I have had a few people ask how to make a Suffolk puff or yo-yo. So here is a short video tutorial on how to make them and the different finishes you can add, Anne
Im starting a little sewing book. I dont care whats where in the book. Im just stitching things, making cool,pages with yo yos on some pages, doing some sashiko on a few pages, trying other types of embroidery and using many different fabrics. This is so much fun and enjoyment. I hwve been making junk journals. Then i began creating things with clay. But i have miswed sewing so much. Im 74 and i made many kids outfits when my girls were small. I sewed many other items in my life but i stopped quite a few years ago. So this has been ao much fun
This is three years later and I am learning to make these Suffolk puff/yoyo’s. You did a wonderful presentation and gave me a couple of ideas. I’m afraid my needle work is not very worthy. I must admit I rather hear call them Suffolk puff, why on earth it was changed I don’t remember. I’m old. Great tutorial, I’ll use Suffolk puff from now on and explain that yo-yo was a spin off. Have a wonderful day and thanks for sharing.
Some lovely ideas there for my slow stitching projects. Thank you. Do I remember correctly, I used to make a thin cardboard circle the same size as the finished centre, which I removed before finishing the Puff off. It gave me a lovely sharp edge to the finished circle.
When I was a young grade school girl in Pennsylvania, both boys and girls learned how to make these during art in the fifth grade. We called them “Yo-Yos.” I’ve been making them ever since! Love stitching them onto so many things. We were also taught Swedish Weaving, basic embroidery stitches and how to purl.
I am so happy to see you using yoyos (Suffolk's puffs). I bought a big package of fabric at a thrift store once! I thought it was all fabric! Right in the middle was a big package of Suffolk puffs of all sizes all ready to use!
I have made hundreds of Suffolk puffs over the years. I have never thought to put some fabric inside, thank you. I have only recently found your channel and I am learning so much. 🧵🪡💕💕 x
I love these yoyos. I dont remember where I learned to make these, but I've done some of them on purses that I've made from old blue jeans. I've also stuffed then with the toy stuffing them to look like poppies ready to bloom. I've also beaded them. I absolutely love your strip of them !!
Love the other ways yo-yo’s can be made. I’ve always learned with the edges folded, now I will the other 2-techniques a try! “Sew4theSoul video was absolutely beautiful with all the ladies who did the slow stitching. Thanks for sharing this tutorial! 🤗😊
I was doing raw edges and then I saw someone that had turned the edge under....I thought I was doing them wrong. I guess I wasn't. Ha ha.....I love watching you create. I'm working on my first few pages in my book. Thankyou so much for sharing.
Thank you for the tutorial!! The person who taught me how to sew always made suffolk puffs the second method way, however she tucked the raw edges underneath to look neater lol! I'm attempting them myself so I can make a gift for a friend, thank you!
Lovely tutorial! I love making Yo yo's Or Suffolk Puffs:) I have a plastic template that I use to make mine but it's good to know that I don't need one to make them. Thanks for sharing ! Stay safe, Judy (U.S. ,Arkansas)
Hello Ann, so interesting to see different ideas on how to use Suffolk puffs.I am thrilled to have found your channel.keep up the great work.Best wishes from QLD Australia.cheers Judy xoxo
Hi Anne, Came over from Rachel at Roxy Creations channel and am soooo LOVING watching you Sew4theSoul series. I am so inspired to do something like this but do not have the GORGEOUS fabrics and lace pieces you do. I might have to try to do a more modern look....lets see what I can come up with. Thank you so VERY for the inspiration and sharing you beautiful work. Greetings from a “sheltering in place” fan in Miami 😊❤️
My grandmother taught me to make these when I was very young. I had never thought to put anything inside until I saw your first video with that idea. I just love doing that now it adds so much. I added shredded dyed cheesecloth to the center makes great texture. Thank you for sharing.
I found you yesterday, I'll join the challenge since this is a great time for a project and there is the ability to catch up. Love the channel love the studio
Thank you for this easy to follow tutorial Anne🌷 I’m a new subbie so I’m trying to watch all your videos...I plan on joining in on your slow stitching rolls, though I will be very behind, but that’s ok as long as I get it done🤗🌸🤗 Smiles, Deborah 🌝🎶💐
They have always been called yo-yos in the United States. There is a Victorian story that a young woman was to sew 999 together and the 1000th one would be in the lining of her husbands coat. If you sewed 1000 together you would be an "old maid." Yo- yo making seems to have a revival about every 20 or 30 years. I see quite a few items done in 30's and 40's style fabric and lots of craft items from around the 80's. I have only seen them with the edges folded under which would make sense for clothing, blankets and things that get washed.
could one cut the circles with pinking shears?? I like seeing frayed pieces ( for other people ) but not for me. your voice has me thinking you are the actress in the series " Line of duty " listen to her and you will see.
I never really liked the Yo Yo's/Super Puffs but the way You put them together looks absolutely beautiful! When You make these long strips do you sew them together to make a Table Runner or Small Quilt?
It would be nice to have a mat or folded towel down, to stop the slamming of the tools and especially the scissors. With earbuds on low, it hurts the ears.

Hi Kristina, when you can, try thrift shops or garage sales, but stay safe. Good luck hunting for fabric.

Just to let you know that I have decided to do a SEWforTheSoul Book
They have always been called yo-yos in the United States. There is a Victorian story that a young woman was to sew 999 together and the 1000th one would be in the lining of her husbands coat. If you sewed 1000 together you would be an "old maid." Yo- yo making seems to have a revival about every 20 or 30 years. I see quite a few items done in 30's and 40's style fabric and lots of craft items from around the 80's. I have only seen them with the edges folded under which would make sense for clothing, blankets and things that get washed.
❤😊
thank you.
Enjoying your work so much....just a question on your roll, have you got a lining fabric on the back of that or is it just the batting? TFS
Just batting
New private subscriber here. I’ve made many yo-yo’s. Interested in your method. TYFS 👩❤️👩👸🏽💟
So... do you collect left-handed, right-handed, or both types of scissors?
Any, just love scissors
Could make good hollyhock flowers!
On Amazon they are yo-yo s
could one cut the circles with pinking shears?? I like seeing frayed pieces ( for other people ) but not for me. your voice has me thinking you are the actress in the series " Line of duty " listen to her and you will see.
Thanks, I cut with straight but use any you prefer xx
ha, no wonder mine were such a mess, I didnt fold :)
Wish this were zoomed in. Nice though!
Sorry, still figuring out the technical equipment
I never really liked the
Yo Yo's/Super Puffs but the way You put them together looks absolutely beautiful! When You make these long strips do you sew them together to make a Table Runner or Small Quilt?
This was just a long hanging but you could do it for anything
It would be nice to have a mat or folded towel down, to stop the slamming of the tools and especially the scissors. With earbuds on low, it hurts the ears.
Please call it a Suffolk puff, I don’t think the name yo yo originated in England x I think it sounds nicer anyway
Can you please make zoomed videos
Instead for you whole table just focus on your hand..please ma'm
I think yo-yo is a U.S. thing. I've never heard them called anything else here.
