DebbieBarry writes: A wonderful hostess gift I make for the holidays and for any special occasion relates to flowers. I buy an inexpensive small vase and fresh flowers. Then I look through my fabric stash and cut a circle large enough to cover the clear glass vase completely and overlap the top edge a little. Depending on the fabric you can finish the edge with pinking shears/rotary cutter or serge or add a lace trim. Then I also make a ribbon from a contrasting fabric or use a ribbon in my stash to tie around the top gathering the excess fabric in. Today I left the glass clear and put orange netting inside the vase, then added some little stones for extra stability. I made a great wide ribbon out of a fabric that was black with candy corn on it and added some of the orange netting in the bow. My girlfriend was really pleased to receive her Halloween treat.

pssews writes: I'm making pillow covers using Christmas whimsical designs for my former work friends. (Three of the 5 are now retired.) I'm using decorative thread, piping, bells and tassels as embellishments. Since I'm flying to their location, I'm only bringing the covers, allowing them to use or purchase their own forms. If I have time, I would also like to make them non Christmas covers. For my great nieces, I am crocheting beads on the top edges of socks. I may even have time to string beads on memory wire for bracelets for them.

Linkbeth writes: so many ideas, so much fun, would make kitchen gifts like 'chicken' scrubby cover and give it with either a favorite recipe or utensil.. another favorite to make is potholder with pocket for easy hand insertion..finally would make a plastic bag holder from ready made kitchen towels..even with 'going green' we still seem to have these when we run in for an item w/o our re-usable bags..instead of trying to tame these bags for re-purposing, the best way to reuse is to hang these little bag holders in the kitchen/bath/or garage for easy access and they are really pretty to look at vs a bunch of plastic bags bunched together..thanks for the contest..

acatalina2 writes: My holiday gift-making plan includes four sets of cozy slippers; one set for each of my three daughters and one set for myself. Three lined and stippled felt hats for the three granddaughters, and three beanie-styled felt hats for the three grandsons. We hope to all be warm and cozy for a winter sports trip to Northstar-at-Tahoe this Holiday Season. Additionally, we are hosting an HOA Wine Tasting just before Thanksgiving and I am now choosing the fabric for a festive table runner and complimenting dinner napkins. Wish me luck on the latter, as I've yet to tackle table linens; and the former as I almost always choose the right fabric for the wrong daughter. Could we have tried a bit more diligently in having three daughters with the same foot size. ;->
Best to each of you in accomplishing your holiday sewing goals and warm wishes for a festive Fall and Winter season!

megamom writes: From what I see on the front and back cover, there are plenty of items suitable for the people on my Xmas list. Skirts for my daughter and daughter in-law, a coat for my sisters dog, vests, bags, and many more wonderful things. I feel that a home-made gift is a sign of thought and love for the person receiving it, you have spent your time thinking about that person and what would best suit them. Thanks for all the wonderful ideas, and heres hoping I'm one of the winners.

Andysmom writes: I could use all the inspiration I can get to encourage me to start my holiday gift making. Handbags and carpetbags are high on my list for female family members and friends. I went to a decorating shop that is closing and bought tons of yards of fabric at 70% off. The prices were good before the sale. I have enough for about 50-75 good size bags, plus silks, wools, linens and cottons for clothing. Always love a great deal.

Holly88 writes: I am planning on making a quilt with cat print material for my 6 year old grandson. When he was a baby I made him a blanket which he called, Blankie Red. He still loves it. One day he called me and said, "Grammie you need to make me a bigger Blankie Red." I was not a quilter, so this was a challenge to me. I have started on this quilt and hope it will meet his expectations.
As for other Christmas items, I plan on making a Christmas wall hanging for my daughter, and many fleece socks for family and friends. I want to do other things, but have not found the ideas. I hope I win the magazine so I can get those ideas.

I'm still thinking about what to make for our oldest son and the two wives. Two grandsons will get fleece blankets in college colors, and the only granddaughter will get multiple hair bows and flowers to wear at her volleyball tournaments and a fleece blanket to keep her warm between soccer games.

It is an easy project to mail which I do for all her presents. She enjoys me making her something every year. I will be making Saints (Football team) pillowcases for my sister in law for Christmas, using black and gold fleur de lis material for the pillowcase (which is the emblem for the NFL Saints team). I am still trying to decide what to make my father in law for Christmas yet. I will probably make my husband something for Christmas but he will let me know what he needs when it gets close to Christmas. I have made a small tool holder and other little things.

I get a great picture and memory, the parents get children all ready to tuck into bed when they head back home.

I'll make several 'rice bags' with removable sleeve covers for girlfriends - easy to slip the cover off to launder. My favorite shape has become a long tube with cord 'handles' on each end - loop it over your neck, set on your lap, etc, then hang up to store.

And I usually make several sets of pillowcases from yummy cotton (sometimes a matching pillowcase and sleep pants for grandsons); I have a couple of cooks who are in line for new aprons; my youngest grandson needs a fleece and flannel 'quillow' for road trips, and I'd like to try some table runners using recycled felted wools - saw some very inspiring pieces at the County Fair this summer.
