Get started on Christmas early this year.....

Do you have lots of wonderful ideas for holiday decorating or gifts? I always have a huge list and very rarely get it accomplished. So, this year I'm going to help you along a little bit and maybe it will help me, too. Do you have knitters in your life? Here are two projects directed at knitters and both would make great gifts:

This is the Sticks and Stuff kit.  This pattern is Sticks & Stuff by This & That.  This kit contains fabrics to create 1 large pouch, 1 small pouch, and the needle case. Sizes: Small Pouch - 8" x 10", Large Pouch - 12" x 11" Needle Case - 12" x 12".

This is the Venti Tote kit.  This bag would make it a great project bag or a great going to the pool bag. Finished size: 20" high x 23" wide.    

As with all of my kits, the fabrics can be swapped out with other fabrics.  However, I do reserve the right to adjust the price.

Hope you're inspired to create something.

Happy Stitching!

114 days till Christmas....

We are 11 days closer to Christmas. Time is certainly flying. How are you doing with you list of items? I would love to hear about it. My sewing hasn't begun yet but maybe I'll have some time after school starts next week. This week's gift ideas are little bags. Doesn't everyone need a bag to carry items in?

Let's start with the Stash and Dash bags pattern by Amy Butler. This pattern has instructions for three sizes of bags: toiletry bag, makeup bag, and and coin purse. With the right fabrics the large bag could also be a clutch.












Take-along Bags pattern by Lazy Girl Designs. This pattern has two bags included. One is a zippered bag with inside pockets and the other is a drawstring bag.










Sweet Stuff bag pattern by This & That. This is a sweet little zippered bag that is just perfect to use up small pieces of fabric.











There are many more patterns in the store that are just little bags. Use the eBay link to the right to get to the eBay store. Also, there is fabric in the store now and I would be happy to create fabric kits to go along with the patterns.

Happy Sewing!

Holiday Decorating, etc.

Here's a little more Christmas decorating:

Here's a cute little Scrappy Christmas Tree Skirt pattern by Sew Wonderful Dreams. Embellishments would be wonderful on this tree skirt. Size: 54".


Here's another pattern for the Santa lover. It's the Stocking Stuffing Santa pattern by Sew Wonderful Dreams. It's approximately 20" high.

Here's a couple of gift ideas:


This is a great idea for younger kids. It's the Prudence & Henry pillow and blanket pattern by Valori Wells. Prudence is an owl pillow with a blankie tucked under her wing. Henry is an elephant pillow and also has his own blankie. The sizes are Prudence is 20" tall, Henry is 17" tall, and the blankie is 41" x 58". Wonderful for car trips or Grandma's.

Here's a great little notebook cover. It's the Nifty Notes pattern by This and That. Size is 3 3/4" x 6".

Happy Sewing!
