Burlap Christmas Treat Bags

 

I made the burlap treat bags using a roll of 6" wide burlap.  They are lined with red cotton fabric.  The star/snowflake is crocheted.  Tag made using Close to My Heart Art Philosophy Cricut Cartridge, stamps, and inks.

Snowflake Spinner Card

 

 

 

 

When I saw this week's Mojo Monday, I immediately thought of a spinner card.  I had never made one before, but it was pretty simple.  I cut a circle in the card base and then added baker's twine.  The snowflake circle is slightly smaller than the hole and is sandwiched around the baker's twine.  I mixed the pearl embossing powder and prisma glitter to make the snowflakes extra shimmery.  I am very pleased with how they turned out!

Christmas Stocking

My aunt had given me a stocking years ago with my name embroidered on it.  I just love it and needed to make Jerrad a stocking that matched it well.  I got out my stocking and my stash of Christmas fabrics.  I traced my stocking onto the fabric and batting.  I quilted squares 1 inch apart and then embroidered Jerrad's name using my embroidery machine and gold thread.  I added a little scrap of ribbon for the hanger.  I am really pleased with how this turned out!

Baby's 1st Christmas Ornament

 

When I saw this idea on Pinterest, I knew I had to make one for my beautiful niece.  I made 3 of these ornaments.  One for mom, grandma, and me.  I am very happy with how they turned out and I hope that the recipients liked them also!

Christmas Tree Pants

When I saw this sew-along on Sew Mama Sew last year, I had to go directly to Walmart (the only fabric selection in my town) to purchase fabric.  I found this nice collection filled with non-traditional colors and glitter and thought it would be perfect.  It was super easy to make, and I love this lady's blog- she is a hoot yet inspirational and informative.  I am really really happy with how this turned out and cannot wait to use the left overs to make more things for my house like pillows, place mats, or a table runner.

I let no scraps go to waste.  When I made the points on the stars, I went ahead and sewed another seam 1/2" from the original seam before trimming.  This gave me little squares.
