This year I'm making a couple of granddaughters pajamas from cute flannel I've had for a long time. And a grandson is getting a quilt it took forever to finish.
I will be making retro aprons for the great cooks on my friends-and-family list.
I'm legitimately retro (and that word looks wrong) so I need this book. My retro mind can't remember how to without it!
Yeah! quick to sew gifts...I need this book!
I love to make gifts for Christmas, but some new inspiration would be welcome!
I'm always looking for different ways to use embroidery designs too. This book looks like a friendly, inventive way to make handmade gifts even more personal.
Making some table runners for family this Christmas....love to us the book for inspiration!
I am just getting back into sewing after a very long hiatus. It feels good!
Am definitely planning on making some toiletry bags for my daughters. They are getting old enough to go for sleepovers and need pretty bags for their toothbrushes, etc. And maybe pajamas if I get really organized.
Desperately trying to finish Grandma Helen's quilt for Christmas...Joy and deadlines..:)
Those books will inspired me to make great gifts for all family. Thanks
I will be making small bags/pouches for my handcrafted jewelry!
I will be making some aprons for my for my girl friends.
Looks like a great addition to my collection! :o) Would love to be the lucky one.
I will be making gifts for my daughters teachers, for my co-workers, and for my daughters friends. I can't wait to see the contents of the book!
I love to make my holiday gifts, and I especially love to sew them. I'm always on the lookout for new ideas, so I'd love to know more about the projects in this book. The cover is fabulous.
I love sewing gifts! I could really use some more ideas!
this book looks like fun.
I always try to make something. But this year is tight on time. But you never know what december brings...
I am planning to make hand-sewn/ embellished gifts for all my children this Christmas, both to save money but also to give them something meaningful that could become an heirloom. I have thought a lot more about how to leave something behind for them that is a connection between us and not just "stuff".
I am always looking for unique gifts for my sister in law,looks inspiring.

I am planning on making holiday gifts this year for my grown children and my neice. This book looks fun!
The gifts I treasure most are the ones someone made for me. I want to find some special things to make for others this year.
wow, this would be great to own!
I'm planning on making some cozy pajamas for my grandchildren, as well as, making a plush toy for my great grandson. If I have time I'll also bake some goodies to send them.
This looks like a great book. I'm new'ish to sewing so all the knowledge I can consume the better!
I plan to sew a few home items (pillows, table linens) for my family members this year. Hopefully I'll be able to pull that off since my actual sewing always seem to fall far short of my sewing hopes!
I'd sew a gift for someone only if I was sure this person really appreciated it.
I always make homemade Christmas and enjoy it very much. Last year, everyone got fleece jammie pants. This year they are getting those hot/cold packs you can make with cherry pits. A lot easier than jammie pants!!! I would love to win this book, and maybe make a little something special for the ladies :) Karen Gass
I want this!
Last year I sewed aprons for all of my girl cousins. Will try to do something similar this year too, as I rediscovered the joys of sewing with 100% cotton, miles of bias binding, and some of the vintage tools in my collection, such as the ruffler and binding foot.

I sew my Christmas gifts every year and feel pride with all. I always receive comments such as "You should sell these." But I love looking for new ideas for my one of a kind gifts. No one will ever see another like theirs anywhere.
I made fleece socks for hubby last year, but haven't decided what to make him this year. Maybe a fleece vest with sleeves, since he's a biker.
