Thank you so much for watching!
Be fantastic if uou did the smocking on them
Thank you! I’m learning how to sew and this is a great tutorial! Do you have one on how to make an envelope pillow? I will look through your videos. Thanks😊
I really wanted to see you see the pillow. You said you didn’t show it because it’s very simple. It’s not very simple to us beginners that’s why we’re here.🤷🏽♀️
I enjoy watching your videos for entertainment and learning to sew and to relax your videos are great but I have a question and that is Do you have a video on how to make shorts possibly elastic waist maybe basketball shorts some people use to relax in front of the tv on the weekend and a how to video on making cargo shorts
I watched this for 10 minutes to get to the part that I wanted to see of the last opening being stitched by the machine and you said it’s pretty simple, be right back and then it was already done 😭 I guess I’ll wing it if it’s that simple. First time ever using a sewing machine!
Does the same process work for any size pillow? Like a king size or something?
This is great! I have a hard time maintaining focus during instructional videos for the skills I want to learn. Yes, it’s an ADHD thing lol.
Also, I think it’s because crafts and sewing videos are mostly done by women and for some reason my brain responds to the male voice and the deeper the better. Woodworking has been relatively easy to learn because there’s no shortage of videos on that produced by men.
So glad to see you back! I really love your videos and appreciate you sharing the knowledge! One of these days, I’m going to go out and get my first sewing machine!
Beginner here.. what is attached to the ruler?
What’s a good sewing machine for beginners?? I want to start making pillows and selling them on my campus
Thank you
Can you do a video showing with adding a zipper please
Thank you! I just finished mine and it came out awesome! you made it SEW easy to do!
How much do you charge in labor for making pillows. 12 X 34 ?
Thanks, Tock, nice to see your back. The presentation of your videos are top stitch I mean notch. All the steps are covered in clear concise methods With a very clean organized workspace. Keep going Tock, I have learned a lot from you and it’s appreciated. Big THANK YOU
Thank you for your explanations which I found clear. I enjoyed your vidéo on shirt making. Could you make a video on how to sew a polo shirt, plz? Thank you
I just found your channel recently and was bummed to see you had stopped (fully supported it – this stuff is so much work – just, also bummed!) and went to your other pages to make sure you were okay.
I resigned myself to just your old videos – but lo and behold, you have returned!!
I hope the time away was great, and that coming back is also great.
Thanks for all your hard work.
The title is misleading. It shows you how to make a pillowcase not a pillow.
Do you sell these?
THANK YOU SO MUCH!! This was my FIRST sewing project and my Harry Potter pillows turned out PERFECTLY!! Thank you so much for the step by step!! ✨✨
So so happy to see you back. Best teacher ever!
I love your videos
fantastic video, as always. Can you do a video of a pillow w piping?
was always taught cut the fabric 1/2 inch SHort of the pillow measurement – ??
thank you I made my first pillow last night with my sewing machine and I did sew it back and forth in the beginning …. thanks for showing me that trick
I wish you showed the final stitch on the machine, so we can see how you run the pillow through.
Great teaching style, Tock! Clear, concise…to-the-point. Thank you! 🎯
Godly. Straight godly
I’m gonna get organic cotton filling Instead of just a thing to stuff in there. great video
Ur work n teaching is awesome. Pls what kind of material can be used for the covering?
Does anyone have suggested measurement?
i have lots of old concert t-shirts i was thinking of making into pillow covers, but you mention NOT using something too stretchy. is it still worth trying if i can make some sort of allowance for the stretchiness?
Yes, I watched to the end. I think it would be great on a bag. TY for showing me something I didn’t even know existed. Happy New year!
OMG, Tock, you’re back! How exciting, and I hope you’re well 🙂 Are you relaunching your Patreon?
What srwing machine do you recommend for a beginner?
I have would you be able to make a video on how to thread a bobbin in a brother sewing machine where it won’t get tangled up in the housing for the bobbing please
Why didn’t you cut right to the edges of the fabric. You seem to have alot of fabric wastage?
7:45 If anyone has difficulty with this step, I bet you could stuff the pillow into a plastic cylinder and then push through the cylinder to insert it into the case.
Hey Tock, I’m new to sewing. Would love to see something on sewing using elastic such as waistband or for leg closure for sweats or something. Keep up the good work!
Where do you purchase your pillow forms?
Glad I found your channel.
Anyone else hear Ross say "Pivot!!!" lol
Dude where have you been with this knowledge I struggle to close my pillows thank you so doing this for now own (looked up your video to show my son 13yr how to make his own pillows and I learned something too) bonus 🎉😊
So happy you are making videos again. It was great to see you on Sew Fest with Sewing Machines Plus. You are very nice and fun to watch. Thank you for all the great videos.
Love It!!!
That remote pillow was very creative.😊 love your videos.
The FBI is coming for all of you pillow makers. Youre a threat to their "DEMOCRACY."
Tock, I just got a sewing machine recently just for hemming the pants of my gi pants for jiu-jitsu (I’m big but short so they are all too long and I got tired of paying for tailors to do it). Your channel was really helpful as a full beginner to sewing. And now I’m going to be doing more sewing since I have found even doing hems enjoyable. This pillow will probably be my first actual project. What are some other good projects for someone new to sewing? Things that area a little more challenging and help you develop and improve other key sewing skills? Thank you for your content.
CONGRATULATIONS on 100k award! You deserve it! Great video too as always!
how do i make my bobbin thread on the underside of the stitch stop bunching and looking super unclean? there’s a ton of extra thread on the bottom but the top looks good
This was the best video! Finally took the sewing machine out the box and excited to follow your instruction. Hubby was happy about his gift!🎉
