Just a quick post today to show you a few of the things I’ve made for my #sewingsanta recipient (who remains anonymous!).
I spent the maximum limit of ten pounds ages ago so I thought I’d take some time to sew some little gifts with fabric and bits from my stash. This way it’s not cheating because they haven’t cost a penny other than my time spent creating them.
These are the added extras – and boy have I had fun!
This needlecase is made from remnants of silk – red on the outside and gold on the inside.
A cute little mandala key ring using scraps of felt and ribbon.
My very first attempt at needle felting – a tiny Robin brooch.
Shown briefly the other day, this pocket tissue cover was created from leftover fabric from a book bag project.
I had planned on including these pure lambswool fingerless gloves too, but they just sold on Folksy so I will have to make some more:)
There are more items to come because I’ve never had so much pleasure making random things just for the fun of it!
How’s your #sewingsanta parcel coming along?

Thank you – I love making needlecases. I have monogrammed this one but had to Photoshop it out so as not to give away who the recipient is:)

I heard about it via Beth from After Dark Sewing and joined a few hours before the deadline! Basically it’s a Secret Santa with a sewing related theme. That’s not to say I won’t sneak a bit of crochet in there too though:)

Wow, these are all so lovely. You put me to shame because I haven’t made anything, only bought… I don’t think my sewing santa recipient is going to be so lucky haha!! There’s still time I guess!!

Ooh, I would be thrilled to receive a little something handmade – I guess that’s why I’ve made these I suppose, hoping that they will be excited to have gifts created especially for them:)
