Tangled Thread - Tips, Trick and Tutorials in Sewing & Stitching

homemade Christmas gifts

by Chloe on November 20th, 2007

I love making Christmas gifts for people - in fact I end up making more gifts than I buy.  I try and not get too carried away by commercialization & keeping it as home made as possible is my favorite way to do it.  After all, I’m a huge Christmas nut :-)  I’ve grown up with a family that does as much “shopping” in the studio as possible - it’s so much more personal that way.

I think this year I’ll probably end up making about 75% of my gifts (I’m excited to be working on some projects with my DH this year too!)   Not everything is sewn - I do a lot of baking & candy-making as well :-)  I’m also working on using fabric from my stash instead of buying new stuff.  I’ve found fabric in my storage boxes that I don’t remember buying - oops!

I’ve got a new poll up over on the right hand side, underneath my blogroll.  How much of your Christmas gift list is hand made this year?
