Gift Idea Countdown.....

Well, the calendar says December 18th. Guess that means Christmas is just a week off, huh? I know the vast majority of you are all ready for the holidays, but if there are any of you out there in cyber-blog land like me, that haven't quite got it all together yet, we thought we'd offer a few last minute suggestions over the next few days! This is one of our old standards - pillowcases. We have a free handout on making a pillowcase from two or three fabrics, plus, we have some great fabrics to choose from! (You can't see the one on the right very well because of the glare from the flash, but it's a great "fish with personality" print.) And we have some kits already made up for you. And the other part of this idea, is that the kits themselves make wonderful gifts. Maybe you know someone who'd like a project to work on, or perhaps a beginning sewer? These make great gifts for them.

So, that's one thing Harriet and I started on today - the pillowcase kits. Perhaps Jan and I can work some more on them tomorrow. We were BUSY today!! Had a couple of other projects lined up to do, but they quickly got shoved to the back burner. UPS brought us some more of that wonderful hemmed toweling in white and natural. Hey...another quick gift idea. Sew a strip of fun fabric at one or both ends, hem both ends and voila - great gift!

Well, since I am a bit behind, I'm off to my sewing room to play with a couple of projects. Have a wonderful evening....another gift idea tomorrow - ok?
