Sew FIFTEEN Last Minute Gifts in NO TIME!

[@imariser1111]

I love the quick quilt! I was looking for someone to show this. I bought some beautiful vintage floral fabric I just know my 89 yr old mother is going to love! I planned on making a lap quilt for her.

[@sewbeitquilts]

Wonderful! She will love the gift!

[@marcysikes]

I love that you made a pen pocket that is separate from the book cover! I can use the same pen holder with several books. Great when you are in a group that refers to several books in a meeting! Thank you! Lots of great ideas and clear instructions!

Love the little quilt, turned out just perfect

[@juleerachels3462]

Love these gifts! I would make all of them!

Thank you Fallon for all these crafty sewing ideas and showing how to complete them.

[@sewbeitquilts]

I like the ruler with the handle, very useful!

[@sewbeitquilts]

That ruler is one of my favorites!

[@patriciaredd4287]

This is the best all-around gift giving video that I've seen! There are other gift videos, but either are repetitive or only 1 or 2 ideas seem to be good projects. Thank you for your unique take and clear instructions.

[@sewbeitquilts]

Wow, thank you! I really appreciate your amazing comment!

[@auntdee9678]

@@sewbeitquilts yes and I love the easy bookmarks!!

[@eileenmeyers6080]

I make bags but I cut out a square on each of the bottom pieces to box the corners . Makes it so easy then to sew the corners to box them. You should try making coasters with hexagon pieces. Takes 6 hexagons for the front and 1 for the back. Only need 1 seam all around and one to topstitch after turning. There are tutorials showing how to do it. Very easy and come out beautiful. Loved all your ideas though. Thanks.

[@sewbeitquilts]

Thank you so much for the ideas!

[@robinrutherfordcost4748]

I do my tote bags with 1/2 yard for each side and nylon webbing for the handles. Since you're going to sew the top anyway, I save that part for last. I like my lining tacked to the bottom so it doesn't come apart when you wash it. Pretty sides together for the front of the bag, pretty sides together for the lining. Make your triangles in the front bag. Then sew the lining corners on the opposite side of where your edge is - so you don't have all of the bulk on one side - gets evenly distributed. So you're attached at the corners wrong sides to wrong sides. Now turn the outer bag around the lining. Fold tops in. Insert your handles where you want them. Fold in half to be sure the handles line up, adjust as needed (I pin my handles so only 4 pins to worry about). No need to birth the bag or wonder if the handles might be twisted because you can see them. I use a double needle for the top stitching in a up and down stitch (so not zig zag or you'll break your needles). Then I can do 3 different colors of thread if you want. This way I can line up about 20 bags at a time where all I need to do is the tops of the bags. Then you have 20 gifts rather than just one. Hope that helps.

Great video and ideas. I am definitely going to make some of these ideas. I loved the quilt fabric choices. I am so glad I found you. I will be watching more.

[@sewbeitquilts]

Thank you so much!

I love this video. Your ideas are wonderful! You instructions are very clear and well done. I also love the hair clips, what a great idea, You can pull them out without stopping to pull pins or unclip the usual sewing clips. You are a star!

What great gift ideas, Fallon! My neighbor gave me some suede that I’ve been using for no-sew cord keepers with snaps. People are loving them! Your idea for the round pot holders with hand pockets is the one I’ll try first. Maybe I’ll have time to make some for myself, too. ☺️ The easy chap stick holders will be great to make, too. Thank you Fallon! 😘 Happy holidays!

[@ritasaephanh6647]

Just have an idea for top stitching the book sleeve, you can turn the bag inside out and then top stitch the exterior fabric (with the way you have the bag on the machine) Thanks for your video and demonstrating all those great gifts!

[@KelleysQuiltsandCruises]

All excellent projects Fallon and helpful. You have great explanations. I have made loads of those large casserole size hot pads and gave them as gifts. My family all hate the silly small ones.

[@sewbeitquilts]

The large casserole hot pads are seriously the way to go! Plus you can get much more fun designs in them!

[@SkyLynn-zb6ch]

Great ideas! Are you up for a challenge? Not being a math person & a newer sewer, I can't 'cypher' the measurements for a boxed corner tote using thrifted pillowcases for lining. =) Any pattern suggestions? Thanks!

[@sewbeitquilts]

You would measure and cut based on how wide you want the bottom of the bag to be. For example if you measure and cut at 1” the boxed area of the bag would be close to 2” (minus seam allowances). So, whatever measurement you choose to cut double it and that would be your end result. Cut at 2” the bag would be boxed at about 4”. There is no specific size you should use, it is really just dependent on how wide you want the bottom of the bag to be.

[@janebusby9483]

Great small project videos

[@sewbeitquilts]

Thanks for watching!

[@laurabridson1795]

Love these ideas. Can you tell me about those yellow rulers with a handle in the background? Would love those

[@sewbeitquilts]

Me and my husband make and sell them. Trimlocks are used for trimming blocks to size, mostly for HSTs but you can use them for other trimming as well. I used the quilt lock a lot in this video too. That one I use to quickly quilt my quilts with straight lines. sew-be-it-quilts.myshopify.com

[@marthamyers1539]

A simple plain old rubber band works great as a cord tamer, surprise!

[@sewbeitquilts]

That is a great tip! Thank you!

[@shellybrower4103]

Thank you for taking the time and teaching us step by step. Binding has been a little scary for me, but after watching your video I feel brave enough to tackle it. I make up a box that I give our kiddos on Christmas Eve. Something they want, something they need, something to wear and something to read. I’m so making up the book marks, and sleeve to go with their new books. Going to also tuck in the chapstick holder, and a new charging cord and cord keeper. Thanks again, you are an amazing teacher! Have a wonderful Holiday season !🎄☺️

[@sewbeitquilts]

Oh my goodness! I love this so much. I am so happy to know you are using so many of the ideas!

[@patriciaredd4287]

I like your Christmas Eve tradition.

[@auntdee9678]

Finished size 11 x 14? I thought that’s what you started out with but that you were going to trim it to 10 x 13? Such good gift ideas and great teaching method for beginners.

[@sewbeitquilts]

I did plan to trim it, but everything stayed lined up nicely so I decided to keep the larger size. That usually doesn’t happen for me when there are thick layers. Usually things shift and get wonky.

[@auntdee9678]

@ yes that’s my experience. Great idea for use of orphan blocks!!!

[@bethwood9377]

Such a nicely done tutorial, thank you! I've been quilting since ... forever... but I've never seen or heard of the straight line guide that I think you called a quilt lock ruler. Is there a link you can help me with? Thanks again & Merry Christmas!

Have you used that cord? It says that it is fast charging but a lot of the reviews says that it does not fast. I was wondering because I thought of ordering my grandson one for his birthday next month and make one of the cord corral for it.

[@sewbeitquilts]

I personally think it charges just as a regular cord would. I dont think it is particularly fast compared to others.

Is the fusible fleece in your pot holders 100% cotton. I thought fleece was polyester.

If you remove the table , it would be easier to topstitch around the top.
