In an attempt to give handmade presents (something I decided about 2 weeks ago!) I've been wracking my brain trying to come up with some quick, easy gifts for 4 (!) children's birthdays we've got coming up. One is in a couple of weeks while the other three are not until later next month. With the move coming up in 2 weeks I knew I wouldn't have time to knit something for each of them so I figured I'd give hand sewing a go. I haven't sewn (at all) since high school Home Economics so I was a bit apprehensive, but it's a breeze!
I can't give too much away because some recipient's parents may be reading, but I'm really pleased with how things are turning out! I'll be sure to post full pics once the presents are given but from these shots it's not going to take too much brain power to figure out what some of them are!!!
I too am doing handmade gifts. I was up late last night hand sewing a mobile for a new baby. Cannot wait to see your finished products!!!
ReplyDeleteOooh, good on you. I still struggle with knowing what to make kids (and deciding, and getting around to the actual making in time). Fantastic that you've jumped onboard the handmade thing though. Recently I've been giving half/half types of gifts - a little bag with a few craft supplies (eg crayons), or little handmade aprons with a wooden spoon, etc.
ReplyDeleteI think some of these gifts will be half/half Gina, I'm just going to run out of time! But all the ideas are there!
ReplyDeletehandmade gifts are the best, the kids will love it i'm sure.
ReplyDeleteYou never cease to amaze me girl! These look wonderful. :) xx
