Handmade Holiday Gifts

by Nicole

This holiday I went full force with the handmade gifting.

And then I made four infinity scarves. Here is one of them. I used Anna Maria Horner velveteen and voile. I learned through trial and error on the first scarf that glue basting makes these two fabrics come together easily!

Then I made two sets of Christmas pajamas for my girls using a Hello Kitty flannel. I kept them simple leaving off the piping, pockets and monogram suggested by the pattern since I was short on time. They are a little big, but hopefully that means they will still fit next Christmas. The pajamas look so cozy. I may have to make a pair for myself with some Anna Maria Horner flannel I’ve been hoarding!

The last thing I made was this fabric journal cover. It was the quickest and easiest gift to make. It came together in less than 15 minutes. I used a tutorial from Stitched In Color. I did a whole cloth version using an Echino print.

Here is the inside of the journal cover. I finished the seams with my serger.

Now that my holiday stitching is done, I’m ready to get back to quilting!

Oh my goodness! You really did do fancy little pajamas, didn't you? Just seeing these makes me want to get back on with my tunic/blouse pattern I was struggling with today. Your gifts are adorable. Still need to attempt my infinity scarf with the glue basting, but haven't been able to get it all ripped apart without destroying it. You continue to inspire me!!

I love your choice of fabric and the gifts are so beautiful. I am very new to blogging and your is one of the reasons why it is so brilliant. Thank-you.
P.S Should I put a 'water mark' on the photos of my work before I post them? Is is simple to do? x
