I have different groups of friends who get gifts.
a big group will get sewing machine pincushions.
Dotty (dotcomdtcm) gave me this idea. just a small
rectangle of fabric stuffed with ribbons on the ends
to tie to the machine. another group with get the pyramid zipperbag. don't know
where to get a pic, but you can google it. a few others will get a
purse mirror. the embroidered designis from Urban THreads.
You need and emb machine to do these, and lots of patience.
you sew out each side in the hoop, wash away stabilizer, then stitch together.
last year I made gnomes out of a wooden ball some white fake fur and red
felt hats. everyone thought they were cute.
