Top 10 Gifts to Sew for Kids

[@prodigalflower1178]

My son bought me a sewing machine 5 years ago and I never used it. I now have a 2 year old granddaughter and I want to learn how to sew her clothes ❤! Thank you!!!!

I just subscribed purely because you said you pray about your projects

I have 3 grandsons and they love the pillowcases I sew for them on their birthdays.

[@monikasturm2575]

I have a 9 month old grandson and he's really gotten me back into sewing since i needed a specific sized play pen mat. I made the mat and then soft squares and then pacifier clips which has led me into learning to quilt and I've made 4 throw quilts for friends and family in the past month and I'm addicted. I've got a rag quilt I'm going to make him and a few quilts for my mom's nurses.

[@katskills5560]

I am teaching my youngest grand daughter to sew. She’s loving it!

[@MoneyFamilyFilms]

So awesome!!! Thank you so much for these great ideas! I had actually been thinking of doing the pillow case and pj bottoms! Probably from flannel! Joann Fabrics has some really cute flannel prints! My granddaughter also has mentioned wanting her own apron. She's 6 yrs old. So I'm going to get a simple pattern for that. I think she'll love having her own apron! Thank you again! Dixie

Thank you for your lovely video. I have the latest state of art Janome memory craft embroidery computerised machine that my 3 grown children helped to pay for my combined birthday and Mother’s Day gift of $3,500. I’ve had it 2 years and hardly used it as I’ve had two total knee replacements on the same knee which caused so many falls, breaking my neck, multiple ribs and concussions and other injuries and I’m in pain 24/7. This has caused isolation from going out and depression because I am in so much pain I need home help. My machine has a button to sew and a foot but I can’t use the foot with my injured knee so the button is very handy. You have given me inspiration to sew for my 2 year old granddaughter and as she is a very precious IVF baby I bought the machine for that. My other Janome memory craft embroidery machine was over 30 years old and I was told if the mother board goes it couldn’t be replaced as they don’t have spare parts anymore. I used that for my kids growing up and making mikes of curtains for various houses so it really paid for itself. I also have a Janome 4 thread overlocker which has been used to death but it’s a bit hard to thread. I would love to change it but I doubt I can afford to. Any tutorials on overlocking use would be helpful too please. My daughter will be trying for another baby soon. Before I had the both surgeries I made all the cot sheets, swaddle Blankets bibs and other Baby needs. Then I had the surgery and everything came to a standstill. I really love the idea of that stuffy and I’d love to make that, and I have joined your Facebook group as I think you are a lovely lady and even though I live alone and on a very tight pension, I would really like to thank you from the bottom of my heart for doing these videos for people like me that can’t afford patterns. God bless you and I will follow you always for the lovely unselfish lady that you are many thanks once again.🙏🏼🤗🔥🌸🌺👶🏻

[@ramonaduncan2151]

My mother is Dorothy, so I too am a Dorothy's daughter- and she taught me how to sew! I also have a six-pack of grandkids, similar ages to yours, but mine are all girls. I'm glad I found your channel. I like the variety of sewing related content you share. :-D

[@Jana-TheCraftyGambler]

As long as my hubby and I have been together, he has always given me “stuffies” that would be meaningful to me. We now have 8 grand babies and they have all been passed down to them. The stuffie ball is an amazing idea. I may have to make one for my daughter who has 4 of the 8 grand babies. P

[@madelinegrudens]

Great ideas!!! Thanks for sharing 🤩

[@pamelahill7164]

I loved your video today. I’m teaching my 5 year old granddaughter to sew with me

[@merindymorgenson3184]

Pamela Hill I’m working with my 6 year old triplets and 4 year old daughter to learn to sew. They love it!

[@dorothysdaughtersews]

My 11 year-old granddaughter just finished her first Lil’ LDT - she did great!

[@merindymorgenson3184]

Dorothy’s Daughter what’s a LDT?

[@christinemartin9449]

Hi from England. I am usually 2 week behind in watching vlogs but when I saw this title of this it had to jump the queue! Another great video, thanks.

[@virginiamahon2863]

These ideas are great!

[@robyn3349]

I love sewing for my eleven grandchildren. I make them matching classic PJs for Christmas. I make a summer outfit: a dress for the girls, a camp shirt for the boys.

[@dorothysdaughtersews]

So fun!

[@mothermurr75]

Where do you purchase the fabric that is safe for children's sleepwear?

[@meghajoshi6442]

[@TWMAC2011]

Thanks for the great ideas!

[@juliesew_me_something699]

Some great ideas Thankyou

[@marykayshatzer3044]

For Christmas one year I made my grandkids drawstring pillowcases so they could put their pj’s and favorite stuffed animal in it and take pillow and all for sleepovers

[@dorothysdaughtersews]

What a great idea!

[@cherylhuntley53]

I enjoyed the top 10 and have asked my grandkids to list their top 3 characters. I would love to see videos of you doing the stuffy ball and the pillow case pajamas.

[@EJsDaughter]

What a nice list!! Thanks.

[@bluemoon5766]

The stuffy ball is a great idea

[@MommeeMadre1]

We love your hubby for vacuuming !!!

[@dorothysdaughtersews]

Yep- he was the best ❤️. He has been with Jesus now almost 2 years. 5-8-22. I miss him every day. He was so supportive of my sewing and KZbin journey- I try to make him proud of me with my continued efforts.

[@MommeeMadre1]

@@dorothysdaughtersews that makes the sound of him vacuuming all the more precious! Wow.... he's JUST outside the door.

[@dorothysdaughtersews]

Thank you

[@alisonwilliams5355]

Love the video & info re the patterns you use. For my granddaughter Izzy, as a toddler I used New Look 6578. More recently, New Look 6205 & most used New Look 6504 which I have made loads of and made them reversible - so easy.

[@beckytheobsessedstitcher1170]

Kim what a wonderful video! Thank you for all your recommendations. I have started to do more sewing my 6 grandkids and have been delighted with the result and their reactions. I can't wait to do more sewing for them and you have given me some wonderful ideas! Thank you!

[@lavadajenkins2955]

Thanks for all the suggestions! I think my 10 yr old grandson and 6 yr old granddaughter need transformer jackets this year!

[@susanmazzanti5643]

Most of my Littles have Littles and some of those are about ready to start a new generation.. I do have young people in my life who grow up and have children and I would enjoy giving them nice things that I can afford.

[@Jana-TheCraftyGambler]

I have 8 grand babies ranging from almost 11 yrs old to 2 yrs old. My daughter has the 11, 7, 5, 2. My son has a daughter age 6 and my son and dil have 3 girls 7, 5, and 9 mo. old. I started teaching myself to sew the minute I found out about our 1st grand baby. I have loved every minute of every stitch! One thing I struggle with is sewing for my daughters 2 boys.

[@petamoss358]

Really enjoying your channel thank you today’s video as all of your videos are was delightful with so much useful information

[@bridget9111]

Great gifts Kim. My grandson loves his game day tees and my granddaughters love a swishy dress. I’m finally able to visit them it’s such a joy 🥰🥰🥰xxx

[@nynurse2]

Great ideas! Thank you 🙏

[@nancyhurt7145]

Wonderful show! Got some new ideas! Thanks for another great video!💕

[@lucilledaub5991]

Cute ideas to sew.

[@homeschmomof4]

New to your channel. Want to start sewing for the Grands! TFS these ideas.

[@jillarrowood8935]

Another awesome video, thank you! I made my grandson a couple of the Butterick 5510 dress shirts a few months ago, they were adorable on him. Have also made the Geranium dress, love that pattern.

[@SewNotes]

Great ideas! Thanks for sharing!!

[@karenschafer2827]

My favorite baby gift is an Angel blanket for bringing the baby home from the hospital. It is a baby weight fleece blanket in a pastel with white satin wings appliqués on it. Time consuming to make, but a real Wow present for a by shower for a special person.

[@pyenygren2299]

Small stuffies that fits in pockets, I'd love that.

[@passenoc]

Hi Kim, REALLY enjoyed this video! I have made some of these for my grandkids, PJ's for Christmas. And Congratulations on your 10,000 subscribers!,,,

[@farmers-daughter2000]

Well I see you already have a belaro sweater. See I am always trying to help. But you are more crafty than my.

[@barbaraness4507]

I love sewing for my family, but especially the kids! Last year I told my daughter that I wasn’t going to “make” Christmas gifts for the grandkids because I was pretty sure they’d rather have something bought. She got kinda upset with me, and proceeded to tell me how much her boys love everything I’ve made them! She also let me know that they use/play with everything I make them. I do have a tendency these days to wait until Oct/Nov to make gifts, and that’s just not enough time for me these days with all of my health issues. Nevertheless I’m currently plugging away trying to get many gifts done before Christmas right now!

[@dorothysdaughtersews]

I have found my grandkids love what I make even more than my kids. Be blessed!

[@neenathatsews1085]

this is great information-- I wish you would do a sewalong or in-depth review of the kids' backpack... I need to make one but am intimidated. lol

[@dorothysdaughtersews]

I’ll see if I can get permission from the designer to do that :-)

[@ruthieminers8689]

Awwwe I wish you lived next door to me. LOL

[@lynneprentice4278]

Such a great vlog Kim! I love sewing for my little grandkids and the Stuffie is a brilliant idea! Definitely on the birthday list! 😍❤️

[@Whateverkatiesews]

Love this video. So useful! I love the Ellie and Mac Transformer jacket and have made for kids and adults. I have done a full vlog about it. Please look it up and you can see how it turned out for adults too!!

[@dorothysdaughtersews]

I will do that!

[@dorothysdaughtersews]

Katie, your channel is off to a great start! I’ll give you a shoutout so people can see how great it is going to be! ❤️

[@Whateverkatiesews]

Oh wow! Thanks so much! I love your channel so that means a great the world to me!!

[@judyoneal7887]

Do you have a favorite knit dress pattern? My little wants to wear dresses and gravitates to knits I’ve purchased. She’s getting so tall now they’ve turned into tunics on her. She doesn’t seem to like the twirly skirts. In watching her play and flit from thing to thing, it’s just too much fabric that gets in the way. Also, do you have suggestions on a good knit fabric wise that holds up without continuing to shrink. Thanks!

[@tinacoon6199]

I so enjoyed this video!! New sub here.

[@bhunterBrenda]

Brenda from Arizona - What pattern did you use to sew the shell you are wearing? I love it and would like to wear over some of my sleeveless dresses.

[@dorothysdaughtersews]

It is the curved hem tee- a free pattern from Ellie & Mac www.ellieandmac.com/products/curved-hem-pocket-tank-pattern?_pos=1&_sid=0f6972a09&_ss=r/?aff=1601

[@karenuebler5745]

where are the links?

[@anessaharris9947]

😀

[@cuddlemymicky]

Have you ever made a reading pillow? and then get a personalized book

[@dorothysdaughtersews]

I have not, but I have a tutorial for one saved to make for my granddaughter

[@motherof7bears579]

I’m from Ohio too

[@ladybotox1]

Are these patterns only available in America

[@dorothysdaughtersews]

They should be available anywhere, since most of them are in downloadable pdf format. I know many in the UK that have sewn these patterns.

[@ladybotox1]

Dorothy’s Daughter thank you

[@rickiekruh5286]

How can I get the pattern

[@dorothysdaughtersews]

Which one? I believe I have linked all the patterns down in the description. If not, let me know, and I’ll post the link here.

[@jakobbourne6381]

Looking for neat gifts to kids? definitely don't pass on educational books especially tailor made versions of it ( *personalised childrens books* ) as that's something you can expose to them at an early age and be beneficial for their growth

[@carmenirizarry7632]

I wish you could’ve gone in more detail about the patterns. It wasn’t clear enough.

[@annolsson7138]

Way too much talk.

[@wendyfay16]

Tooo much introducing .... and too much chit chat ...
