Patchwork Star Ornaments 

Is there a way to get your templates? It said it was expired. LOVE this project!

Thank you so much!! I bought this machine off craigslist for $20 from the son of the lady who bought it knew. She passed away and he didn't want the machine. It's a 1946 Singer 15-91 in the original mahogany cabinet. It came with the original owners manual and sales receipt. No attachments but I've since bought those at an estate sale for 50cents for a box full of them. If you sew and ever get the chance to own a vintage Singer, DO IT! You won't regret it! They are a dream to sew on!

How refreshing to see a male sewing with a wonderfully antique machine. My son taught himself how to sew (Marine and Army soldier) because he didn't enjoy all the partying when off duty. When he was killed awhile back, my old sewing machine was in the trunk of his car and he had been making pajamas for his son. Your video is very easy to follow and very creative. I'll have to make some of these. Thank You

Thanks! These old Singers are a dream to sew on! One of these days I'd like to get a Singer treadle and learn to sew on it. I'd SO much rather sew on these than the new machines. Complete night and day difference!

It's never too early to start work on ornaments!! I make them all throughout the year that way I can concentrate on other things during the season. ;-)

Love your sewing machine...nothing like an old classic Singer. Love your tutorials, too, of course

Thanks! I love my old Singers. This one is a 1946 15-91. My other is a 1954 15-91. Can't beat a $20 craigslist sewing machine!

Love your star ornament. I shared it with my sewing group. We will be making them next week. Thanks for including the templates link. I like how you talk your way thru each step as you sew.

I just tried to figure out what to do with all of my fabric along with what I'm going to make for my little sister. We exchange handmade Christmas ornaments each year. This is WONDERFUL!! Thank you so much.

I enjoyed it, he is clear, concise, and easy to understand. His voice is pleasant, and he tells you what you need to know, shows you how, without talking too much. I have a lot of material to try for this. Thanks

You are so smart picking patchwork fabric. This way you know they work well together. Thanks for the tutorial.

So love the things you make and everything is easy to understand. Very Talented guy. Great to see a guy doing this sort of thing Thanks for sharing with us... Look forward to your other wonderful tutorials..

Love this star ornament! I definitely plan on making some as Christmas gifts! Thanks so much for your clear, easy to follow instructions. Homemade ornaments are such a nice treasure to pass down.

You're welcome! Thanks for watching!

what a great way to learn you points on star quilting... well explained beautiful stars Thank you I wish you were my sewing teacher.. very well explained

Just found your ornament tutorials... love them! Very clear instructions... I also love the old Singer you are using for sewing.. I also have one!! I really don't like all the new fangled machines there are out there today... my age might have a little to do with it... 69 and holding... grew up with a Mom who did public sewing... saw lots of machines in my day... Thanks again for the great tutorials...

What a fun project - and a super awesome sewing machine!

Great tutorial. Excellent idea about using a patchwork fabric for your points. I love your sewing machine as well.

That stars ornaments are cute and real nice for giving, Thank you Blessings

Wow, many thanks! This is Z's Mom. I will be sharing this tutorial with my Mission Stitchers group to make for our Christmas Craft Sale. We are raising $ to pay for shipping a suitcase full of dresses we made to girls in Rwanda.

I am so envious of your vintage Singer Sewing Machine. I learned on one in elementary school and it is still the best machine I have ever used. Oh I know there are fancier ones with all kinds of bells and whistles but the simple Singers always work and there are not so many things to break and go wrong. I am at the same time so happy that you have this one and I wish you many happy hours using it.

Thanks for the instructions. I've made 9 of these in varying sizes for my yearly ornament for my family.

These are darling.Somewhat primitive folkart and yet traditional in colors.Also love your machine.I have one similiar minus the cabinet.It was my mothers.When I had it reconditioned,the gentleman who worked on it,told me they're the cadillac of Singer machines.

I so enjoy all your tutorials. They are simply explained.. continue the good work..u are bless! I am a crafter myself, but still learn everyday from u wonderful ppl out there...

These are beautiful. I am a very beginner when it comes to sewing but with your video I just might be able to pull this off. I know I sure want to try, I love these. Thank you for sharing this!

These are adorable! Beth sent me over to see - I love them! And what a beautiful sewing machine - such a treasure! Thanks!

Wow....These were amazingly easy!!! My 8, 10, 12 & 14 year old each made one today too! Thank you for posting such a fun project. We will be making them for gifts this year.

Thanks for the excellent tutorial. You were very easy to follow and understand. I'm going to purchase some Christmas fabric ASAP!

I enjoyed watching this tutorial,even though I will not be able to make any as I am useless at sewing,and have no machine,I am almost tempted to have a go using hot glue,as they are very pretty,and look so effective ,sort of vintage style.Thanks for a lovely tutorial.

Thank you so much for the tutorial and templates - I can't wait to try this!

Thank you for an easy to understand and to the point, enjoyable video. I'll enjoy making some of these for next year.

love it! great job and love your sewing machine.

Adorable I watched a tutorial you made before this and I really enjoy your lessons, you make it seem so easy. I am teaching my 7 & 9 year old granddaughters to machine quilt and sew and I was looking for items we can make next week while they stay for a couple of days, so thank you so much for your inspiration and talent.

Totally enjoyed watching your video, they are so easy, Thank You so much.

Glad they turned out well for you! I need to make me another pan of the cookie dough brownies. Been having a craving for them, LOL!!

They are beautiful!! Thank you for sharing!

Beautiful sewing machine. And what a great idea to buy one fabric w patchwork for matching colors.

Thanks so much for posting. I can't wait to give these a try!

ahh! I have some really cool gold (ish) with grapes clusters of all things, Christmas fabric looks like could be hoffman!? And this girl is breaking up her stash with a few of these, I think I can make at least 25, will put them in cards for my Christmas cards this year! Thank you so much mr. crouton crackerjacks for making this video, I truly love your cooking and crafts videos! you, are so talented! Thanks!!! Jill

These little stars are so sweet, thanks for sharing:)

I love your stars, I also love your sewing machine

Great pattern. I am a quilter. I made ornaments using the fabric from the quilts I made over the years. Each person received an ornament using their fabric. I still had it in my stash!!!!

Luv the machine,very nice of you to share this, i will look for you on fb.good job!

Great tutorial, well done! I look forward to trying these.

You're welcome! Glad I could be of some help!

Great tutorial!! Knowing me, I would sew the star points together, then lay on a piece of backing material...sew, then trim the backing...I tend to have "slipping" issues!! LOL I love your sewing machine, and thought it was really nice to see someone else uses pieces of tape to mark their seams!!! LOL Found you on FB today, and I love it!! Thank you!

Your fabric is really pretty!

LOVE your machine!

Merci beaucoup! These are adorable. I'm starting to make my first one right now. It is also my first attempt at patchwork but thanks to your excellent tutorial I am confident I should be able to manage it.

Wow!! You have some impressive sewing skills!! Those are terribly cute, and I love your sewing machine!

those look AMAZING!!!!

Thank you for sharing. These are going to be loads of fun! I increased the template size to 130% and I think that will be perfect!

Mike drop....having the template open so you can see your fabric placing....omg that makes so much sense and I can use the same idea for my Memory Bears etc....thankyou soooooo much for the tutorial and the great tip!

Wow, that's a beautiful sewing machine.

1. LOVE your machine. I sew on an old, industrial type machine, but love yours. 2. Thanks for the tut. I will be making these for all of my nieces this year for Christmas. Very cute!! 3. Thanks for the link to the templates. :)

This is a wonderful tutorial, very nice and easy follow! I'll defiantly be making some of these as last minute gifts!

these are so gorgeous!!!!! I have to make some NOW!!! LOL. thank you so much. You are so talented.

Good ideas. I enjoy your tutorials

It's a type of knot that hand quilters use. All you do is hold the end of the thread near the eye of the needle, wrap the thread 3 times around the shaft of the needle (going towards the point), hold those wraps between your fingers and pull the needle and thread through. Ties the knot for you! There's videos here on YT that show how it's done if you search hand quilting videos.

These are so great! I want to make several, one for every member of my family including my new grandson : ). The hubs has gotten me a lot of sewing stuff, notions, fabric...real cheap from a local weekend flea market so these types of projects give me a chance to use up some of the smaller batches of notions. Thanks so much for sharing your pattern too. I have both the small & lg wacky web templates, (they look like kites, from Missouri Star Quilt co.) which make the star points perfectly but I needed the full star for the back of the small stars. I'm going to try to use the larger one to make a cute tree topper. I have made several other super cute things from your other tutorials too. Each has come out great thanks to your awesome teaching style & thorough instructions. Thanks so much : )

I love this video ! Thank you . I gonna do this star for my cristimas tree this year .

i love the machine and would love to hear its story or at least have tour! im going to have to watch this twice because I am so entranced by the machine Im missing the instructions. You are one amazing guy! Your videos are some of the very best Ive seen and by far my favorites. You teach just right, you dont treat us like we're stupid but give enough detail that I dont get lost, which happens to me more often then Id like to admit :)

This is beautiful 🥰thank you so much for sharing with us x🤗x

wooow!!! wonderful work!!! you are the best genius ever!

I love the old machine! I have a 1926 Singer that needs a belt but other than that it works great. The ornaments turned out really cute!

Wow - wish I'd found you sooner - love all of your how to videos - not too chatty, clear instructions, no bouncing camera shots - when you have music, it's not cheesy...how much more can I gush? I'm going to do a couple of these ornaments, but I've got you marked for next year! Going to head over to your FB page as well - thanks for posting templates! Super job. :)

Definitely trying these this weekend!!

Thank you!

I love my old Singers and the love affair began when my siblings had no desire to take my Mom’s old 66 treadle machine. So, I paid a king’s ransom to have it moved over 400 miles to my house. Mom loved that machine and I just couldn’t see it in a landfill. I cleaned it up, oiled it and fell madly in love with the old back clamp Singer. I learned real fast why mom loved it so. The only problem is it started an addiction in me. I love them all, you keep them clean and oiled and they sew with fearless abandon, perfect stitches. No machine made today will last as long or perform as well as these old girls.

Your sewing machine is so beautiful 😍

luv ur work and ur machine!!!

They are fairly quick. I did 8 in about an hour and it seems like if you do a lot at once, they go SO much quicker than if you did each individually.

Thank you so much for this pretty star !

Another amazing Idea. thank you!

Thanks Wendy!

I love this! Not a folded one, but beautiful! Another one I definitely want to make!

Love that idea!! I know I dont have time this year to make these but I will be for next year. Thanks for the idea!!!

ME ENCANTA TU MAQUINAAAAAA, TUS TRABAJOS TAMBIEN,TE FELICITO.

Very cute, love them.

I have 2 old Singers that I love. By hand, they take quite a bit longer.

Can't wait to see more. How easy. Thank you so much. Where have you been all this time?

Well thank you!

Those stars are so cute...Awesome tutorial, thank you :) Even if my corners are a bit rounded. Need practice.

Excelente, su explicación muy clara, mil gracias

Looks like fun, kind of. Have to show it to my wife. She makes Christmas Trees. Fixed the cranberries and the cookie dough dessert for Thanksgiving, both were really good. I DO cook, lol.
