Anybody making (insert religious holiday) presents?

Just want to know if anyone is making anything really cool/cute so I can steal your ideas. =)

I am easily delusional, though have purchased much fabric. I'm loosely using the quilt pattern in Amy Karol's Bend the Rules sewing. One down, five to go...

See? See how I count like this is still going to happen.; ▶ Reply to This

I think they are really sweet and also simple to make, so they would be a breeze to steal :). Here's the link to the post- http://www.duofiberworks.com/journal/2007/11/3/the-cute-army.html .

For the Girls: Make Little zipper pouches with a sweet fabric headband and tissue holder inside. Easy, inexpensive and adorable.

For the Boys: Absolutely no idea....Hats maybe?

Can't wait to see what everyone else comes up with...; ▶ Reply to This

I also started some projects making decoupage/collage journals, recipe books, photo albumns. So easy, fast and fun, I've never done them before but they are turning out really great.

I have grand dreams of sewing up some really cool lined tote bags for my little sister who is in college and a few other people... we shall see!

I'd love more ideas though. I really want to make everyone's gifts this year - except for my husband's... he wants me to knit him a sweater, har dee har har, if I start now I could have one done by next Christmas!; ▶ Reply to This
