I created a new Christmas stocking pattern today, haven't even written it out yet, but had my student (the Proofreader) make it tonight and she loved it! This is a photo of her holding the two she made in class tonight!

Now, I need to get writing!

GIFT IDEA -
Here's a suggestion you can make for people who want to know what to give you for a Christmas gift or for you to give someone else.
GIFT CERTIFICATE for sewing lessons at Get Sewing (me in Spring, Texas) or to use on my online shop!

They can purchase, print out, and put in an envelope or box for you.

I designed, sewed up and wrote a pattern for the Easiest Table Runner Ever yesterday and today! Almost ready to go in my online shop, after the proof-readers get back to me and I make needed edits.

Bow Tied Tray

I wrote a new pattern last night, see photo.
I use it on trips, pack in my suitcase, use in hotels to keep my personal items in, or to have chips, popcorn, using it as a bowl.  It could be made in rectangles or squares. You could make one to fit your casserole dish to keep it warm while serving. The bows untie to lay it flat. It can be washed and dried in machine. Makes nice gifts.

Crocheting & Knitting Baby Hats

I've been crocheting and knitting newborn baby hats.  I was inspired by a friend, Kim, who helps her husband in his photography business. They've photographed babies. The trend now is to put funky or pretty knitted or crocheted hats on the naked newborn baby for it's first photos. She bought some from me, but, I was so inspired, I made lots of them. So many that I had to list them online for sale. Take a look, click HERE.

WOW! I sold my own design patterns (wholesale) to two quilt shops this month, (so far)! I hope this trend continues!

Today is a momentous day! I sold my first wholesale order of my own design patterns to a quilt shop!
