For those of you who've been waiting for the general release of the last pattern in the From Me to You club, Something for You, it is now available here.
If you are stuck for last minute gifts, then the lavender sachets might be the answer. These were very quick and popular in the class. Lee finished one and had another two made and ready for filling in the three hour class. I wonder if they're wrapped and under the tree!
As I sat down to write this post, I realised it is exactly two months to Christmas!
If you're only making plans for Christmas now or have a few last minute gifts to make then I'm sure one of these kits or pattern could be just what your looking for.
There is still time to stitch the bunting - Must be Christmas. Choosing fabrics can often take as long as the making.The nice thing about kits is the decision has already been made for you. You'll find a kit for the bunting here.
Last year I made family & friends the Joyful felt decorations. If you'd like to make the decorations and bag to pop them in, there are a limited number of kits left.
And the Buttons & Blooms pattern is now available with kits for either the Flower case or Button purse.
The Button purse is quick to make and is the perfect excuse to play with your button stash. Lovely as a stand alone gift or stocking filler.
Now I think I'd better go and do a bit of Christmas planning........
The following kits have been added to my store.
The kit includes the pattern, fabric, felt, threads, rusty bell, Bush Santa Decoration, Iron-on-Pellon & Cardboard.
The kit includes pattern, fabric, Moggy Decoration, threads, Iron-on-pellon and cardboard. The blue fabric is needle-turned in position.
If you have purchased the pattern but would love to purchase one of the kits email me marglowdesigns@bigpond.com .
After the last class I came home and started doodling. It wasn't long before I was cutting out felt and fabric, adding a few stitches and thinking this year's Christmas presents. Simple and quick - just the sort of thing I love to make.
Now I could hardly finish them off at Friday Sewing and I couldn't just sit there with nothing to do, so I made the Stitched Heart from the Festive Trinkets pattern.
I prepared it at home, stitched the front at sewing and finished it off in front of the TV. This is for a non sewing friend, who still has some things I made for her many years ago (things that make me blush when I look at them).
It would make a charming addition to your own collection of decorations or a special friends.
Tempted - you can purchase the kit for the Stitched Heart here.
It was exactly two months to Christmas yesterday. I knew it was getting closer but it wasn't supposed to be that close!
That's why this table runner could be just the thing to make if you're running a little short on time.
Started last Thursday, I did a little bit here and there on it over the weekend and finished it Monday morning. Not having made one in a while, I was pleasantly surprised at how quickly it came together.
You can purchase the kit for the Rusty Bell Runner here. The kit includes the fabrics for the top, back & tongues, iron-on-pellon and rusty bells.
For sometime now I've been wanting to try out one of my earlier patterns, Christmas Trimmings, in the new felts I have. I'd originally thought I would remake them in similar colours, but it didn't work out that way.
It was purely by chance I decided to make the first bauble with the straw coloured felt and it just flowed from there. This is such a pretty and fresh look compared to the more traditional colours I originally used.
I'd also forgotten just how easy and nice they were to make.
I even stitched a couple while listening to the AFL grand final on Saturday. It helped relieve some of the tension I was feeling as the lead kept changing. A great game with the final score not reflecting how close it was for the first three quarters. The final quarter was a joy to watch especially if you are a Cats supporter like me!
You'll find the kit for the Tree Topper Bird and 6 Baubles in these pretty colours on my website.
