Get a Jump on the holidays!
          
          
Holiday season is just around the corner and sewers and crafters need to get a head start getting your sewing gifts underway!
        

          
 Can you meet our DIY Challenge and make all of your gifts this Holiday? Handmade gifts are so personal and meaningful! It can save money too. Wouldn't you be amazed if a friend made you this snazzy bag, for instance?
            
This bag is made up of bias strips and is a great stash buster!


Clean up your sewing room for the new year and get ready for the holidays all at once!

Tips For Success You can choose to make one special gift or get rolling on a production line of smaller items!
Plan ahead for success - making gifts takes time

It always takes longer than you think!
          
        

Here are a few ideas to turn your sewing room
into Santa's Workshop!
      


        
        
          
This bag is a classic make-up bag shape but looks great as a tote bag in the right fabric. See our sample in the store made out of stylish Japanese Kokka and Echino Fabric!
          
          
Or try a Scrappy Cosmetic Bag...
           
          
            
This patterns comes in four different sizes!

Buttons, Ribbons and Fabric  
          
make great wrapping and decorations!
          

Great for holiday hair ornaments too!  
          
      

Add decoration to your festivities!            
        
Using ribbon create your own trims that can be used to embellish  clothing, accessories and home décor. Different sewing techniques and  stitches are employed to make innovative flat and dimensional trims as  well as a wide variety of flowers.

The Titus patterns in general are good patterns for DIY gift givers!

Pattern - Titus Summer Blouse
        Both the Titus Summer Blouse or Village Blouse are good gift choices as they come in sizes small, medium and large. Both are semi-loose fitting which also helps!

Another Holiday class to take is our Holiday Family Sewing Class.
This is a great class for families and kids to take together! Bring the whole family and earn to operate a sewing machine, measure and cut fabric, and make a custom project - together!

Tip
        Choose only one or two patterns for the holidays and make it in different fabrics for different people. You will get really good at that pattern and be able to make it fast and accurately which is a great gift to your sewing skills!

* New Scissors For the Holidays!
          
Could Gingher Scissors be any better? These new scissors feature a spring- action design to reduce hand fatigue, plus who ever minded a little gold bling?

Fiskars Fingertip Rotary - this rotary cutter allows for smooth cuts and you wear it on your finger! You can easily guide the blade exactly where needed.

Mundail craft scissors - 51/2" blade
These would make a nice small pair second pair of scissors for lightweight fabric and thread. These would also be nice in a travel repair kit or even for a scrapbooker.

Gingher Stork Embroidery Scissors are a thin skinny little scissor - perfect for thread cutting and hence embroidery work.
