Here are a few projects that I did this Christmas season...
1. Pillowcases. I decided that our nieces and nephews get a ton of toys already every Christmas, so I got crazy and decided to make pillowcases with each of their names appliqued on them... I used wonder under and my Cricut Expression to cut the fabric into letters, ironed them on, and did a simple zig zag stitch around all the letters... They definitely got better as I went along!
2. Button Monograms. My mother in law had given me a quart size mason jar full of her mother's buttons, as I am the only one in the family who sews. I felt that they were too beautiful not to be shared, so I made 5 of these bad boys, including the one I made for us. Initially, I had every intention of making them into pillows, but I felt like the framed art was a better way to preserve Grandmier's memory. I don't care if I ever have to sew another button again, that's for sure!
