Billy is a very brave man. He did a great job on his sewing. I thoroughly enjoyed watching him learn.
You and Billy should do a true beginner quilt tutorial series. I believe there are a lot of people who would benefit from starting from the basics.
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.
“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!!
Great job Billy and Mom! Really fun to watch!
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 is great! Thanks to Billy for willing to put it out there. He should have his own KZread channel to show how to learn. He is awesome. And I will always call it my "Gas Pedal" from now on!!
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!
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! Keep sewing...a quilt is in your future!
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!
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.
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!
Great job with your pillowcase, Billy!
Such fun to watch! Billy is a very gracious learner and I hope to see him again on another project.
What everyone else said…. Fun and sweet to watch .. good for you Billy.
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! 💙🧵😍
Hello Billy great job. Loved watching you making your first pillow case and I love the colors too. Billy happy sewing and quilting.❤️🧵✂️😃
Yeah Billy! Good job. Kudos on completing your first sewing project.
So many things we take for granted of knowing when we sew!
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!!
You are a Brave Man, Billy! You did Good! 🪡🧵
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 ❤
How sweet, typical boy. He seems to have a lot of patience as you do. Thanks for sharing!
Billy I think you did great! Especially knowing you are being recorded. I'm so impressed! Well done. 👍👍
I can see Billy making many pillowcases as Christmas gifts next year.
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!
This was wonderful! I feel like I'm on Billy's level and wish I had Sherri by my side during a project!
I have 2 young adult sons and I can't tell you how much I love this. So great!
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!
Go Billy!!!!! Love ur willingness to try something new. U are darling and an inspiration to all newbies. Well done!!!!
Billy is adorable!! Great job Billy. I taught my boys how to iron!!!😃
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.
Excellent job! Sewing is the 'gateway' to quilting for sure! (and on camera, too!)
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 awesome! Great job Billy. Your mom is amazing! So much fun to watch! Thank you!
Loved watching Billy and his questions. Made me smile 😊. Congratulations Billy
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 !!!!!!
Very sweet for mother and son working together. Very cute tutorial. Your mother very nice instructor
Also Billy an awesome camera man to watch. You do a fantastic tutorial for your mother. So nice both of you
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.
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!!! :)
Way to go Billy, Great job.
Billy, you're a great student. Fast learner! And Sherri you're a wonderful, patient teacher. I hope Jenny Doan sees this!!
Way to go Billie you did a great job, and Sherri for good instructions. This was really a fun watch.
Billy's so good on camera. Well done!
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.
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! 👍👌💜🧡💙💛
Yay Billy!! You rock and your mom is a great teacher!
Great student, and great teacher!
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.
That was great! Way to go Billy!
Good job Billy! Kudos to being on camera for your first sewing project.😀
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
Great job Billy. I’m so proud of you.
My husband always makes my coffee and pulls up my KZread Chanels (quilting related). He chuckled watching this video. Thanks for all the joy and quilting videos your family has generously shares with us quilters.
So proud of you. You did an excellent job, with a Mother's touch helping you. Next time a placemat. You got an A in home economics!!!
You go Billy!! This was great.💫👍🏻
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.
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!
Great job, Billy! Your mom is a wonderful instructor! 😊
Yeah! Man sewing! Love it! I bought my 26 yr old son a sewing machine last Xmas. he repairs his work jeans
Well done, Billy! 🙌
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.
Billy, you did great!!! Im really impressed. 🙂👍🌷 And I also think you had the best teacher. You are a wonderful family ❤
OMGoodness!! This is the best video ever! “ Will it get me?” LOL. Thank you for sharing this with us!
Great video. Love a handmade pillow case. Everyone can use one.
That was hilarious! Typical male wanting to go really quickly, and the ironing technique,going so heavy! Loved it. Well done Billy. 😊🥲
I’ve been away for a while from watching you tube. Have missed watching your videos. Glad to put a face to a voice. He does a wonderful job producing your channel. I hope he does more videos with you two.
Good for Billy! Great job teaching him Sherri!😊
Congrats Billy!!! You made an awesome pillow case!
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!
Great job Billy! I hope to see a quilt in your future, you have a great teacher!
This was a good tutorial. Plus it was entertaining. Thanks to you both.
Such a fun chat and cute pillow cases. Thanks for posting!
Great job, Billy!
This is the sweetest video. You work so well together. Kudos!
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.
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, 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.
Just watching and super proud of you Billy for doing this
Congratulations Billy sewing your first project. Keep sewing and it will get easier, great job !
I absolutely love this video! Pro in the making!!
Go, Billy!! You get an A+
Very Fun 🥳 Billy making a pillow case and seeing the face of the voice behind the camera…. Billy has a great voice AND is handsome too! ?
Great job Billy!! Your first sewing project with French seams and filmed for KZread 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.
Billy, what a good sport. And a student that pays attention and learns quickly. If you get to use your pillow I'm sure you will have a great night's sleep, dreaming of your accomplishment. Well done!!
Great to see you on this side of the camera Billy! Great job and I loved you asking if there was a gas pedal!
Great tutorial. Yay Billy 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Great job Billy!! Good job Mom!!!
As the mother of an adult son, I love this video. Sherri, you are so patient teaching Billy.
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.” 😀
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 is definitely a great channel asset. I appreciate the beginner instructions 🥰
Loved this video. Great idea to show someone who has never sewn how to make something. 👍
Great Job Billy!! Hilarious! Gas Pedal, letting the presser foot "slam" down...am I going to break something? Sorry mom! Ironing looked like a workout!! Should have let Billy turn the pillow case on the first step!! Might have been a 3 hour taping session!! Loved it!!!
