I've spent the past several days happily sewing. Gift making is the best kind of sewing, don't you think? I hope the love that went into each stitch is evident. Surely it would be easier to just buy a gift, right? Where's the fun in that?
I have several more to go, but I'm coming up for air, tomorrow is another day. Here's what have so far. I'm not telling who they're for- you know, just in case.
Notepad portfolios made using this pattern.
This pillow is for my sister-in-law Kathie who fought and conquered breast cancer this year.
More handmade Christmas gifts here and many more here.
If I don't post again before the big day, Merry Christmas to you all.
These are amazing! Thanks for sharing!

Autum... You are SOOO talented. That little wallet (or is a jewelry case?) couldn't be any cuter. The other gifts are very cute, too! I can hardly wait to see the baby things you will make!
