Pajamas

In our family we have a tradition of getting a new pair of pajamas on Christmas Eve. This year I would like to make the pajamas for my girls as well as for my husband & I. Do you guys have the same tradition? Have you made pajamas for your family before? Is there a pattern that you used or did you follow a tutorial?


The above pants were made using this tutorial.

Quilts

My daughters have loved the recent quilts that I've made for sale in my shop. I think they need their own for Christmas this year. Small quilts like this are also great as lap quilts for adults as well.

Quilted List Taker

Jennifer has just released her Quilted List Taker Tutorial. I have admired and loved all the beautiful ones she has made for quite some time now. The pattern is available in her Etsy shop & would make a fabulous holiday gift for mothers, grandmothers, girlfriends, teachers, neighbors...anyone really.

Please Share

Please leave a comment on this post and let us know what handmade items you plan on making for Christmas gifts this year. I think it is great to give & get ideas from one another. Thanks so much!

Please be sure to think about neighbor gifts & decorations as well!

Super Hero Capes

So Christmas it is! The first thing I want to get to work on are super hero capes for my daughters.

The Puking Pastilles tutorial looks like the one I will attempt. I like the velcro closure on those.


I also found this tutorial at KC Quilts which looks really simple & uses a double fold bias tape for ties around the neck.

Oh Shoot! It's That Time Again.

Okay so I've fallen a little behind over here. It's time to vote again. What should we work on in August & September?? I'll be honest....I'm hoping that you choose Christmas gifts because I cannot stop thinking about the holidays right now. So, the choices (all left over from previous votes):

For the Home - pillows, curtains, wall hangings, pin cushions, sewing machine covers, duvet covers, pillowcases.

Blankets or Quilts - this would be a chance for us to make lighter spring/summer blankets great for picnics or when you need a light covering, or to plan ahead & get some winter blankets or quilts done. Baby blankets would fall here too & I've got one of those I need to finish up. :)

Christmas Gifts - Why not get started now on some of those handmade gifts. I know that I'm always busting my butt come December & I still don't get everything done that I originally set out to do.

If you have any other fabulous suggestions.....please, please share them.
