For the past 9 days I’ve been sharing with you some wonderful gift ideas for the creative people in your life (you can find my Countdown to Christmas suggestions here). Today I want to share with you 30 handmade gift ideas that you can make yourself!
SEWING
I remember my mom spending hours in her sewing room before Christmas. We were told not to peek. I remember the sound of her sewing machine chugging along and the feeling of anticipation that I would be getting something handmade with love as a gift. Turtle’s first Christmas I made him a handmade rag quilt. When you give someone a gift that you sew, it’s a gift made with love.
