sounds delightful!!! i think i'll try something like this. sounds light and airy too.

I had to do a Christmas Raffle for my Quilting group meeting last Saturday. I made bottle waistcoats, brown paper stockings containing Fat Quarters. I found Santa trousers on Amazon and put small button tins,scissors and thread in them! Unfortunately I wasn't able to be there but evidently everyone was happy with their gifts!![ATTACH=CONFIG]499988[/ATTACH]

A lot of great ideas. a lot of you chimed in on the thread catcher. didn't know they were that popular, on my list of todo for gifts. maybe you're the lucky one to receive it. love those paper stockings for goodies too.
