I have a TON of gift ideas...we'll see how many of them actually come to fruition! I am planning on making crayon rolls for the kids, decoupaging tin pails and including some potpourri...that's in addition to everything I want to make for myself and my home!
i would love to make a family tree quilt, would that be too complicated? i've never done one before.
Oh a list a list I love me a list! Well now - I made my list in May and have been working since January so maybe I'll have it all together by the holidays.
I have quilts and socks and tote bags, potholders, dishcloths, ribbon buckets, scrapbooks, pencil rolls, photo cards and more on the list - we'll see how it goes!
My grands count on handmade pillow cases every year.
I buy flannel when it is on sale.
This is great because I definitely still need ideas! All I know is that I want to make quillows for my kids.
A few rag dolls, aprons, potholders, and I'm still searching for other ideas. My goal is try and have everything finished by Thanksgiving! We'll see how it goes!
I definitely want to do the crayon rolls, some ornaments, some totes and maybe some softies. I also will make a few tissue cozies and some zippy pouches. When, you ask? That is the the million dollar question.
I'm doing my usual aprons, PJs, grocery bags. I found a pattern last Christmas for kid neckrolls that look like animals. I hope to get those done this year. I've been stalking ebay for vintage patterns and found a great one for a dress and rag doll! I keep telling myself I'm going to get the crayon rolls for the littles, but we'll see! This year, the kids are getting one big family gift (wii!) and everything else is going to be handmade!
I haven't figured out what to make for this Christmas, but last year I made a few table runners and place mats for my mother in law.
I am thinking about making either skirts or purses for my nieces.
I also think it would be fun to make ties for the boys in my family.
I want to make I-Spy quilts for my kiddos to keep in the van. Grocery totes for my mom. An apron for our babysitter who likes to cook. Tulle tutus for my nieces. That's it so far.
I want to make my sons & pals all a personalised stocking...
Hmmmm let's see. My plan right now is to make a few aprons, some rice heat therapy bags, and either crayon or pencil rolls. I can't wait to see everyone else's ideas!
I was thinking of making some grocery totes for my moms and all my girlfriends, and for my daughter I want to make a puppet theater. The only sewing in that will be the curtains though :)
...I would love someone to make me one of these http://flickr.com/photos/angrychicken/78116246/
So maybe I shall try something like this for my mum?

i just bought this wristlet PDF pattern:

i think it will be great for friends and teachers.
i'm also planning on making these aprons for my SIL and MIL

Use this FREE tutorial to make matching PJ's for my son and daughter (the kimonon top):

hmmm. . . guess I'd better get started!
Oh my goodness is it that time already?
I am planning on making a picture quilt for grandparents. And I have a request to make another calendar with all the grandkids pictures in it. And I may attempt to sew a couple of dresses for my niece.
I will be making my nieces a piece of quilt art, personalized with their initial. Some friends will be getting little cosmetic pouches...I just ordered some fabric and am ready to go...
I made some tie blankets and come crayon rolls for the kids, I also made some fabric journal covers I posted some pics of those on my blog. and I plan on making a purse organizer or two. luckily I started early this year. lol
