My Aunt would sit on the floor while making her quilts. When I came home from school, there she would be ... on the kitchen floor ... with her sewing machine, iron, and quilt blocks. Such wonderful, warm, memories.
I just completed a linen/flannel blanket and love it. I used a white and dark gray stripe linen which I found at JoAnn Fabrics and a white flannel. I washed both fabrics prior to cutting and seeing. Since my flannel was only 42 inches I pieced it and pressed the seam open and sewed it down on either side making it lie flat. I love the blanket!
Ok. I don’t even know where to start... first let me say I am obsessed with your videos. I don’t know why I haven’t bumped into your videos before, but I’m so happy that I did. At first I thought I wanted a “modern” look, but watching your videos I know I’m farmhouse at heart. Keep up the great work!!
If you insert your pins perpindicular to the edge of the fabric edge you can sew right over them without having to remove them while you sew. Love the blanket!
Kim Carter Sorry. If the straight pins are inserted perpendicular the the cut edge of the fabric you can sew right across them. When they are horizonal to the edge you have to remove each one when you sew up to it before you can go on. Does that make sense? In the video she has the pins horizontal, so needs to move them out of her way as she sews. It’s just a bit easier to not have to remove pins while stitching. But the results are the same.
Gr8 idea Lisa for a project for use this summer. Didn't think my son would appreciate the ruffles like my daughter will. So, I will remedy this by doing a contrast piping instead. I can see it in my minds eye.😍😍😍. Thanks for a gr8 simple and practical project, right up my ally.😃
award for most aesthetically pleasing thumbnails 100% goes to you!! i need you to decorate my house, please! ha i feel like this might be a bit advanced for me but loved watching all the same x
I love tbe idea of using the floor to iron. It never crossed my mind. I will probably use a drop cloth when I steam a 6 meter piece of linen fabric in preparation for making clothing. Thanks for the idea!
I've been following you now for several months now.. I truly love everything you have done..I have to get out my sewing machine and start sewing..and decorating..
Thats really a light weight linen, using a mid grade weight would ensure the life of the piece I make all my quilts with linen backings usually I use Ralph Laurens upholstery linens which gives substantial weight to the quilts and ensures the life of each piece, Not to mention his linens are just so beautiful. The other thing is you can use the light weight batting of organic cotton or wool which ever you desire
I made this five years ago for my mother and she uses it constantly and it’s still beautiful and in good condition, even though she has dogs crawling over at all the time. Linen it’s just kind of sturdy, and I think that was a good choice as the weight drapes beautifully. I use heavier linen for a lot of projects, and they just wouldn’t act the same way. They’d still be nice, but it would be a very different end result. I just came back to the channel to see the name of that linen and I can’t find it anywhere. I’ll find something similar, but I really did love that so much .
I would love to see you make a dust ruffle for the bed. I have always wanted to make one as I can never find exactly what Happened want already made. It seems like a flat sheet would be the best way to go, then making a large ruffle to attach. This would also give me the ruffle length I need as my bed is on tho s bed extensions. Oh I also have an antique bed that I reupolstered and I would need to split my ruffle for the foorboard, as this is always a problem with store bought ruffles. I guess I could split them myself but then they are still too short, usually not as ruffled as I would like and never from the fabric I want. Watching you create patterns just makes me want to figure out my dream dust ruffle as I have never seen it in the store.
Oh Lisa ~ So Cozy&Pretty as you say in video ~~ Love~ Love,, Gonna make us one for family and my sweet Izzie's bedroom~~ Thank you so much~~ Lisa would love some Kefir smoothie ideas& recipes_ I'm sure you have the BEST :) Have A Blessed Day sweetie
Wonderful Lisa~~ I enjoy each and every video of yours ,, you put alot of love&care into making them, can not Thank You enough, honey ~~ With all you have to do, You are truly amazing
Could you do a tutorial on sewing the multi-use swaddle blankets you talked about in your baby essentials? And also a baby wrap video on how you wrap your baby to you ^_^
Here is a link to a video where I show you how to use a baby wrap ua-cam.com/video/cM3eoQ_xeLQ/v-deo.html Here is a link to a swaddle blanket ua-cam.com/video/nD3IeTCLr5k/v-deo.html Hope these help!
Hello Lisa! Wondering which of the two colors of fabric is the one being used in this video? The taupe or the blue-gray? Trying to get a good sense of what they look like in real life before choosing which color I want to buy. I'm obsessed with linen and stripes so this will be perfect! Thank you for the lovely video as always. ❤️
Hi Lisa, I have a double duvet cover that I would like to use for this project. Is there any way I can incorporate the existing hems? Thanks for posting amazing tutorials on sewing and cooking from scratch!
Do you find it rough on your table and floors to iron on them without a mat? Also do you ever use a cutting mat nd blade to cut your fabric? I watch you flip it and cut and it makes me smile. I am a bit OCD so use a mat and ruler lol.
You’re really inspiring and helpful. What sewing machine would you recommend for a super beginner? And do you think it’s necessary to also purchase a serger machine?
Hi Kimmy, I am obviously not who you asked but I would recommend getting a used simple machine. Once without too many frills. I make a lot of clothes and always used my machine. I just recently bought a serger but my machine can do a nice seam...just slower:)
I am a beginner. I don't have a sewing machine so everything I do will need to be done by hand. I would like to make a nice soft, stuffed throw blanket. No ruffles. Any chance you could do a tutorial on a hand made throw. That would call for a close up on the hand stitches you make. Maybe one side linen and the other side flannel? Stuffed in between to give it that quilt feel. Is this even possible?
Thanks for this! Is there any reason I couldn't just cut the main piece of the blanket to be 66" so that I would have 6" left off a 2 yard piece of linen for the ruffle?
Oh I was just reading the blog post too and I see that you get the ruffle from the excess of the width of the yardage vs taking it from the length. Never mind! Thank you so much for this tutorial! Basically everyone I know is getting one for CHristmas!
The links for the fabric come up with an error. Do you have another one?? I realize this video isn't super recent so assuming the website changed and/or removed them...
Farmhouse on Boone I can't believe I've never thought of that...I'll have to give it a try! I don't get nearly as much sewing done as I like because...baby lol
Farmhouse on Boone I never thought to stand up and sew! I’m a dental hygienist, though I don’t work anymore, and it was always tricky standing up to polish people’s teeth because I’d have to stand on one foot to press the pedal with my other foot... I wonder if it’s the same way with sewing... I think it is quicker though because you’re not sitting and standing the whole time.
Hi! I have two brother sewing machines. One I bought from a Brother dealer in my area (for $400) and the other was just a cheap basic Brother machine (amzn.to/2rbJEvb). I use them both all the time. For basic sewing you can definitely get by with this one: amzn.to/2rbJEvb
My Aunt would sit on the floor while making her quilts. When I came home from school, there she would be ... on the kitchen floor ... with her sewing machine, iron, and quilt blocks. Such wonderful, warm, memories.
The ruffle is so pretty, very delicate without being too frilly!
Thank you so much Lindsey!

The Lord continue to bless your family, talent, channel and the joy it brings you in your everyday life♡

Minimal and simple is totally in the modern aesthetic and it is perennially comfortable and accessible. This never really goes out of style.
I was the same way. I thought I was a modern person too but I have realized I’m more modern farmhouse. Love brass but also looooove white glass.
Thanks for the tutorial , I tried it and it came out really great. My hubby likes it a lot too! Keep up the great ideas! Thanks again 👍🤗

That is so sweet and encouraging Kerry! 😊 Thank you so much!
instablaster.
Thank you again for another well done sewing tutorial. Love the idea of the linen and the flannel.
Yes, so pretty ! I must say in all my life I have never seen anyone use the floor as an ironing board!🤣
haha everyone comments on that! I don't have room in my craft room for an ironing board, so the floor works just fine! lol
i do the same, works great.
The heat and steam don't mess with the wood on the floor? That would be my concern.
I love tbe idea of using the floor to iron. It never crossed my mind. I will probably use a drop cloth when I steam a 6 meter piece of linen fabric in preparation for making clothing. Thanks for the idea!
Im busy watching as you may have noticed love this im giving this a try...🙂

What do you increase the stitch length and tension to?
Are the ruffles on 3 sides or two? Thanks 😀

I’m sure you have mentioned it before bu5 I’m wondering where your bed is from?
It is from Target. :) Just noticed it is currently on sale! rstyle.me/n/cdd2fnb9jx7
The links for the fabric come up with an error. Do you have another one?? I realize this video isn't super recent so assuming the website changed and/or removed them...
What material did you use
Also...do you sew standing up so you can baby wear? I haven't even thought of this before lol
Yes I do! I never sit down when sewing. :)
Farmhouse on Boone I can't believe I've never thought of that...I'll have to give it a try! I don't get nearly as much sewing done as I like because...baby lol

Hi, where did you get your bed frame from?

Hi Lisa! Could you tell me what kind of brothers sewing machine you have?
Hi! I have two brother sewing machines. One I bought from a Brother dealer in my area (for $400) and the other was just a cheap basic Brother machine (amzn.to/2rbJEvb). I use them both all the time. For basic sewing you can definitely get by with this one: amzn.to/2rbJEvb
In this tutorial I was using the cheap one.
