Handmade Christmas Gifts

21 Jan

One of my goals this Christmas was to make all of the christmas gifts that I gave to adults. And I think they turned out pretty good this year. I’ve been extremely busy making stuff and I’m just now catching my breath from trying to turn out so many different things. Here are some of the things I made:

I crocheted two wraps. One was a fuzzy pink and the other a glittery gold.

I embroidered a set of cloth napkins with designs from sublime stitching. They were made using the monkey love pattern and I think they turned out super cute.

I’ve also been doing some sewing lately and put together these placemats with matching napkins. I’m rather new to sewing so this was a bit of a learning exercise. But I was very pleased with the results.

Christmas Sewing

02 Jan

I purchased a vogue craft pattern (V7986) several years ago, and just got around to making some of the items this year. I’m so happy that I got this pattern when I did, because it seems to be out of print now.

The 1st item I made was a mantle scarf. I’m still rather new to sewing, and I was a little concerned about actually being able to make it. But it was easy and turned out really nice.

After conquering the mantle scarf, I moved on to a table runner. The table runner was super easy to put together. Infact, I was able to make it one evening after work.
