just a little more difficult to work with since I did it that way? My mindset was, there’s going to be overlapping to sew and I can make sure it’s square then 😬

@KatieandTeddy 6 месяцев назад

Absolutely great tutorial for a beginner like me however would love to see more detail on how to sew the corners - do you sew both edges after doing the corner triangle folder or just sew down the next edge - how do you sew the binded corners to finish the quilt Otherwise thanks 😊 so helpful!

@schwa_83 3 года назад

What a fantastic tutorial! So clear and well explained! I keep meaning to turn the bags of baby clothes I have into memory quilts, tgis tutorial is so easy I will get round to it now! One question: Is the interfacing only needed for jersey fabric pieces? Thanks :) x

@CHARLIEPRESENTS 3 года назад

Thank you! Yes you only need to interface the stretch materials, but if the woven fabrics are thin you could use interface just to give them a similar thickness to the jersey squares, hope that makes sense and good luck!

@FayeLoki 3 года назад

Thank you for the lovely tutorial. But could you give a tutorial on how to decide the size of the squares? And could we talk in cm and not in inches? For example. I'm making a 70x100cm baby quilt. How big should I make my squares to make sure I have a 5cm border with the back fabric and enough seam allowance for everything (i.e. the squares and the back fabric)? Thanks!

@jodeyfield-thomas8596 4 года назад

Love this! I am a complete beginner as in I'm still waiting for my machine to arrive! But this is so helpful. Can I ask what oz the wodding is please? Thank you

@CHARLIEPRESENTS 3 года назад

I got mine from amazon, but any good haberdashers should stock it. Thanks 😃

@yvonnejohn5069 3 года назад

Would have been nice to see how you did your corners on the binding

@soundasleep7816 2 года назад

Could I just use a fleece blanket as a bottom layer instead of the wadding. So 2 layers. One top with clothing squares and one bottom with fleece blanket?

@yasminemessaoudi6995 Год назад

Hi there, thanks for the video it's given me great ideas. Please can you advise - among the baby clothes I use - can I possibly include knitted clothing as part of the patchwork? Thanks in advance for the advice.

@user-mh8oc5so7q 7 месяцев назад

When you fold over the binding and then fold it back to the straight edge do you restitch over that straight edge before turning and sewing along the next side?

@sandralucas4268 4 года назад

Great tutorial, all squares prepared, can’t wait for next step. Do you prewash the wadding (Hobbs Premium) What model is your sewing machine? Thanks for the help!

@CHARLIEPRESENTS 4 года назад

Sandra Lucas hey, thanks for the message! No I don’t pre wash my batting and have never found shrinkage to be a problem. I use a Janome 525 sewist, I love Janome machines as they are so user friendly! Good luck with the quilt!

@suzy3867 2 года назад

Lovely tutorial, but how do you finish the corners ??

@Leojjjj589 3 года назад

Beautiful quilt! Did you cut the bedding set so it is 1 layer or keep it whole? Thank you

@CHARLIEPRESENTS 3 года назад

I used a single layer for the backing, along with the wadding and quilt top of course, making three layers in total for your finish quilt. Hope that makes sense!

@olivewoo522 3 года назад

i have a ton of questions. but first let me subscribe! okay, now that i have subscribed and dinged the notification bell, i am hoping you can help me. i'm about to make a quilt using thicker fabric, as matilda jane, mini boden, and hanna andersen. My questions: do i need a different stabilizer? what kind of backing should i use? this will be a queen size blanket. i guess it's a blanket, so i'm not sure exactly how i will do this. but any answers you can give me would be greatly appreciated. i'm more of a diy crafter, but i do have the necessary tools. hope to hear from you soon !

@CHARLIEPRESENTS 3 года назад

Olive Woo you can use the same lightweight stabiliser, that is just to stop the fabric stretching. As for backing you can use whatever you like best! If you can find anything large enough you can join your fabric for the backing! Hope that helps 😊

@user-mh8oc5so7q 10 месяцев назад

For the backing fabric does it all have to be one piece or could i stitch together a few smaller blankets that i have and then use it as one piece?

@Kaur41415 3 месяца назад

@anagabrielaayala1046 3 года назад

Did you press your binding in half before sewing or did it come folded like that?

@heatheronions3902 3 месяца назад

Love this! I want to do this, however I don’t have a sewing machine… would it be possible to hand sew this?

@audreyderby5926 3 года назад

@chanevanderschyff5204 2 года назад

Hi Charlie! Love the video! We are moving, and I would like to lessen the bulk of our baby clothes by cutting the squares for the blanket. But I will only be making the actual blanket somewhere in the future, must I iron on the fusible lightweight interfacing now, or can it wait to just before I plan on sewing it? And is it possible to add a knitted square to the pile?

@CHARLIEPRESENTS 2 года назад

Hi, thanks Chane, it is better to apply the interfacing before you cut, however you could cut them roughly for now, getting rid of the bulky bits that you won’t need, then when you have time you can apply the interfacing and cut them to final size later. I hope that helps and good luck with the move!

@chanevanderschyff5204 2 года назад

Thanks, that helps a lot! Another question; if I have a few knitted pieces, how would I go about adding them?

@helendawson9366 3 года назад

Amazing. Would this blanket be able to be made with a minky dimple back at all? Do you think? Thanks

@integrity99216 3 года назад

Does anyone know how I’d use a baby blanket to sew into it rather that clothes ?

@annflynn3199 3 года назад

integrity99216 I’d say the same way probably cut the squares bigger in going to try both Good luck 😉 it’s a great idea isn’t it

@nikolahajkova2571 Год назад

Hello I would like to ask if is way like I don’t find anywhere size for my quilt the batting fabric is is way to make it like with you pieces of batting?

@cotton_candykitten9379 4 года назад

Hi, the babygrow with the poppers on the front, did you stitch the poppers closed? Or did you just use the interface to keep the two sides together? This is beautiful and im wanting to do one for my little girl💕

@CHARLIEPRESENTS 4 года назад

Hi, I just interfaced them, but equally you could add a row of stitches to keep them closed if you prefer! Good luck with your project!
