Making a sentimental Christmas gift for my little sister
When I was a kid, we had nothing. Most Christmases, my mom would stand in lines outside charities to get us on lists so we could open at least 1 gift on Christmas. She’d get home with frozen fingers and toes alongside a warm smile whenever she managed to secure a gift for us. As we got older those gifts stopped. Eventually, Christmas became about the food because that’s all we had left to look forward to.
This year as I brainstormed what to get my younger sister for Christmas I was genuinely stumped. She truly has everything she wants or needs and my heart filled with joy realizing that. What a privilege! I bet little us would be shaking their heads in disbelief if they saw how far life has taken us, and we’re just getting started!
However, this meant I had to be more creative with her gift and make something that would hold more sentimental meaning. This project took several hours but every second was worth it to give her this moment!
This video is dedicated with all my heart to my little sister. Thank you Bree for being such a resilient, kind, beautiful soul! I hope the future brings you endless smiles and every single one of your dreams come true. You deserve it!

A beautiful gift! I admire you for forging ahead with this project even though you were not sure about many aspects of pattern cutting and sewing. You managed wonderfully. Your children had so much fun watching you and help make decisions that you should make a teddy for you and your family. You are a great mother and model for your babies.
Sister you are so sweet. God bless you always
So sweet!
Absolutely beautiful. You have a beautiful heart.
This was a beautiful, endearing, and most thoughtful way of showing your sister how much you love her and how much she means to you. Thank you for sharing your journey in this video! It was like watching an award-winning short movie/documentary. You obviously have a beautiful heart and spirit, and are talented in many ways!!! Thank you also for reminding me of how important family is whether they are still on this earth or in heaven. Happy Holidays and Happy New Year!!!❤
I started watching this journey of yours in TickTock, and found you in YouTube. This is absolutely one of the most beautiful videos, you’re an amazing, kind, and beautiful human being. I have followed you since the beginning, but now a new follower here. Happy New Year 🎉🎉🎉
Most people think when it is handmade,it should be cheaper. It is not. It is custom made by an artisan and please value their work.❤
When cutting out fabric, pin it and when you come across the notch marks, cut them out. You need to use scissors, preferably. Your mom is guiding your hands. Tears of love. If you pin it, with the sharp end towards the 1/4” seam, your machine can sew over the pins.
All I saw was pure love and joy in this video. Thank you for sharing it with us. You should totally start your own teddy bear business. I'd buy one. Merry Christmas & Happy New Year from Toronto.
They are to make a notch. Think of it as a diamond, you match up the notches. The pattern should guide on you on where to place the eyes and ears. You can use a invisible pen- once you mark it, it will disappear after awhile.
I love how you tried and didn’t give up. ❤❤🎉🎉🎉
Love your enthusiasm. The bear turned out absolutely adorable and you can tell it was made with so much love.
I loved all the little cute moments with the kids in the video ❤, the teddy bear is so incredibly thoughtful and beautiful, your sister Is very lucky to have you 💟
