My handmade Christmas presents for 2011


Reversible merino beanie - tutorial to come

Kobo cover, adapted from The Cottage Home



Reversible Bucket Hat from Betz White

This was made from my husbands old pillow case from childhood - pretty neat eh?


Hanging organiser from Make it or Love it

Out of all these projects, I never EVER want to make this again!!

 Merino handwarmers from Pretty Neat eh!

 These coin purses are great for using up fabric from your stash, I put Hershey's Kisses in them


A pirate tie tshirt from Pretty Neat eh

A couple of skirts - A Yoga skirt tutorial from Sew Mama Sew  and a flirty skirt


These oh so cute utensil stockings from Craftiness is not Optional



Another idea from Make it Love It - a plastic bag holder

Felt circle headbands from Made it on Monday

A crayon roll - there's millions of these tutorials on the web but yell out if you want one



And last but not least, a door stop

Whew, can you see why I have been a bit stressed lately?  And amongst this I have still sewn dresses for Thea, and birthday presents for friends, and attended sewing classes and made various other things.  But it's all worth it and I can only hope those that receive on of these gifts appreciate all the work that went into it!

Till next time, Melissa
