Sewing For The Holidays! Creating Memorable Gifts

Hi Everyone! It's November and time to talk about Sewing For The Holidays! This month I invite you all to a month-long sewing party - yay! Together we can plan our projects, set goals, do a few giveaways, and have a fun time while doing it all together!

The topic, or should I say "party" will be divided into four sessions:

  • Part 1: Topic Overview, project planning, and goal setting
  • Part 2: Personalization 
  • Part 3: Tiny Treasures 
  • Part 4: Show & Tell and Presentation

It's going to be a fun course! Are you ready? Let's go...

      Well its a sad state of affairs when I am planning to finish some applique jackets I planned when my children played with their original American Girl dolls in the earliest 90’s (my daughters are now 38 and 36 years old now) . What a holiday surprise when my daughter sees them for her daughters (my granddaughters now 9 and 10 years old).

      I have a show at the end of November and this will be an excellent time for me to make some last minute “special outfits” for the holidays. I like to make value priced outfits that look nice because I get a lot of little girls who shop with their own money and I try to help them stretch their dollar with affordable outfits or accessories.

      I want to finish the pajama and robe outfit I began last month. I also like to look for doll size ornaments or products during this time of year. I have found great ornaments that have become doll pets, accessories, or decorations.

      Just saw the movie HARRIET and it was fabulous! The featured dresses were to die for and they reminded me of Shari Fuller’s patterns. Now I can’t wait to create one or more of them for my Addy doll! The elastic course will definitely come in handy!

      This is unrelated to this months program, but can you please make your LJ Pattern List into a PDF file please. I cannot open any file in Office. I have tried each month to download it and it is always the same, I just can’t open it. Thank you in advance!

      I have two granddaughters and 4 adopted" granddaughters. Four of the girls are playing with the 18" dolls, so they are each getting 15 outfits apiece. One of the younger ones is getting a handmade lion and the other a Dalmation. Both will have wardrobes of hook and loop tape clothes in zippered carrying cases. Including handmade shoes, knit sweaters, jewelry and purses and suitcases, I’m looking at about 150 projects. All my fabrics are cut out and in Ziploc bags with their patterns. I’ve watched the Master Class on bulk sewing and I’m ready to go.

      I want to make multiples of several different outfits to donate to a school craft show where kids can buy presents for family members. Money goes to help pay for school field trips, etc. I’m looking for different quick, easy projects so I can make several different ones.
