The weather has turned full to fall here. This turns my thoughts to the coming holiday season. I love making gifts for family and friends. Some years, I plan ahead and sew for months. Other years, I make lots of little “thinking of you” gifts.
One of my favorite “thinking of you” gifts to make are ornaments. They are a great little make when you only have a little bit of time after work or in the evening to sew, or if you need to work from smaller bits in your scrap stash. If you need some ideas, I have an inexpensive instant downloads. These can work up in period fabrics or with a modern twist.
Do you want to make a gift for a history interpreter or reenactor in your life? Consider making a winter hood. If your giftee loves to sew for themselves, pair a pattern with materials. (You are welcome to print an e-publication give as a gift.)
PS – The Lappet Style Hood and One-Piece Quilted Hood work up nicely in fleece for a modern winter hood. This can make a nice gift for those who live in cold winter areas.
If you have a doll lover in your life, I released a series of winter hoods for dolls earlier this year.
I will be releasing a new mini-publication in the coming week or two:
