5 DIY Gift Ideas (Sewing Projects + More!) | Part 1

[@qwertydeluxe]

I admire the commitment to presentation-- that whole beautiful pie for just a few seconds of screen time!

[@strawberryemery]

A warning especially if you’re planning something as intense as a quilt, that after the holidays there’s a flurry of people bemoaning that their gifted quilt isn’t appreciated or that it’s on the dog bed or they’re not using the quilt as intended: if you have conditions on how the quilt should be used, it’s no longer a gift, it’s an obligation. If you can’t handle the chance that your gift gets stored in a closet, then don’t give that quilt.

[@maddeei]

Very good point! Thanks for this 😊

[@Jen-CelticWarrior]

Same is true for hand knitted items. I only give hand knitted items to other knitters! They will appreciate your work. 😄

[@loissaedder2214]

It's the same with any present really isn't it? Toys etc. You give them because it makes you happy to be giving it and you hope the recipient enjoys it. Some times it works, sometimes it doesn't.

[@KnitdoctorFi]

I promise I will treat all quilts with utmost respect! Please send them my way 😊

[@SimplyDelilah]

So so true! I’m a quilter and I enjoy quilting and don’t expect the recipient to have the same joys as I do!

I also planned to create stockings instead of wrapping for my gifts. Last year, I used furokishi.

[@cindy7702]

Love your ideas especially for me the oven mitts.. I'll give them a go for sure..

[@lynette.]

Looking forward to part 2.

[@christenagervais7303]

Me too!

[@pamd6532]

I am going to try the double mitts for some special people in my life. Thank you for the inspiration!

[@patbuegeler7770]

I love the dress you are wearing.

[@nataliabiernat2392]

THE LAMP IS SO ADORABLE I NEED IT

[@sewandeverything]

I really love your Christmas stocking idea - it means you'll be remembered every year.

[@clarac4491]

Thanks for the idea for the oven mitt! That'll be a great idea (for several people 😋)

[@RoseryApparel]

Yay I’m glad you found it helpful! 🧡

[@JudgeJudyandExecutioner9000]

that stocking pattern and tutorial is perfection. thank you so much Janelle!!!!

[@hannahbuciu9160]

Yeesss I've been waiting for gift idea videos! I always feel like they come out a bit late, as someone who needs a lot of time to sew 😅 Keen to get started. Thanks for the video ☺️

[@RoseryApparel]

Yeah I always forget how long they take to put together, but hopefully you will have plenty of time x

[@hannahbuciu9160]

Not a problem! Thanks so much x

[@gailstewart356]

Loved the lampshade. Would love to give this a go 😊

[@cb71798]

Gorgeous ideas! I'm planning on making my book club friends a patchwork book bag and the stocking tutorial helps thanks!

[@susankidd9963]

What a great tutorial and such beautiful gift ideas.x

[@almostlaurel]

I made my puppy a stocking using your pattern today. It came out perfect! Thank you for the amazing tutorial ❤️

[@RoseryApparel]

Cute! I’m so glad you liked the tutorial x

[@franug]

Thanks! I was planning on sewing stockings because I mistakenly purchased more fabric than needed to make a Christmas tablecloth😅

[@InaTrendyTown]

Fantastic ideas and great job with the quilt, woow I am amazed by the result.

[@RoseryApparel]

Aw thanks! I’m so proud of it 😄

[@pbutler]

Love the stocking idea particularly, we had mini ones at my grandparents that went on the tree but had to get new ones that didn't match when there were more family members. If you were able to make your own they could be appropriately mismatched but the same size and appearance for everyone!

[@RoseryApparel]

That’s soo special! 💕

[@carolyngrotaers4454]

Fabulous video, Janelle. I love the stocking and quilt especially. 😍

[@sharonbrinders1224]

Hi Janelle. Thank you for sharing this amazing tutorial. My fav time of year with you and your projects. Love all of them. You really are such a great teacher showing us how to sew and put together the item so patiently. You look amazing in that pinkish colour top/dress you are wearing. Remain blessed xxx

[@clothingalterations]

Great tutorial. They are beautiful

[@olivers333]

Love all of these Janelle! The lampshades are gorgeous. The stocking too!

[@josiehanley9906]

A lovely tutorial as per usual. Love all your ideas for a more personal gift 🎁. I will be sorting fabric to make the quilt. Thank you ,you make everything look so easy ❤

[@RoseryApparel]

Thank you! I’m glad you enjoyed it 🧡

[@beebumble3248]

I love your wardrobe I would buy all of it

[@jennyrigby3475]

Loved these ideas so easy,

[@RachelBearn]

Loved this! Planning to make a few patchwork stockings so was very helpful to see the tutorial ❤

[@janprattley3312]

Awesome gifts, I was wondering if you could please recommend a wrap around skirt pattern.

[@RoseryApparel]

My Hannah pattern is a wrap skirt which is my tried and true pattern (I also share how to make a midi version in the video instructions): www.roseryapparel.com/hannah

[@wendysmith1727]

Love these projects

[@TheGreenSewist]

Yay! I was waiting for this type of video from you. 🙌

[@RoseryApparel]

I hope you liked it 🧡

[@patriciaconiglio6717]

Great projects

[@corinnefreret8026]

So cute 🤩

[@demiwilliams1201]

I'm making the stockings for my mam and dad 😍 to put a bottle of whisky in and a bottle of gin or wine for my mam 🖤. But I want to put a leather 'folded top bit' how can I do that and still make it look good? Xx

[@RevRainsUtopia]

Oh my god I had no idea there was a bias binding tool like that! I’ve just been burning my fingers ha ha!

[@RoseryApparel]

It will change your life! 😂

[@DelphineSerenity]

Is that gorgeous rust coloured gingham fabric you use for the lamp & some of the other projects from Spotlight? I think I saw it on discount there and now I'm KICKING myself for not getting any, I adored the colour 😂 but went with a mushroomy purple version of it instead for a top I'll be sewing. Wish I'd grabbed some of the rust colour now for diy's!!

[@Rhiipop]

What's the floral fabric in the quilt called?

[@mbraceonline]

❤

[@Discovering.jess.]

Can I buy this quilt hahaha

[@janyreboux8701]

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@TheJaniebabe]

I am so copying your stocking and wine idea
