A few years back I thought I would like to try making gifts for Birthdays and Christmas. It seemed to go over pretty well so we have been doing that now for about three years. My son (six) gets upset sometimes and wishes I would just buy something for his friends parties (I do for boys, but not for the girls). I told him we can give them a better gift if I make it because I can use alot of things I already have and we couldn't buy them as nice of a gift. So he is slowly getting the picture, I hope. I have really enjoyed it. I try to put alot of thought into them and it has really become a joy to give little homemade pieces of myself. Too sappy I know! This year I made aprons, aprons and more aprons. For the ladies I made bags and make-up bags, pot holders, kitchen towels ect. Here are some pics of this years gifts, hopefully they provide someone out there a little inspiration. Sorry about some of the photos -- I usually remember to take the pics right before putting them in the mail.
Here are two happy little apron models...
Men's Tactical Apron. My dad likes to hunt and cook, so I made him this apron that says "I've got Game in the Kitchen". I wish I had a better picture of the whole thing.
It was a little tricky getting through all those tuff fabric layers....
These next ones are not from this year, but i love them so I had to share...
so so so so impressed with your sewing skills and fabric choices! i love everything!! next yr for christmas me and you can talk business, those aprons are super!
