This was so much fun to watch! You forget about how much vocabulary is used in quilting that others may not understand. Billy, you rocked that pillowcase (and the gas pedal to the metal) and Sherri is definitely a teacher at heart.
Billy is a very brave man. He did a great job on his sewing. I thoroughly enjoyed watching him learn.
“I would let you iron my pillowcases… nothing else” had me laughing out loud. 😂 Great job Billy and Sherri- this was so fun to watch!!
This was so precious to watch! I died when Billy asked, "Is there a gas pedal somewhere?" Too funny! Thanks for the entertainment! Always love your videos.
What fun to see someone learn to sew! Billy was a joy to watch and I hope you bring him back. The perspective that men have is so different from women but it is a joy to see how they get from A to Z and get the same result. Yes...please have another Billy Day!
My son came in while I was watching this and he saw Billy and said “That’s a boy, quilting Mom! Maybe I could learn!” Hope to see more!
Yay Billy!!! You did great!!! Laughed out loud at your "gas pedal" comment!! Great start to my day!! I see a quilt in your future and maybe I can talk my sons into letting me teach them to sew a little too!!! :)
How sweet, typical boy. He seems to have a lot of patience as you do. Thanks for sharing!
BRAVO, Billy! You are a quick learner. Great job. Your pillowcase is beautiful. Of course, you are fortunate to have such a wonderful instructor.
This is great! Thanks to Billy for willing to put it out there. He should have his own UA-cam channel to show how to learn. He is awesome. And I will always call it my "Gas Pedal" from now on!!
Re Ironing: “Press it when it’s on the fabric.” Priceless! While watching this, I sent a link to this video to my congregation’s leadership to suggest we sew pillowcases for hospitals this year! It was immediately approved! Thank you! Happy New Year to the McConnell Family!
Such a great job Billy! So cute to see Mom & Son working and learning together!.
I loved this video! Such a special relationship you have with your son! What a trooper! I bet he gets hooked! Lol You’re a natural teacher!
I have 2 young adult sons and I can't tell you how much I love this. So great!
Loved watching Billy and his questions. Made me smile 😊. Congratulations Billy
Such fun to watch! Billy is a very gracious learner and I hope to see him again on another project.
Go abilly! Woo hoo. Your mom gets the award for teaching with patience, lol and you get the award for awesome job! Love both fabrics you guys. Billy, back away from the iron. Lolol.
What gorgeous children you have there Sherri... This is the best tutorial ever. I was dying watching him iron. Brut strength with flatten that Billy. Lol. I'm being funny but he was very brave for doing this... He is definitely out of his element... Now he will at least have a new appreciation for all your hard work and everything you do for all of us. Your channel is my favorite... I Love everything you guys make.
Billy, you're a great student. Fast learner! And Sherri you're a wonderful, patient teacher. I hope Jenny Doan sees this!!
Great job. I have wanting to get my 23 year old grandson involved and this video will help if I can get him to watch this video. I liked going step by step slowly.
This was awesome!!! He did an excellent job! He made something he can actually use. Now, he needs to make another one so he will have a matching set for his bed. He will be a pro before you know it!!!
It’s funny that you cut out his fabric.
He’s heavy handed on the iron, can’t imagine him with a rotary cutter!
Thank you Billy for letting us see you sew. Your Mom & Sister are pros at it. I never doubted that you would be good at it too! 💙🧵😍
This has to be one of the best videos I’ve seen all month. Good job, Billy! Thanks for being a good sport and doing it all on camera.
Now when I watch A Quilting Life I’ll be able to picture Billy behind the camera. And when I head off to my sewing machine I’ll have a giggle every time I “step on the gas pedal.” 😀
Congratulations Billy! You should be very proud of your first sewing project. Great job! You have a great teacher. Hope we get to see you sew again.
Hello Billy great job. Loved watching you making your first pillow case and I love the colors too. Billy happy sewing and quilting.❤️🧵✂️😃
Great job! Can't wait to see what Billy does next! Seriously, it is so heartwarming to watch to watch your family work together.💞
Very nice for mother and son using their talent with one another. Very sweet
My husband has always called it a gas pedal. Funny! I SO much much enjoyed this! Good job, Billy! I see a quilt in your future!
Billy, you did great!!! Im really impressed. 🙂👍🌷
And I also think you had the best teacher.
You are a wonderful family ❤
My husband always makes my coffee and pulls up my UA-cam Chanels (quilting related). He chuckled watching this video. Thanks for all the joy and quilting videos your family has generously shares with us quilters.
What a wonderful video! I hope we see Billy sewing again in the future! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Good job Billy! Kudos to being on camera for your first sewing project.😀
Great job Billy! I hope to see a quilt in your future, you have a great teacher!
💕 been anxious to see Billy and his first project! Great job 👍🎉
This is awesome, Billy you did a great job! It was such a pleasure to see you both interact and finally SEE Billy!
Great job Billy and Mom! Really fun to watch!
Good for Billy! Great job teaching him Sherri!😊
SO glad to see the handsome face behind the voice!! I taught a class five 7 to 11 year olds (who were very wiggly and easily distracted) earlier this week and we used this same pattern. We started at 9:30 AM, took a 40 minute lunch break, and did not finish up until 3:00 PM. I never dreamed that it would take so much time! In the end each of the kids had a beautiful pillowcase that they were very proud of to take home.
Great job Billy. I’m so proud of you.
Great job Billy, it’s like driving a car, slow at first then give it some gas. Great tutorial! I had a smile on my face the whole time.
I can see Billy making many pillowcases as Christmas gifts next year.
Great job, Billy! Your mom is a wonderful instructor! 😊
Great job Billy. It helped me to remember how much I have learned myself.
You now have the skills for your next project. It is just pin, stitch, press repeat!
That was hilarious! Typical male wanting to go really quickly, and the ironing technique,going so heavy! Loved it. Well done Billy. 😊🥲
Billy kudos for giving it a try. I was smiling and giggling especially with the gas pedal. Look forward to seeing what will be your next project.
So fun to watch this pillow case challenge for Billy. Kudos! Good job!!!
I belong to a group in Florida that meets a few times a month that sews whimsical pillow cases for children in local hospitals. We call this the burrito method. Such fun and for a great cause.
Loved this video. Great idea to show someone who has never sewn how to make something. 👍
This reminds me of teaching my goddaughter how to sew/quilt. In the beginning you have to teach them every little detail, the lingo and how to be safe. She would ask me " Are these the right fabric colors or thread choices"? I would tell her "That you are the artist, you decide. There is no right or wrong color. Whatever makes your heart sing". She enjoyed the freedom of choice. Something her art teacher did not agree with.
For everything we made we also made a duplicate to donate. I taught her we create for our soul and we give for our heart. She really enjoyed the whole process.
Billy you are fortunate to being taught a long life gift. Great job.
This is a great example of how we take for granted that everyone knows how we do "quilting", from simple pressing to straight stitching and on to a French seam. A lesson in patience for you both. Great job Billy for taking the plunge.
Just watching and super proud of you Billy for doing this
Omg this made my night, I loved it!! Had a few laughs. Mom you are so lucky to have this memory together forever. ❤ BEST VIDEO EVER ❤
Great job Billy!! Your first sewing project with French seams and filmed for UA-cam is an accomplishment. And your mom is right, sewing with flannel is definitely more of a challenge. Thanks for all you do for the channel. I’m looking forward to see what you pick for your next project.
I really enjoyed this video even though I've already made a lot of these pillowcases. It really showed how much about the sewing and ironing process needs to be explained to someone who's never sewn or ironed before. Every little step is learned. So many of the steps are things experienced sewists do without even thinking! Great job Billy and Sherry!
Nice tutorial on the pillowcase! I loved watching Billy learn to sew... now it's his turn to teach mom how to produce a video!
I enjoyed this tutorial so much. Nice to see Billy so willing to learn a different sewing skill. As always, you explain the steps so well.
Congratulations Billy sewing your first project. Keep sewing and it will get easier, great job !
Great job, Billy!!! We were all routing for you and you did awesome!!!!! Congratulations on your first sewing project. Now you have a beautiful handmade pillow case to be proud of and to cherish as it will always bring back the memories of your first sewing lesson with your Mom in 2021!!!
Great video. I enjoyed watching Billy make his first project. Hope he will do some more. It put a smile on my fave.
Yay, Billy! So great to see you in front of the camera and being such a good sport about your first project. Please give us a review after you’ve used your pillowcase and washed it.
Billy is definitely a great channel asset. I appreciate the beginner instructions 🥰
Go Billy!!!!! Love ur willingness to try something new. U are darling and an inspiration to all newbies. Well done!!!!
This was wonderful! I feel like I'm on Billy's level and wish I had Sherri by my side during a project!
As the mother of an adult son, I love this video. Sherri, you are so patient teaching Billy.
Sherri you are an awesome teacher and Billy you did great! Good to see you open to the challenge and doing such a nice job! I too chuckled at “where’s the gas pedal”😊. Enjoyed this video 5 stars
Yeah Billy! Good job. Kudos on completing your first sewing project.
I watched this later and hope Billy sees this! My Dad was a Taylor in the U.S. Navy. He taught my Mom how to sew and she started out sewing strips on the sailors’ uniforms for extra spending money. By the time I finished high school she had made me 3 beautiful formals! Watching you made me remember all of this😊 I’m going to teach my 12 year old Grandson how to sew his own pillow case. Once he sees your video I’m sure he will be a willing participant 😂
This is awesome! Great job Billy. Your mom is amazing! So much fun to watch! Thank you!
Great job with your pillowcase, Billy!
Billy I think you did great! Especially knowing you are being recorded. I'm so impressed! Well done. 👍👍
I just sent my favorite/oldest sewing machine home with my son after Christmas! He wants to be able to repair his clothing! 2 of my 3 grandsons have learned to sew simple seams by making rice bags as Christmas presents... the youngest grandson will have his first lessons in simple sewing this year. Life skills such as sewing are essential for all children:) Thank you for sharing your skills.
I’m so glad you made this video! It was fun and educational! Good job Billy!
That was great! Billy thanks for taking the challenge. Great job!!
OMG How fun was this. I passed over this video several times, bcuz I've made about 600 cases. then today it came up in order, so well, I watched. I love the way y'all played well together. GOOD JOB BILLY !!!!!!
Excellent job! Sewing is the 'gateway' to quilting for sure! (and on camera, too!)
Also Billy an awesome camera man to watch. You do a fantastic tutorial for your mother. So nice both of you
Cudos to Billy for giving quilting/ sewing a go! Love it! You both made me smile and laugh out loud. Your pillowcase turned out great! Congrats to both of you.
Thanks for a great project for adults, children & guys & girls alike. Billy, Kudos for having the courage, Mom for the patients & visibly improving even your hand placement both for less shoulder fatigue but for viewers to see.
Excellent job! 👍👌💜🧡💙💛
Great job, Billy! You did good and you have a great teacher there too to help you!
Great Job, Billy and Sherri! Thank you for showing this, and for your time with this step by step tutorial.
Billy you did GREAT! Keep sewing...a quilt is in your future!
Such a great project for a gift, charity, or yourself. This tutorial will be so helpful for all the beginners. It definitely made me remember when I first started sewing at age of 35, I’ve forgotten all those awkward steps I take for granted now. Thanks on behalf of all new sewer’s out there and those yet to come. Have a wonderful new year 😊
Billy you did a great job! We probably had as much fun as you did. Maybe more. I always have to remind my grandkids and my cat that most stuff in the sewing room is either hot or sharp!!!
This was a fun and so down to earth video! Mom cut it all ahead of time...didn't trust him cutting....love it! Billy mentioned he edited out a lot of stuff! We really need to see more of edited stuff. 🙂Thank you both for sharing!
Oh, my! I just found this video that was filmed just before i started following your channel. Great job Billy on your first sewing project!
You go, Billy! Looking forward to seeing you progress to a more complicated project! And Sherry…your hair looks fabulous!!!
Sherri I’ve always loved your gentle, quiet spirit and it serves you so well when teaching! Great job for teacher and student too!
This was your sweetest video ever! Billy was an excellent student, and took instruction well. That pressing technique had me cracking up, but with practice, he’ll get it perfect. The finished pillowcases looked great!
Billy is adorable!! Great job Billy. I taught my boys how to iron!!!😃
Billy did a great job! He is enjoyable behind the camera and is great ON camera too. I see more cameos in his future! You have a very lovely family Sherry 🙂
Excellent Billy!! I taught my husband to sew. His first project was sweatpants!! Just 2 pieces! He still wears them....lol
Very sweet for mother and son working together. Very cute tutorial. Your mother very nice instructor
This made my heart sing! My son is also my tech guy for our business, and I look forward to teaching him!
What everyone else said…. Fun and sweet to watch .. good for you Billy.
Such a fun chat and cute pillow cases. Thanks for posting!
Way to go Billie you did a great job, and Sherri for good instructions. This was really a fun watch.
Loved watching Billy! We have to all start somewhere. If you want to do a quilt go for it! Loved how Sherri lit up with you trying what she loves with her.
Great job Billy! You are such a good sport and very brave for sewing for the first time on camera. I love how your pillowcase turned out. I just sewed a quilt with flannel for the first time and watched Sheri's video several times before I attempted it. Sheri, you were so patient with Billy. I could see your "mom" instincts surface, especially at the ironing board. So much fun to watch! Maybe the next project in Billy's future is a mug rug.
Awesome Job Billy!!! You make us sewing guys proud!!! Shows that we all had to start someplace to learn sewing and quilting. I still struggle with straight line sewing and not letting the machine control the movement of fabric. Practice makes perfect. Challenge yourself in the future with a quilting block! Your mom has many easy and awesome patterns to choose from. You’ll feel a great sense of accomplishment when you can make things you can use, wear and gift. Have an outstanding new Year Sherri & Billy!
Way to go Billy! I want to say this was a great video to show me how to teach others how to start to sew! Great video keep them coming!
Ironing with purpose!! Great video. I'm a boy mom and this reminds me of times when I include my son in some of my projects!! Made me smile
Go Billie! Congrats! You did a great job! Enjoyed the video never have made a pillow case now I would like to. You inspired me! Thank you
