More Gifts...

More gifts for other occasions besides Christmas.

 

Soon-to-be-born niece, Vivienne will receive this flannel quilt, which I made yesterday and today using my own tutorial.

A rice bag, a cover for the rice bag and a handkerchief (for me). I used one of my sewing machine's decorative stitches on the hankie, although you can't really see it. 

StashBusting:
 

Approximately 3 yards flannel
1 yard leftover batting from another project
5" by 18" piece of fabric leftover from another project
10 inches of handkerchief fabric given to me by Grandma

Sewing For Christmas...

I am sewing some things for Christmas gifts, in addition to giving out my home-canned jars of jellies, pie fillings, vanilla extract and other goodies.

Today I made 2 potholders, 2 oven mitts, 1 flannel scarf, and one flannel/fleece blanket.  Not a quilt, I simply sewed flannel to fleece for a light car blanket for a special someone. :) I won't show pictures just yet, as the person will know, by the colors, who the gifts are for!

I bought the flannel at a garage sale - $5 for 6 yards!

2 1/2 yards of fleece, leftover from another project

1 yard of muslin, leftover from another project
