• Instruction sheets are a step-by-step written instruction on how I drafted this or that project, so that you can follow along. Instruction Sheets are available as a back catalogue, but there are no new Instruction sheets for projects starting with July 2022.
• The templates are ONLY for the small projects, like a basket, or coaster, or towel wrap and etc.
• I have also created sewing reference sheets and practice sheets, as well as sketches that you can use and some small-scale garment parts that you can use to practice "slash and spread" techniques and dart manipulations. Instruction sheets are focused on the drafting process and less on the sewing sequence as that is shown in the video. Sewing steps can be sometimes written out, and sometimes referenced back to the original video.

Dear Sewing Friends - I am with you! Let me know what is your preferred thing: crafting or sewing, or maybe both? Let me know! :) Stay positive and craft on! :)
Just discovered you on TH-cam. ☺ I love in Birmingham, England.
Oh, and my preferred things are crafting, sewing, knitting, crochet... and more. 🙈😁
I like both❤️❤️
I like both...
I like both. If need a heavy table for the porch that won't blow away, to save money, I rescue an end table and learn how to tile using tiles from Habitat Humanity. I crochet, paint, knit, draw, etc. Just keep learning.
Have you tried appliqueing fabric cards? Great for using up scraps.
I'm a big time re-gifter! I often re-gift to my students! I was a full-time- free-time greeting card maker until I found the world of me-made garments! My craft room upstairs is dedicated to everything paper crafts and now have a room downstairs for my sewing studio!
Watching from Florida USA…I sew and craft
I really love your videos
I''m watching from South Africa. I sew, craft, paint, everything
Watching from Vancouver BC, Canada
I sew all things, quilts, and crochet, garden, and craft all things.
And I love how you describe your Christmas -- being "respectful" of both cultures. Love it.
Watching (again) for inspiration, great ideas as I like to re-purpose things as well. From Western 🇨🇦
Me too, if things can be used for something else and given a second life, then why not - it is so much fun! :)
Hi Alisa. Watching you from Seoul, South Korea. I mainly sew (when I can find the time). I always reuse giftbags, giftpaper, ribbons etc. My mother and grandmother already did that, I do it, and I hope my children will as well...
Keep up the good work!
You are so kind....from northern British Columbia Canada
Carmen, thank you! Canada - that's awesome, I have visited the Niagara falls this past fall and never got to go to the Canadian side, but next time - for sure!
Watching from Tijuana México
I love both crafting and sewing. Watching from Singapore
Greetings from Macleay Island, Brisbane,
Australia.. I sew, craft and anything else I can get my hands on.
Greetings from Texas ( I'm from the tiny country of Guatemala)! I love all crafts, card making, watercolors, cooking, quilting, gardening, and a little bit of sewing. So many fun things!
Thank you! I’m looking forward to Harry Potter creativity to do with my teenage daughter. Much appreciated!
Absolutely! Tomorrow I will be using some Harry Potter fabric for some gift projects, so excited to see what you think :)
You are great thankyou you have helped me so much.i have a lot of cards to make,keep safe i am in England xxxx
Have fun! Stay safe as well and make cards! :)
Brilliant...again! Only joked with my friend today about getting going on Christmas cards...wow...you beat us by months!🤣 Very beautiful and a great idea to sew them, love the texture it gives. Thanks and love from North Pennines, County Durham, UK xx
Great ideas, thank you. Watched from San Juan, Puerto Rico (USA territory).
Carmen - thank you for being here, I hope you're doing well! Hope to see you here tomorrow :)
Boriqua!
Hi. Really enjoing your videos with full of ideas. I am from Europe- Slovenia. 😘😘
Beautiful Slovenia - that's amazing! Thank you for watching, Renata!
Hey Alisa,
I'm a sewer- full wardrobe.... have to sew everything I wear.
Knitter- love that I taught myself that also!
My favourite thing has always been to make jewellery. Love me some beads and fishing line, with a crochet hook thrown in.
My first crafting was first making cards, and basic cross-stitching with my gran!❤️
Which I love to remember, as I haven't had any grandparents for over 20yrs.
I LOVE cross-stitching, but doing big pictures takes so long, I have to put my NEED to wear clothes outside the house! over wanting to do many other things, for many years.
& My health sometimes doesn't leave much time for even sewing.
I'm insanely jealous of those who like yourself can draw. (Evil people!!!)
(said with a very joking voice!!!!)
Being so creative, yet being only able to draw like an 8 yr old, is so sad & torturous sometimes!
On a personal note; I hope your keeping yourself safe.
As someone who injests far too much politics from Australia and America- I know what your facing.
With the risk of offending- as Americans take politics EXTREMELY seriously. I just hope you're not listening to anything your President is telling you.
For it has, and it will kill many.
The reason I say that- is because I love watching you!
I can only watch a handful of TH-camrs, and I would very much like to keep on watching you for quite some time!!! 😊
So I of course want you and your family to be safe.🤗
I really liked hearing of your familys past, your original country,
(I do our family's history- genealogy properly)
your family home and hearing about what you said.
I'd love to know how you ended up in USA, and how your English is so perfect! You have no European accent from east to west!! I'd love to know why! Especially since your folks are still there!
I'm learning Korean, so find it fascinating you have no accent.
Have a great day😊, stay safe,
as well as anyone reading from around the world. 😊
Oh I live around 30km's east of Perth Western Australia. Great idea!
Oh and regifting, the amount of waste in this world is inexcusable, go for it!😊
Hello, Im watching you from Mexico 😄 But my crafting story started maybe two years ago in my country Poland, and after moving to Mexico I started sewing. So I am still new in it 😀
Wow, Magdalena! You have a very interesting story! :)
Great idea for the many gift bags I have that have been stored so long the glue has come loose.
Hi I'm from Manchester UK, Abakhans is great, thanks for sharing your great ideas and reusing is a great idea xxx
Watching from England halfway between London and Brighton
Thanks for this video. I love it. We do cards too. We usually use parts from cards we already got and sometimes from nice packaging etc.
I do love crafts. I sew, quilt, knit and I am learning crochet. I love to paint and decorate and do crafts with Alice. Yesterday we did paper flowers and decorated egg and today we are making yarn butterflies.
Have a lovely day and stay safe.
Thank you for sharing some background! I love to hear how other religions and cultures do things. We are all the same, but different in fun ways. I love your accent. :) Watching from North Carolina. I love to craft and sew! I am looking forward to whipping out some gift bags to make cards. :)
Indiana. Great gift bags at the dollar tree too
Hi Alisa, what a wonderful idea to make your own cards from old gift paper.
I'm originally from Czech republic, but have been living in Ireland for 7 years now, and I love to sew and bake 😊.
I do lots of different crafting. I started off crocheting, then sewing a little bit, then woodworking, quilling, then onto paper crafts, pocket letters, atc's cards, you name it, i also am now playing around with foiling, geli plates, laminating and mixed media. I absolutely love sewing on my cards and paper crafts. I am a mixed media combo, i add crochet lace sometimes to my projects, cards or atcs.Buttons ,all kinds of things.
Pinole CA I sew and craft, work with my 4 granddaughters ages 4-9 so love the crafting and so do they
Hi Alisa!! Wonderful vlog.. I’m a sewer only, never been interested in crafts.... Totally enjoyed your thought process on the cards....
💜💜💜🧵🧵🧵
Alisa, I love watching your channel. I mostly sew and LOVE ❤️ 💕 LOVE watching your free pattern vlogs. Thank you for keeping us entertained during these hard times. From Cincinnati OH USA
Super!
Thank you so much for the video. I am a paper crafter mostly card making, stamping and also a sewer. I rotate every so often.
Hello there, that's great to hear! It is great to have multiple hobbies, keeps you excited! :)
I consider myself a fibre artist. I sew, crochet, weave, multi-media art.
Linda, I love it - weaving is fun, I haven't done it in a while! Thank you for your comment - hope you enjoyed this kind of chatty video.
These cards look so pretty. Harry Potter crafts? Yes, please. I'm in Nova Scotia, Canada.
That was so much fun!!! Loved it. I actually love all things crafty and I do many different crafts.
So happy to see you here! How are you doing? Yes, me too, sewing primarily - but any crafts make me happy! Tomorrow we will do some fun sewing! :)
I always reuse gift bags all the time with creases and all! I’ve regifted too... so your not weird! But I sew, craft, and hand embroidery!
LOL, that makes me feel so much better, Tabitha :) Gotta read this comment to my husband :)
Thank you soooo much for these tutorials. As a complete beginner, this is the only tutorial I can actually follow!!! Please could you show us how you made the jumper you're wearing.... It looks amazing!
Best wishes from Austria 🇦🇹
Hello there - the jumper tutorial is one of my latest videos - check them out on my channel! Thank you for kind words!
@@ThoughtfulCreativity thank you soooo much for replying!
💕 💕 💕
You could also trace the penguins (or whatever) and cut out fabric to make the penguins and stick that to the card then sew around it (like applique). I've had a new silver CH05 embroidery/sewing machine for 2 years but dur to illness, I haven't even gotten around to unboxing it yet. Plus a few other machines which I can do freehand embroidery one, including JL mini sewing machine.
I sew crafty things, love the idea of sewing paper, have done some of that years ago. Mostly sewing clothing right now but love this idea...good for gifts, will try this! Love your channel!
I'm a fiber artist. I make items from felted wool.I use old wool sweaters that are washed in hot water and dried in hot dryer. To a lesser extent, I sew and am an installation artist. Like good ideas!
Carol, hello there! Thanks for sharing - being a fiber artist always intrigued me! :)
Hi Alisa - hello from Oxford in the U.K.! I sew, knit, crochet and make rag rugs! I was lucky enough to get a Cricut maker for Christmas so lots of craft potential! What a great vlog - love it 😍❤️
Lynne, hello, hello! :) Rag rugs - a thing on my to do list, but I haven't gotten to it yet, would love to see yours! Thank you for your comment!
I also garden. Hello from Tucson, Arizona
Hi, Cindy! Great to have you here! We have a garden, but my husband is the one with a green thumb! :)
Hi Alisa, for now I'm just sewing. I really enjoy the time for myself. Mostly sew for my two girls (2 and 4) but beginning to sew some for myself (using the free patterns from your videos!) and my husband.
I love your videos for card making though! It really inspires me to start making my own.
I will definitely keep watching these days! Thank you!
Btw I am watching from Denmark :)
Wonderful, Lene! Oh, I love sewing for my little one too, she is almost 1,5 years old - there are plenty of free sewing pattern for kids, too! Yes, make some cards, reuse some stuff that you have at home - make some room for new creativity :)
@@ThoughtfulCreativity Just bought glitter glue online... halfway there! ;) and the girls are going to love it too...They love to craft! :)
I pretty most only sew but I sew pretty much everything for example, i im into corsetry, victorian fashion and what not. Im watching from the Netherlands btw
Oh wow, corsetry - that's impressive! I attempted to sew a corset once, for a Halloween costume - never again, lol :D
Hi from Arizona! I love to craft and sew! Great idea for the stash of gift bags I have. Keep coming with that positive creativity!! 😁
Omg. I didn’t even think of making greeting card with the gift bags. Don’t feel bad. I hoard bags too. Haha
Those are the cutest cards! And it is never too early to plan for Christmas! Love it!
Simone - thank you! I always feel that if I start thinking about Christmas early (usually not THAT early, but you know....) then the whole holiday thing is less stressful and more enjoyable :)
Sewing and craft with Lisa,I also do both (a little art painting and making jewelry and thank you also for talking to us and share ing.
Hello from Manchester, England. Abakhan on Oldham Street is my third favourite shop. Abakhan in Bolton second favourite, but the mothership is Abakhan at Mostyn, North Wales - if your mum hasn't been there it's about 90 mins from Manchester and an all day treat for fabric fanciers, notions nuts and crafty creatives - there is a cafe on site and they make a good brew. Hope it opens soon...
hi love your tutorials your amazing i am from Plymouth UK
Love this, I also reuse and repurpose everything I could , I sewn my Christmas paper bags too. I also paint, draw, sew, make jewelry, cook, knit, crochet...all over the place :)))
Tina, that's awesome! :)
I sew and do lots of yard and home repairs. Love design and decor. Love the idea of sewing on top of cards. I live in Arizona US. 🌵 Great video Alisa. ❤️
Kristi, hello there! I want to do some yard work this year - more like - make a little fairy garden, the rest is my husband's department :) Thank you for being here and many wishes to you to stay safe and healthy!
Regift with joy! If you send something to an op shop you are regifting so why not give something to someone who might enjoy it more? You don’t want to be a hoarder, right? (Once a gift is given it is the recipient’s to do with as they desire).
YES!!!! Wanted to hear this from someone - thank you! :)))
🥰
What a fun way to pass some of this boring time. I love your cards. How did you sew the pieces to your cardstock? Did you just sew a straight stitch around the border? I know I am a day late...but I want to answer your questions anyway. LOL. I watch you from Phoenix, AZ. I sew, I craft, I am also a ceramics artist. Thanks for the upbeat attitude during this weird time.
Hey, I am a ceramic artist as well - I don't throw pottery, but I paint pottery and I manage a paint your own pottery studio! Yes ma'am, just straight around the corner, with the dullest needle you can find (seriously!), regular straight stitch settings and that's it! :)
I don't usually throw my clay, I'm more of a hand builder. Having my hands in the soft clay waiting to see what it becomes is my favorite part. It's also the messy part. LOL. You only do the clean part. So cool that you work with ceramics. 🙂
Lansing, Michigan. I am working at home and i have my computers on my oak desk. My sewing machine is in my sewing container stack. I have a storage foot stool with fabric in it and the storage containers on top of that. It makes it easy to get in a quick face mask in at lunch time .
Love it, Oh my, such great ideas Alisa. I'm a sewer, but enjoyed scrap booking years ago. I'm happily watching from New York city🧵🛍
Arlene! :) I hope you're doing OK in NY city and that this video is keeping you company! Stay safe and sew up a storm :) scrapbooking is fun, by the way :)
Thoughtful Creativity - CRAFT, SEW, DIY GM Alisa, yes I’m staying inside, just going downstairs to the market, pharmacy. Today we’ll go see my mom, she needs a few things. Yes your videos do help lol, love the Noon with Alisa. Have a great day🙏🏾
Well - THOSE are adorable! Watching from The Greenville area of South Carolina.
What a great idea! Just found you, watching from Westchester county, NY :) fwllow European, grew up in Hungary, used to be fluent in Russian :D
St Louis Missouri. It was great idea to do this - thank you so much!
Hagrids Mom, love your name, by the way! We visited St Luis and St Charles a few years ago - wonderful trip, enjoyed the Arch :) Tomorrow we will do a fun sewing project!
I sew, crochet, and cosmetic diy 😊
I buy online from Abakhan. They are awesome. I'm in Enland too, but in Somerset, in the South West, so quite a way from there.
Watched from Rijeka, Croatia - I was SO happy to see you've basically just posted the video! Thanks for the cheer. Needed it.
Ps. I mostly sew and knit. :)
Vesna, such a beautiful name, in Russian it means - Spring! I love Croatia, been there quite a few times - thank you for keeping me company and we will do some fun sewing tomorrow! :)
I love these! Definitely going to try! I mainly just sew. I live in UK but near London and we don't have Abakhan :( Can't wait for daily videos!
I like to reuse gift bags to store my embroidery or sewing project
Ninie, great idea to do so! Thank you!
This is super cute! Can you share what stitch, what stitch length and what needle you use for this? Would be great to see you sticking them too.
I regift all the time. Lol
I either do crafts or sewing and that I break down into apparel or 'other'. Right now I am designing and making a mega travel tote with 7 pockets out of a print , a stripe, and a solid red. I'm a small bit frustrated as I don't have a chrome buckle for the strap and I really don't like to put something aside unfinished. Thanks for this tutorial and you are very artistic. You loose me at Xmas tho.
I am the same way, I don't like putting anything unfinished aside for a long time, if I had a buckle - I would send it to you, but I don't.... I hope this video brought you some positive vibes, despite the Christmas, lol :)
i know i am a bit late to the party. but. you was asking in this video how do we sew/craft. well how i like to spend my crafting time is. i craft or sew with a friend online we face time via face book. we may chat we may sew it doesn't matter what we do it is enjoyable to spend time in my space with a like minded person she Sandy is in the UK. and i am living in Spain. but on line we are only 2 foot apart. i can highly recommend people try this then no one is alone.
Hazel, I have actually done the same recently - it is so fun, and you're right - that way you can be just a fee feet away!
I sew, bead, make jewelry, crochet, knit, learning Cricut, throw pottery, and leather crafting. Any guesses why so many? There are 2
