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.

Thank you for this vid! Truly enjoy the real time instructions plus they are a tremendous blessing for visually impaired sewers.

Thank you for this tutorial. I'm excited to share this experience with my 90 year old mother who will absolutely love being creative with a little xmas decoration making. Sew simple yet sew elegant!

So beautiful I can imagine them in lots of colours!

I’m so happy you’re doing this video again. I bought the kit and am so excited

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,

I’ve never made a Cathedral Window ornament before. Your tutorial is sew thorough that I’m going to try and make one. Thank you for sharing with us! Wish me luck. Peace & blessings...

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.

Thank you for sharing this home made ornament with us! I look forward to making some for my family and myself.

thanks for the updated video. really glad to see you closing the rotary blade before setting done your cutter! and use your awesome attachment to sew on button with machine.

I love how this looks. I will definitely have to try this.

Tried one of these and I'm delighted with how it turned out. Thank you so much for your tutorial.

I love your home made ornaments. Very good explaining and demonstrating. Love these. Thank you.

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!

Nice project! I can't hardly wait to try it, especially as a small Christmas gift. Thank you 🙂

Thanks for the adorable pattern. Love Jen’s sweet countenance.🤍

Such a beautiful ornament! Thank you for sharing.

These ornaments are beautiful ! I've done cathedral window for small quilts, but I love them as an ornament. Thank you for the tutorial.

Nice instructions, thank you! LOVE that fabric!!!

Very cute and great for Ornament Exchange! Can make the ornaments in color themes for individual trees. Excited to make them

Thank you for sharing your expertise. I’m going to make these for my family.

Loved watching your show. Keep up with the tree ornament.

Thanks for sharing! I just bought the pattern (delivered yesterday) and so excited to try these!

I always love watching your videos & this is a beautiful ornament; I think I’ll have to make a couple!!!

Thank you , beautiful tree ornament, will definitely make one or two for t.he tree this year.🌸

I absolutely love this and all your tutorials. Shabby Fabrics is my favorite company!!!!!

I so want to try this. Can't wait to get some Christmas fabric !

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.

These are just so pretty. Thanks for sharing.

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.🎄

These are gorgeous, you've inspired me to try one. Many thanks for your great tutorial x

Your site is one of the best I have ever come across. I'm just sorry I didn't find it sooner. It is going to be the first site I access each h day. Thank you for your ideas.

Beautiful! Thanks so much for the tutorial.

Great idea for gifts this year, thank you so much

Beautiful and it's almost like magic!

These are so pretty. Thanks for a great tutorial.

Thank you. I love it. I’ll be making them for next Christmas ❤️

Wow!! I love this video! Thanks for sharing these beautiful ideas! 😍

I love these ornaments, they are so pretty. I do like the was you say button😁

What a fun gift idea.

Love it , it is so delicate.thank you for sharing

So cute and another great tutorial! Happy Christmas to you and your family x

Thank you for a great Christmas ornament, I want to make one and with my Bernina I will embroidery my children name and year, to make it extra special. 🌲

Thank you for the tutorial. I have been learning more and more from your channel.

Super tree decoration , I will try and make one of those. Thankyou

These are so cute! Thank you for the wonderful tips to get the edges closed. I tend to struggle with that step 😊 ❤️

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!

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!!!

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

Thank you, such a fun ornament

I add a button to the back as well, as an accent and it helped me hide the thread ends.

Very nice ornament. Good teaching also. Thank you.

So beautiful ❤️🙏 thank you so much

Oh my goodness!! I love these! I can't wait to make these for my babies that aren't babies anymore. Lol.

So pretty, I’ve got to hammer one of those!

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.

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

Beautiful!

I love this! Thank you

i love making these! I have made 12 so far.

So pretty

크리스마스 작품 사랑스럽고 예뻐용~~^^♥

It helps to watch step by step ty

Thanks for this!

I have had this pattern for awhile and could never really figure it out..thanks for this easy to understand video😊t

te felicito tu trabajo te quedo bello.

Thanks so very much

These are gorgeous ornaments. I'll be making some ornaments for myself.=^^=

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.

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.

Merci beaucoup belle video

Marilyn I am so sorry for ur lose! I will pray to help ur far throw this tie.

My goal is to have a tree with handmade ornaments.

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.

That is sweet

Heat set the glue with your iron and NO steam. It is faster than just letting it dry.

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

🎄

Great update :-)

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.

Excellent instructions! I’ll be making a few of these to give away. Also, to give at bridal showers or for when someone just sets up their first place. Does the glue get on the needle when you sew?

Thank you for the tutorials! I always learn so much. Could we use fusible web instead of glue?

Beautiful instructions. Thanks. I am thinking that I can insert a lavender sachet inside instead of stuffing.

I usually pick an ornament and make one for each person in my family at Christmas. Our friends. Basically anyone I see. Lol
