It pretty much started with this VANHAKAUPUNKI fabric Jefe bought me last year for Christmas.
I stretched it over the frame covering the other Marimekko for the season.
So what do you do with the leftovers?
Well duh.
And of course you need coordinates.
And as it happens the coordinates match the ones from last year:)
But with the endless rain here all I want to do is sew or sit on my pillows,
so I made some more for the family room too.
I finished up some more dopp kits and napkins that I’ll share next week, but I think that’s it for my #handmadechristmas this year. Here’s the link to my invisible zipper tutorial if you feel in the mood to make some holiday pillows yourself.

I used Sandie’s cloth napkin tutorial at sleepyowlstudio.wordpress.com./2013/07/08/can-you-bring-me-a-napkin/ to make holiday napkins to send to sister-in-law who always sends baked goodies. Oh and I made an invisible zipper pillow for the first time last year for my brother using your tutorial and book. 🙂 inger
Here’s my link:

I made three Christmas stockings using this method–the first one is tricky, but after that–it’s pretty easy for such a complex inside out lined stocking.
Love your giveaway fabrics–especially the OOP ones.

My favorite stocking tutorial http://cluckclucksew.com/2010/12/tutorial-lined-stocking-with-cuff.html. I make them every year for family. So easy and fun!
What a great giveaway! I love those pillows! My fave tutorial for gifts is the open wide zipper pouch! http://www.noodle-head.com/2012/06/open-wide-zippered-pouch-diy-tutorial.html
http://blog.consumercrafts.com/seasonal/wire-craft-ornaments/
You can wrap these wire words or names with fabric strips or yarn (good way to use up scraps)
I haven’t made this zipper pouch but it sure looks fun!

Lovely! Merry Christmas to you!
I didn’t go far online; I’m making a few of these for gifts this year! https://sewkatiedid.wordpress.com/2010/04/24/zip-to-your-pillow/
Flurry on! Everyone has one of these stockings but me, of course. I’m next on the list and hopefully it won’t wait until 2016. http://blog.fabricworm.com/2010/12/christmas-stocking-tutorial.html
Hi Katie! Just found this crochet beard pattern, have no idea how well it will work, but who doesn’t love a baby with a beard 🙂

Still need to finish my pillow from your class last week, will send pic when I’m done.
I’m having quite a lot of fun weaving between large quilts: http://www.theweavingloom.com/weaving-techniques-herringbone-weave/
Jeni Baker’s Lined Drawstring Bag makes a great gift bag that can be used after the gifting as a project bag or a place to store treasures. http://www.incolororder.com/2011/10/lined-drawstring-bag-tutorial.html
I made a set of these for each sibling this year. They were so much fun to make.

These are staples of my Christmas gift giving — perfect to tuck a gift card inside along with some chocolate kisses. The little bags are useful afterward for earbuds, phone chargers, loose change, medications — you name it.
This funny little thing has been my favorite make of the Christmas season! I love how the cat shape makes it more personal and fun. 🙂 http://issuu.com/sweetlivingmagazine/docs/issue2
I’m liking low volume more and more. I’ve got this quilt half made.
(Plus I can do channel quilting – but thats all!) This could be a gift 🙂

One reason I love your pillows is because I love texture! Here is another example of a pillow project that can have some great texture as well:

I need to try this but I’ve never done a zipper. Good place to start! Thank you!
I loved the Our Lady of Guadalupe print!
I made 12 of these pattern weights out of Christmas fabric, filled them with walnut shells, added a ribbon hanger and decorative pins. They went to my bee members for presents to use as ornaments or pin cushions.

Minimally quilted and not pieced at all, but this is my fave. The Nani Iro doesn’t hurt at all 😉
http://www.purlsoho.com/create/2011/05/25/mollys-sketchbook-lap-duvet/
I love a good stocking. http://www.purlsoho.com/create/2009/11/22/mollys-sketchbook-simple-embroidered-stockings/

This is a great idea – i loved looking at all the tutorials and here’s mine:
These make lovely little presents made up in Xmas fabrics with cool earphones inside

Great idea for small kids!!

Merry Christmas for everyone and lots of love
Thanks for the chance to win. I made this quilt this year when I was cleaning up the scraps in my sewing space. I did not add the treat pockets. It turned out great.

well, http://flossieteacakes.blogspot.com/2015/09/a-tutorial-sewing-rope-bowl.html this one on rope bowls has been helpful to me this year…but that is not patchwork and quilting…so….http://terrabytefarm.com/wp/2012/01/04/boxed-pouch-tutorial/ Ive used Jamie’s tutorial time and again. Thanks for a chance, Katie, you always have the best AH fabrics!
Thank you for your blog – and your “contest”. I really liked making these sprocket cushions that I found on Cluck Cluck Sew, here is the link to the tutorial! http://cluckclucksew.com/2011/03/tutorial-sprocket-pillows.html
Hi Paddy Anne. You’re “Winner! Winner! Chicken dinner!”
Send me your email:)
This quilt was fast and easy and used up a lot of my scraps! I did not add the pockets which made it even faster.

Thanks for the chance to win.
What a great give away. Thanks! And this post is a terrific source for favorite tutorials. I made a bunch of these little triangle pouches this year.

I don’t have a favorite tutorial, because I try not to make the same thing twice-too many new & exciting things to try out there! Here is a tutorial for an adorable kids tote that I have on my to make list! Thanks for a chance to win some amazing fabrics!
My favorite gift tutorial is an oldie, but a goodie. I’ve lost track of how many sets of these coasters I’ve given away this year—I like to sew them in bulk!

You’re so sweet Patti K. I miss you!
I’ve made these a couple of times. The original tutorial from Pokey Bolton seems to be gone.

I like these but would like to try next time with cherry pits. I just have to buy the cherry pits and it is so much more fun buying fabric 🙂
