Getting a head start :)


I'm getting so excited about all the great prizes 
that are coming together for the
So many awesome sponsors!
I can't wait to tell you guys about it all.
But.....
you'll have to wait a bit longer.
Are you telling your friends about it?
Remember, the more the merrier!

In the meantime I got a head start on my Christmas gift sewing.
I made this caddy using this fantastic free tutorial:
Sewing Caddy Tutorial by GinaBean Handmade 
I've used this tutorial once before and you can see it here.
This set is for my mom.
(luckily she doesn't have a computer :)
Mine is red (shocker I know) and I use it everyday 
to hold my cross stitch supplies.



I also made a matching pincushion and thread catcher.
You can find the free tutorial :
Weighted Pincushion Organizer by Sew, Mama, Sew

I received one of these very cool sets from my dear friend Denise
for my birthday this year and I love love love it!!!


I just love all the wonderful tutorials that can be found online.
Keep your eye out for some fun tutes to share
during our Sew & Stitch Along in October.
You'll have a chance to win an additional
prize each week by sharing online tutorials,
but I'll have all those details coming soon!
In the meantime,
tell me what you are planning of making as gifts.
I'd love to hear from you!

  8. Boy howdy that is an AWESOME gift set :-)! Oma will totally LOVE the set :-)!

    I am 'sew' excited about the sew along. I will be making grocery bags as gifts because stores are discontinuing plastic bags or are going to start charging for them. I am going to make them in sets of 3s.

    Also after the 'Don't Fear the Zipper' Crafty Chicks event I am going to make some quilted laptop bags.

    Thank you for the terrific blog and as always for sharing the tutorials :-)!
