Whilst many people are out and about shopping for pressies, I’ve been busy stitching up some hand made gifts for my Stitching Santa recipitant. Here’s a little sneak preview of some of the gifts which are being sent off to Father Christmas in the morning. 3 of these gifts I’ve made, 2 have been bought. I also have a piece of fabric that I’ve bought, but that’s going to be a surprise!
Thanks so much Sheila for organising this, you truly are Wonder Women fitting everything that you do!
Love the B&W zip bag. Would you show us how to make them? It looks like it would be a good bag to put in your luggage to keep ones undies in.
They’re fab for just anything, and so addictive once you start making them.
Here’s a free pattern from Craftsy explaining who to make them. (Much better than I could!) I stopped before the last stage to keep mine flat. It’ll make sense once you read it.

😀😀😀😀😀
What fun! I love the vintage ladies and the graphic prints, and the little flowers, and the bigger floral. OK, apparently I love them all. Can’t wait to see how your recipient likes her package and have the details on mystery fabric…..
I’m getting all giddy! And reading the comments is making me giddier! Isn’t Christmas exciting? I can’t wait to see either! 😀
Eek! How exciting! And what a lovely collection you’ve put together! 🎁🎁🎁
Thanks Corrine! Only 7 sleeps to go…I bet it’s getting rather exciting in your household, and I bet you can’t wait to break up 🌲🌲🌲
Just a bit! But then I’m just as bad at getting excited!
I love the black, taupe and turquoise together. A lovely little collection.
Thankyou! My first proper-ish foray into quilting too! Got a bit carried away with some fancy stitching at one point! 😀
Ooh, what gorgeous things! Quite a collection you’ve put together there – I hope we get to see them in more detail at some point:)
I can’t decide, I think if I show the fabric too close then it might be too much of a clue for who it’s for, or maybe I’m just being over cautious 😳
Ooooh you’ve been busy with the patchwork! 😀 I can see lots of numbers and letters there, wondering if it’ll be for a teacher… can’t wait!
The zip bag is great, nice prints put together. is it the Craftsy one?
I just made it up as I went along, then I found the link above in comments and had a quick read through that before I added the zip. I couldn’t top stitch the zip tho, so maybe I did something wrong. It all worked out in the end! 😃
Lovely to read all the updates, very exciting!
I know, only 5 sleeps till we can open them! 🙂
Lovely prezzies! Aren’t you the sneaky one, with all these cuties getting tucked in between your published makes. Thank you for that pattern reference ~ will check it out! 🎄⛄️🎄⛄️
I love surprises and am too good at keeping secrets to give too much away! 🙂
Good for you! (Love the fabric combos.)
