Gifts that will be Remembered

When my youngest daughter was just ten years old, she taught me an important lesson. As her list grew and grew, I finally asked her what she got for Christmas last year. I know we spent a small fortune buying everything on her list and the only thing she remembered was the quilt Nana made her. I also know that Nana’s quilt will be with her when it is worn and tattered but never will it end up in a landfill. I’ve made it a point to sew everyone something ever since.

Here are some quick ideas to get you started at a sewing homemade gift for everyone on your list, even if it’s trinkets or gift certificates that are the usual exchange.

• Trick Wallet
• Fabric Bottle Bags
• Tooth Fairy Pillow
• Educational Toy Snake
• Windshield Visor CD Holder
• BBQ Apron
• Nail Pouch
