I’ve been trying to write this post for awhile and figured I’d better get it up before Valentine’s Day! I took the Handmade Pledge last year and have to say that all of my birthday/baby/holiday gifts were handmade. I’ve been posting them throughout the year and here’s the final gifts of the holiday season.
Sweater Scarves from my own pattern.
Coasters from Joelle Hoverson’s sewing book. Bar towel from my own pattern.
Zipper pouches from 24 Hour Sewing Projects.
I also made lots of loaves of friendship bread (with mini chocolate chips and chopped craisins. YUM!) and tree ornaments.
Tiny stockings from Joelle Hoverson’s knitting book.
Tiny stars from Shh, I’m counting!
I plan on posting a tutorial for the sweater scarves. I also have fiddled with the friendship bread recipe (when do I not fiddle with a recipe?) trying to make it a bit healthier for every day snacking. I’ll try and post that, too. Right now I’m working on baby gifts. They’ll be revealed soon!
all your projects looked great, Julie! I think this year I will start in early fall or late summer, though, so I am not rushed like I was this year–you?
I know Wyatt and Grace loved the crayon caddies – awesome gift!
