In this world so full of excess and throw away stuff, Marion's World is the antidote we all need so much!! Thank you Marion for sharing your little ideas for using up what we have in a careful, beautiful way!💫
15.1 K !!!! Yay Marion !!!!! Love your ability to do anything you put your mind to do ! You are so clever !!!!! I love the additions to your Hassif !!! Happy that you had a wonderful visit with your daughter!!! Thanks so much for sharing your world, Marion !!! 🪡🧵💙
I know many people have said this, but Marion, you are amazing! So many skills and talents and beautiful ideas. Loved your story how you came to be named Marion, wonderful!! Thank you for sharing all that you do.🥰
"i made my own buttons out of a stick from the garden".....ooohhh mmyyyy goodness!!! Marion you are the best thing ive ever seen. Seriously each time i watch a video you show us something knew. Your mind and creativity are TRULY AMAZING!!! I Thought i had a great imagination but you are the whole cake with icing and the beautiful cherry in top. Thankyou for being in Marions World and sharing that world with us. 🥰🥰🌟💞💗 This little scissors case is just beautiful! ❤❤ The origami box out of fabric!!!......wow.....you think it you try it you succeed.. my good gosh!!
Everyone's comments express beautifully what I feel and experience with each of your videos. You are amazing and your skill growing efforts, help us to all be brave and give it a try. Your tutorials are brilliant and I am so appreciative of you sharing so much with us. I get so caught up in your teaching that I lose track of time and just love it. Thank you!
What a treasure of video Marion! Thanks for sharing the story of your name and the bow and arrow signature. The scissor’s case turned out lovely and the Chinese box was such a genius idea. Thanks for bringing joy to my Sundays! Your talent and kind heart fills my heart with inspiration and tenderness. ❤❤❤
Really enjoyed seeing the hussif come together. The little thread box reminded me of a leather purse I had as a child. All the accessories fit perfectly and look beautiful. X
I just love your 'take it on' attitude, Marion. Love how you just decide to try something and have a go at it, all the while not being overly self critical or perfectionistic about what you're doing, but just enjoying the process. This is something we all are resonating with because we all aspire to be more like this with our creative process I'm thinking. You are so sweet to share all of yourself in this way and you probably have no idea how many people you are encouraging and inspiring. Your needle case is lovely, but your soul is even lovelier and it comes shining through in every generous video. xoxo
That was lovely to read thank you. I do hope I show that you don't need much to start being creative with something. These days there's so much to buy it can be off putting for someone who thinks they need lots of stuff before they start.
Words can't describe how beautifully talented you are. You're an amazing person and I greatly appreciate you sharing your talents with others. Hugs to you.
Marion, you are a very talented Lady! I really enjoyed watching you make your little thread box and scissor holder. I have got to try and make the scissor holder to go around my neck. That was just precious. Now I know how to make my own wooden buttons. I am going tomorrow to baby sit my 3.5 month old grandson for my son to work and before I leave I'm going to go in the woods and cut myself some branches to make buttons. You are so full of ideas! Thank you so much for your tutorials. I just love watching you make things. Many Blessings. 🥰
Once more MAID MARION .....you are amazing !!!!!!! ( I love the story ) I have been sewing for years but I always learn something when I watch your show. Thank you, thank you , thank you......xxxxx ooooo
I absolutely love the story of your bow and arrow signature. My guess was totally wrong as I thought it might stand for your surname being Archer or Fletcher. Inspirational tutorial, you really work through and find the solution to get the results you want ...brilliant 😊❤
I love your heartwarming “bow and arrow” story, and could easily imagine you as i little girl talking with your mother - so sweet💗, and such a lovely memory. And once again 🤗new ideas for pretty and practical things to use and admire. On my list again😂. Thank your so much🌷🌸🌺💗🥰
Marion, what a treasure you are! I just discovered your channel today and thoroughly enjoyed it! I learned about hussifs and housewives when I was volunteering at an historical living history museum. How do stitchers nowadays manage without one?!?!! Looking forward to watching more of your episodes and listening to your stories! Thank you for sharing and for teaching people about some of the wonderful things of the past that were not only useful and necessary, but were also a joy in making and utilizing!
Marion, I am from Mississippi in the USA. I am so grateful to have found you. I have learned so much I have many sewing Machines but to learn slow stitching is so wonderful. You are an excellent teacher. Love your channel. Keep up the good work because you are so talented Thanks Robin
Lovely video Marion. I love the hussif it’s a work of art. Thank you for sharing the story of your signature Maide Marian! Your gardening video inspired me to get a hand rake, it’s brilliant!
It’s wonderful to watch you create an idem as you go along into a beautiful creation. Thank you for sharing your story of your signature and name. I also have a story of my name and for my children, I made sure that they knew the story of their name. I look forward to each visit with you.
I love your new scissor case. It’s great you received the indigo fabric in the swap. How lucky for because it’s lovely and it’s something you haven’t done.
Thank you for letting us sit down with you and watch. I just adore how naturally creative you are and how inspiring you are. I love spending time with you it really fills my soul. Sending you lots of love, you are wonderful xx
Lovely to catch up with your hussif making…I ve missed the earlier ones but will watch them. This brought back some lovely memories of my mum’s very simple hussif which now lives with a family friend and it got me polishing up my little vintage leather sewing case and thinking whether to make a hussif with pouches to put it in. Always enjoy watching your films Marion. They are inspiring and warm. Thank you 🧡
I love your little thread box idea. I've never seen one before. Such a cute idea even better that it's made out of fabric. Thank you for sharing how you made it. You make me want to try my hands at all kinds of new things.
Lovely to watch you this morning with my morning coffee. I’m off now to make papier-mâché boats with my grandson, and we will be using stuff from my collections for that in ‘Marion’ style. ❤
I love Marion how you can think outside the box and see what can be made from things that I couldn't possibly see the value in. You are so inspirational and I thank you for another video that gets my imagination going. xx
Marion I'm amazed at your hand sewing. I have sewn everything from undergarments to coats and knit my own socks etc. Yet I cannot even sew a button on by hand. No one ever taught me to sew by hand. The weird thing is that I can embroider. You've given me inspiration to try to sew a button by hand. Who knows what I can do after that!
I recently discovered your videos and love listening to and watching them. I am rediscovering embroidery in my retirement and you are do creative, educational, and overall lovely and relaxing to listen to. Thanks do much for making this videos. They are very inspirational. I feel like I have visited with you personally after watching each one.
What a lovely story about how your signature came about...love your videos only recently discovered it...enjoy everything you do...all the best with all your ideas hopefully they will all materialize into beautiful treasures 🎉sounds a bit like me.😂 just not enough time in the day to do it all.❤
Congratulations on surpassing the 15K subscribers Marion! Your hussif is beautiful! The origami box reminded me of something similar I saw eons ago, and I think it was used to carry coins in your pocket. Yours is so much nicer! Thanks for teaching us so many techniques. ❤
Lovely tutorial Marion .I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it Your ideas are so original don't know how you come with them. I'm eagerly awaiting your next tutorial.
Marion you are amazing and absolutely full of great ideas . I love how creative you are and how you never waste anything , we all need to take a leaf from your book , I'm very conscious now when I go out to op shops , I look at everything as potential fabric now , buttons for my collection instead of buying new , I am so greatful to you for sharing your thrifty ways , thank you .. I absolutely loved the way you turned the cutlery box into a useful embroidery container ( I had one and threw it away years ago ) oh my goodness you've opened my eyes wider than they've ever been ( at 72 I'm not and never have been a wasteful person and I know how to stretch a $ and make things from very little ,but you've inspired me to think and look deeper at things before throwing them away .) I'm going to try making the scissor case and little rubbish box . I love your bow and arrow signature ( I was born in Nottingham England and think it's lovely you were named after maid Marion .) Keep up your amazing craft ideas , I'd love to be your friend and neighbour and sit and do craft with you . It's cold here in Oztoday it's almost 3pm I've been sitting sewing for a few hours watching your vlogs and totally enjoying myself . Have a beautiful day , take care love and blessings Ella in OZ 🌺♥️🌺🧵🪡🧶🧵🪡🧶
Thank you for such a lovely message to read Ella. I think I've always been thrifty too... originally it was from necessity but it turned into a way of life I suppose. I'm one of those annoying people who see something expensive and say..."I can make one of those"😂 and then get the bits of wood and glue and paint etc... I hope you enjoy making the scissors case and the little thread box. It's lovely to have practical things that are also beautiful 👍💐🧵🪡
@@marionsworld24 Oh thank you Marion, like you it started from necessity, I cut my 4 children's hair , made their clothes and sheets and made food stretch for miles lol.. I love gardening but we've just had to sell our house due to the interest rates so are renting now and I miss my garden so much , so thoroughly enjoy seeing you in yours . Haha, yes I'm one of those that won't buy things because I know I can make it cheaper.. I'm not the best at embroidery , but I'm going to try the daisies you did with ribbon that I watched today, then I'll go back and watch vlogs you've done and practise. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your inspiration, motivation and ability to explain so well how to do things that I and I'm sure many others don't know how to do , you make it so easy to understand. Looking forward to your next project . Thank you again . Bless you so much for sharing your talents and wonderful tips . Ella from Oz 💛🌻💛
Thrifting for materials and ideas lol. Don't know what I'll use it for and no, it's not my size but check out the hand, see the color, the possibilities get the creativity working and I'll do something with it. All sections of the store are filled with possibilities. Thanks for tutorials and the ideas.
Beautiful little pieces, Marion - just perfect for your hussif. That tiny fabric thread box is so cute yet eminently practical😍 Can't wait to see what you make next and how your garden comes on this year. God bless❤
Oh Marion I just appreciate you & your videos so much! You make everything so interesting and so simple… but it’s not that simple for me! The scissors case turned out beautiful & I can’t believe you made the Chinese box work .. but it worked & turned out lovely! I wish I could come & spend a week with you to learn first hand! Thank you so much for sharing your talents! Just loved the story about your “signature “ & how it came about!!❤
Amazing off the cuff engineering on both pieces, so clever and functional! Success on what one would call their “prototype” ! Your Hussif is beautiful! The story of your “trademark “ is so sweet 🌹
Thank you for sharing your Maid Marion/bow and arrow story. 💖 I really appreciate you showing how to make a scissor cover to fit my specific scissors….and make it beautiful as well. 💖💖💖
I love paper gadgets. I'm going to try to make mine bigger, maybe 4 inch square using a sturdy cloth, maybe denim. The quilt club is going to like this for retreats.
Marion you are such a brave woman to paint over that fabric but I totally get that. Make do and use what you have is mostly my motto too. Your Scissor keeper is truly gorgeous! I do Love your Maid Marion story too how lovely your story is. I have often wondered what the significance of your arrow was as I always admired it too. Thank You for sharing with us.
Thank you Marion for your video . I managed to get the book, thankfully not at the price that some vendors were asking so my journey on the sewing accessories can get going. The little origami ORT bag ,inspired and such a lovely neat size. So glad you had a lovely time in France with your daughter and your thrifted fabric is beautiful. That silk shirt,what a colour. Maid Marion and a bow and arrow, I could just imagine you wanting something like Mouseman for a logo. Looking forward to future projects,see you next time in your world.
The work you have carried out on your husif truly makes it a little treasure. Enjoy using it - and creating more wonderful things for us to watch and attempt. As always, I hope you have a great week and look forward to your next video.
Congratulations on 15k subscribers. I laughed with you when you placed the pink paint directly on the fabric. How lovely to go to Paris. You have such talent and obviously are full of ideas.
Now I know what a "Hussif" is, thank you, Marion. This entire project is such a lovely heirloom - invaluable. I think I might add a square of card into the bottom of the little box, anticipating that I'll never get mine perfectly square.
Marion, fabulous video, how lovely your scissor holder is and I lOVE the little thread box, well done for working that out. Glad to hear you had a nice break with Naomi and her partner
You are amazing Marion and i always enjoy watching a video from you! ❤ What a great little fabric box you made and the scissors case! 😊👍Now I've got my sewingroom back after it was a guestroom over Easter and I've sewn the pieces of fabric on the last Wednesday project. Time to embroider on it. Today it has been warm and sunny here. I have replanted some small lettuce plants on the balcony. Has a large plastic box as a "greenhouse". Thay have to live in it for a while because tomorrow there will come a lot of snow again 😕 and minus degrees for some days. Hope you have a good time Marion! ❤🌿🌸🌱🐝🌷🦋
Love your scissor case and thread box. Something new for me to try and copy. Thank you. I had to smile at your story of your name. My mum went to the 'pictires' just before I was born. It was a Barbara Stanwick film (shows how old I am!) so I became Barbara. Not sure I ever really forgave mum for that!
She was such a great actress though... I've always thought I had quite an old fashioned name for my age group ..but I've always liked it.... probably the romantic association with Robin Hood no doubt ☺️
Hi Marion, I was totally mesmerized watching you create the little fabric box !!!!!!! Brilliant 🤗🤗🤗The scissor holder is lovely xXxX I am also now going to be scouring the garden for a branch to make buttons ..... what's next from your amazing mind ????? Can't wait 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
Thank you Marian, that was a busy session!! You got a bargain with the silk shirt and in such a lovely colour. I look forward to seeing what you transform the shirt into. I was digging out elder all day yesterday. There is a lot more to dig out but it's all tangled amongst my nice plants. Not hope of extracting ever bit. Pleased you enjoyed spending time with Naomi. ❤
Goodness you have a lot of patience when it comes to fiddling with complex things. I tend to give up too quickly if things are difficult as I lose faith in my abilities. It’s a confidence thing that I need to work on 😂
I was thoroughly enchanted by your idea of making a button from a twig, the story of your name and signature and your clever use of origami to make a thread catcher. Thank you Marion! 😊
Thanks Leanne. I originally made the buttons because I couldn't find ones that I liked amongst my own collection. And then I just thought how hard could it be to make a button, because then I could paint it any colour I wanted 😊
Thank you for another lovely video. I love the idea of making do with what I have… I like simplicity yet complexity you bring to your work. Your ideas are just amazing. I am drawn to your channel and absolutely love listening to you. Thank you. 😊

Oh I think I can remember the sort of purse you mean... I haven't seen one in years!
@@marionsworld24My Mother had a little leather purse like this, with a camel on from Morocco.
What a lovely story about your signature

What a coincidence! If I'd known it was on I would have watched it too 😅

I do Love your Maid Marion story too how lovely your story is. I have often wondered what the significance of your arrow was as I always admired it too. Thank You for sharing with us.
Well I'd had that fabric for ages and it hadn't been used yet... Now it's found a purpose 😊
It was such fun watching you stitch. Thank you for your story too. Loved it 🥰
Clever lady. I love that you made your buttons.
😊
Thank you Marion for your video . I managed to get the book, thankfully not at the price that some vendors were asking so my journey on the sewing accessories can get going. The little origami ORT bag ,inspired and such a lovely neat size. So glad you had a lovely time in France with your daughter and your thrifted fabric is beautiful. That silk shirt,what a colour. Maid Marion and a bow and arrow, I could just imagine you wanting something like Mouseman for a logo. Looking forward to future projects,see you next time in your world.

The work you have carried out on your husif truly makes it a little treasure. Enjoy using it - and creating more wonderful things for us to watch and attempt. As always, I hope you have a great week and look forward to your next video.
I love the hussif and everything in it.
Thank you thank you thank you
Congratulations on 15k subscribers. I laughed with you when you placed the pink paint directly on the fabric. How lovely to go to Paris. You have such talent and obviously are full of ideas.
In the end it dried to a purple that was the ideal colour! Serendipity indeed 😊
Wow Marion 🤦♀️, button from a tree stick…. You are very talented and creative ❤
Necessity made me think of alternatives years ago and it just becomes a habit 😊
We are so very happy that you head is overflowing with ideas! It means we get more videos to watch and more time in your wonderful world. ❤️
Love fabric box and scissor holder💜🇺🇸 veteran USA

Forgot to say how ingenious your buttons are, I really don’t know how you come up with all your ideas, just love them
Now I know what a "Hussif" is, thank you, Marion. This entire project is such a lovely heirloom - invaluable. I think I might add a square of card into the bottom of the little box, anticipating that I'll never get mine perfectly square.
Mine definitely isn't perfectly square, but that's okay you know... I embrace the fact that it's unique.
Very impressive! It all looks sooo beautiful! Thank you so much for sharing! ❤
Lovely story about your beautiful signature!
Playing catchup as we have finally moved house. Your excitement, enthusiasm, imagination ans inventiveness are so delightful and refreshing
☺️👍
Marion, fabulous video, how lovely your scissor holder is and I lOVE the little thread box, well done for working that out. Glad to hear you had a nice break with Naomi and her partner
😊💐
OH MY GOODNESS!! The little fabric box is amazing!!
It's worth watching the video inspiration for it if you want to make one 👍
You are amazing Marion and i always enjoy watching a video from you! ❤ What a great little fabric box you made and the scissors case! 😊👍Now I've got my sewingroom back after it was a guestroom over Easter and I've sewn the pieces of fabric on the last Wednesday project. Time to embroider on it.
Today it has been warm and sunny here. I have replanted some small lettuce plants on the balcony. Has a large plastic box as a "greenhouse". Thay have to live in it for a while because tomorrow there will come a lot of snow again 😕 and minus degrees for some days. Hope you have a good time Marion! ❤🌿🌸🌱🐝🌷🦋
Oh dear..more snow ❄️
Absolutely love the idea of the homemade button. Wonderful addition to your Hussif
Wow, this fabric origami looks miraculous!
Yes she is. And I love her for it😊
Love your scissor case and thread box. Something new for me to try and copy. Thank you.
I had to smile at your story of your name. My mum went to the 'pictires' just before I was born. It was a Barbara Stanwick film (shows how old I am!) so I became Barbara. Not sure I ever really forgave mum for that!
She was such a great actress though... I've always thought I had quite an old fashioned name for my age group ..but I've always liked it.... probably the romantic association with Robin Hood no doubt ☺️
Love this…again, necessity the mother of invention. Thanks for showing two making one for more durability with sharp scissors.
Sharp points really do need a tight weave so they don't poke holes every time you put them into the case...
You are a marvel.
Oh, I love the scissors holder and the thread box. I am so excited to watch you create all the ideas in your head ♥
What a wonderful scissors keeper you have created and your ort/thread envelope. So inspiring Marion.💕
Hi Marion, I was totally mesmerized watching you create the little fabric box !!!!!!! Brilliant 🤗🤗🤗The scissor holder is lovely xXxX I am also now going to be scouring the garden for a branch to make buttons ..... what's next from your amazing mind ????? Can't wait 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
Fantastic! I love a good stick button 😊
Wonderful. Please keep on videoing and sharing your beautiful creations! ❤🙏🏼❤️
👍😊
Thanks again Marion love everything you make ❤❤
Thank you Marian, that was a busy session!! You got a bargain with the silk shirt and in such a lovely colour. I look forward to seeing what you transform the shirt into. I was digging out elder all day yesterday. There is a lot more to dig out but it's all tangled amongst my nice plants. Not hope of extracting ever bit. Pleased you enjoyed spending time with Naomi. ❤
I fear that will be the same in my garden too 😏 We'll have to console ourselves that it has very pretty white flowers. .
Goodness you have a lot of patience when it comes to fiddling with complex things. I tend to give up too quickly if things are difficult as I lose faith in my abilities. It’s a confidence thing that I need to work on 😂
Just think of the satisfaction when you see something through though...
Loved this video, you are so inventive. The Chinese thread box is genius, I know I keep calling you that but you really are ❤
Thanks Kathryn. I did find the paper box tutorial and wasn't sure it would definitely work. But luckily it did! I thought you might like my buttons 😊
You r so talented & I love the story about your bow & arrow. Thank you, Maid Marion
☺️ 🏹
Loved your story. And the little fabric box is amazing…just like you
I'm blushing...
Another wonderful tutorial...I enjoy so much watching all you share😊. Thank you, thank you. X
I was thoroughly enchanted by your idea of making a button from a twig, the story of your name and signature and your clever use of origami to make a thread catcher. Thank you Marion! 😊
Thanks Leanne. I originally made the buttons because I couldn't find ones that I liked amongst my own collection. And then I just thought how hard could it be to make a button, because then I could paint it any colour I wanted 😊
Thank you for another lovely video. I love the idea of making do with what I have… I like simplicity yet complexity you bring to your work. Your ideas are just amazing. I am drawn to your channel and absolutely love listening to you. Thank you. 😊
Thanks so much Vickie 💐
I love the scissors case. Brilliant creation all around.😊
💐
Marion, I've seen a few of these husifs by different makers, but yours is absolutely the most lovely and inspiring❤
Thanks for that 💐 I think because mine was intended to be a needle case originally it's ended up quite nicely compact, but with room for everything 😊
Absolutely love your approach to this. It has so much history now. Thanks 🙏 so much for sharing.
