I am at an age where I appreciate a handmade gift over a store bought one. During the Great Depression parents often collected toys their children had, which needed repairing, and they'd repair them. Mom's would make little dresses for dolls. It's time to get back to that.

I love making handmade presents. Although I think I may have bitten off slightly more than I could chew with the patchwork bags I have made for friends and family this year. All hand stitched too! I must have been nuts. 🙄
i made doll and barbie clothes for my granddaughter last year, it was so fun
I love making handmade presents. As do my friends. Although I think I bit of slightly more than I could chew with the patchwork bags I have made for birthday presents this year! Being hexagons they were stitched by hand. Finished the last one today, although I still have the pincushion and needlecase to finish. Then a set for me, but that will be a 2024 project! 😆
I really appreciate that you let us know when it’s important to be super precise, and when it won’t make a difference to the final result.
Of course! Thank you for watching! - Yajaira
I think the greatest strong point in your teaching abilities is your, “you can do this” attitude. Watching and listening to you gives me confidence.
We're glad you enjoy these fun ornaments! Thank you very much for watching!! 💖 -Michelle
At first i was a bit disappointed that this had to be sewed but i soon got over that watching you, plus i have a sewing machine so i figured once you got the hang of this you could fly through with the sewing. I'm from the UK and what i call REAL crafting has only taken off in the last 10 years so there's not a lot of video's to watch. I really appreciated too that you took the time to explain so well, believe me not everybody does. As it's a bit too close to Christmas for me to start these now i'm thinking of starting them after the holidays and making a ton of them all ready and waiting to gift to someone, i just hope they turn out as well as yours. Thank you so much for sharing with us and Happy Holidays to you. Shirley from the UK.🎄
We are very glad you enjoy this fun project! Thank you for watching. Enjoy your Holidays!! 💖 -Michelle

Thank you for this wonderful video. I can't wait to make a few for some family and friends. What's really cool is that no two ornaments have to be alike. Thanks Jen,
Thank you for watching! I completely agree they do not need to be alike which makes it that much more fun. - Yajaira

What a wonderful tutorial! I'm a teacher and wanted to give my fellow teachers a little handmade something for the holidays and these ornaments will be perfect. (Not to mention this project will help me use up some of those scraps that are taking over my sewing room, haha.) Thanks again!
These are great for scraps! That is such a lovely idea. They are going to love it as it is a more thoughtful gift! Thank you for watching! - Yajaira
I add a button to the back as well, as an accent and it helped me hide the thread ends.
That is a great idea! - Yajaira
Hidden by the backing?
Super tree decoration , I will try and make one of those. Thankyou
This is a fun and great project for your Christmas tree decor! Happy that you love them! Thanks for your comment! - Abby

I love getting your Christmas ornaments kits. I started making them for my children and grandchildren. They lGaylove them. I customized the felt balls last year. My grandson plays hockey
so his had hockey sticks and pucks. My granddaughter plays soccer, so hers was a soccer ball with her high school intiials on. Thank you for your kits. Looking forward to getting more next year. Gayle Nocera
We're very happy you enjoy them! Thank you for sharing those sweet moments with us. -Michelle
I love it, will be making some, thanks for sharing
We're very happy this project has inspired you. Thanks so much for watching!! -Michelle
My mother used to make these. She sewed them all by hand. Due to the circumstances by which I left home I didn’t have one. This pattern will allow me to make some for my adult children. I would like to tell you how much I respect you. I was a member of the Women’s Army Corps for six years myself. Thank you for all you do!!!
What a lovely memory of your mother. Thank you for all that you do! I am glad to hear that the pattern will allow you to make gifts for your children. They are going to love it! - Yajaira
Thank you so much for your videos. So helpful.
You are welcome! Happy that you love our tutorials and that they help you! Thanks for your comment! - Abby
A couple of suggestions: I use a crochet hook to help me turn corners. Also, you could put a button on both sides of the ornament. I love your idea of pulling the thread through and cutting it off to bury the end of the slipstitch and the button! Your videos are so encouraging. I can't believe I can make something, and then you reassure us, and I believe!
That is a great tip! Thank you for sharing those suggestions with us. Thank you for watching! - Yajaira

Thanks. I'm going to make for my office friends. 😀

I have a few small squares of fabric that I had made matching dresses for my sisters, Mom and Aunt (Mom's sister) for Easter. While it is bunnies and so forth, us 3 girls are the only girls, is having all boys for cousins. When we all came out we either got playfully teased and We drove our oldest brother crazy because there where 5 of us all with the same dress on and where "threatened" to never do that again! Lol. So the fabric has a lot of memories and the bigger scraps where ruined from our "finished" basement flooding a whopping over 2 feet! It will be bittersweet because My Aunt (I only had 2, and my other Aunt I have only seen a couple times in my life, with a occasional bday card when she remembers, she older. So this Aunt we where VERY close with) this Aunt, Aunt B, she Died very suddenly from covid-19 in early March. She was found incoherent by her hisband's caregiver, rushed to the hospital and died the next morning. We didn't know it was in our state yet. She actually would have been the first known to die from it in our state, but her test was lost, but it was confirmed from symptoms, and the fact that my grown cousin that had rushed to her side, got it a week later. The state 2 days later went to lockdown and my parents are too high risk, so we didn't get to go to her memorial in July. Dear Auntie B was the one that got me into sewing, teaching me how to sew my first button, and she sewed us when we where little our very own little house on the prarie dresses, matching bonnets and color cordanating pinafore. This pattern reminds me alot of her and a style she would have made for a quilt. And probably would have made this ornament. Sorry for getting all sappy, but this sure gave me a rush of memories and feelings. Whoever reads this, please stay safe and well and talk to your loved ones today, because they may not be hear tomorrow. If you aren't taking this covid-19 seriously, I lost my Aunt to this and what they go through is totally awful and heart wrenching. It is horrible to loose a loved one that way. I have 2 brothers that had it in CA in January (they thought they had the worst cold ever, later a friend that they actually gave it to tested positive with antibodies) my Cousin's girlfriend's daughter had it without knowing and the same cousin got it. Who insedendly has a doctorate in nurse Andsthaist, and ended up working in the in a big hospital's Covid-19 ward (says you just can't realize what this does to a person unless you see it in person, making it worse when you know what it permanently does to them) it made him so sick he almost went to the ER himself, saying her had never been so sick in his life, but he didn't go because he knew how over worked they where and didn't want to burden them. Thankfully he got better and heal 100%. Also have 2 different family members that work in big hospitals (one is head of something) and they have both told us as well that this is huge and to stay home. It is no joke folks and knowing your loved one probably died alone is heartbreaking beyond words. Don't take chances. You only have 1 life.
We are so sorry for your loss. We will keep her in our prayers. COVID-19 has affected many people around the world. It is a crazy time that we are living through right now. It is important to stay safe and to constantly tell your loved one how much you love them because you really don't know when something will happen. Thank you for sharing that story with us. We are happy to hear that something small reminded you of so many wonderful memories with your Aunt. Thank you for commenting anyone is welcome to express the way they feel on this channel. Stay safe❤️ - Yajaira

I am going to try this today. I just joined a craft group who make items for nursing home patients. I am going to try to make these ornaments for the patients. I love your tutorials which make it so much easier to make things. I did go to the patterns, but I could not find just the pattern.
That is really great that you are making them for nursing home patients. This is a great project for gifts! Happy that you love our tutorials and this project! We have a link for you here where it will take you to this pattern! www.shabbyfabrics.com/p40294/cathedral-window-ornaments-pattern?ref=SearchAutocomplete Hope this helps! 😊 - Abby
This is Marilyn my husband Chris died last month and I intend to make blue ornaments for his children and grandchildren from his ties so I will make this ornament double sided rather than plain on the back. My tip is to use ladder stitch to close the opening as it makes a much neater finish. This is one of the styles I intend to try. Thank you.
Hi Marilyn - We are very sorry for your loss, of what seems like an amazing man. We're glad this project has inspired you to repurpose his apparel into lasting memories. Thank you for sharing this with us. 💖 -Michelle
What a treasure you are making them, may God Bless You through these difficult times. My 🙏

My mum's tip for sewing buttons on anything is to use double strand thread, knot thread then thread button onto needle from back to the front, then through another hole back to the back of button & slip needle between the 2 strands of thread. Makes it so easy to get started & it also hides the knot. Hope that makes sense.
Yes, it does make sense. Thank you for sharing that amazing tip! - Yajaira
@@ShabbyFabrics you're very welcome. Double thread gives extra strength, the knot is hidden & it is so much easier to place the button
Merci beaucoup belle video

Happy holidays! Thank you for watching! - Yajaira
So pretty
Thank you! - Yajaira
Have you thought about adding a contrasting button to the front and smaller one to the back? Sew them together and bury your licking knits under the back button.
That's a great idea! I've done that on a few of the ornaments I've made for myself, and used the back button to anchor the front one in place, like a tufted cushion. -Bethany
I have had this pattern for awhile and could never really figure it out..thanks for this easy to understand video😊t
Glad it was helpful! - Yajaira
I made a pillow out of this pattern and it’s stunning! Highly recommended if you’re up for a bigger project 😊
I just love these! ❤
They are adorable! - Yajaira
Lovely
Thank you! - Yajaira
I will make them for my daughters they all live not to close to us and this year will not get together. Thank you from Switzerland
Very nice of you! I am sure they will love it. - Yajaira
You can hide final knot on button by wrapping the thread UNDER the button (around the threads) several times, make a loop, and go through the loop. To start, you will have to come up from the back and the angle the threaded need down the button hole towards the side so you don't go through to the back.
What an amazing tip! Thank you for sharing that with us! - Yajaira
When I add or replace buttons, especially on heavier fabrics, I then bring the final thread to the front, underneath the button, then wind the thread around itself right underneath the button, then knot it right underneath and trim the tail. Then, you don't have a lump showing anywhere at the back because it's trimmed underneath the button at the front. If you look at jackets, especially at higher end ones, that's often how it's done if the buttons are affixed by hand.
Thank you for that very helpful suggestion!! -Michelle
That is sweet
Thanks for watching! ;D
- Beth
te felicito tu trabajo te quedo bello.
Muchas Gracias - Yajaira
Marilyn I am so sorry for ur lose! I will pray to help ur far throw this tie.

I love this! You stated in the beginning that we can buy the pattern but at timestamp 2:17, you said there is also a free downloaded pattern available. I can't find it anywhere!
