Our holidays were chaotic and crazy and I ran out of time to do so many things. We never even got our Christmas tree decorated. But, I did manage to finish most of the gifts I'd planned to make. That included a few sewn ones.
My daughter has always knitted, crocheted, sewed, woven, spun, etc. But, now that she's grown up and experiencing the stresses of life, she has a bigger appreciation for those things and the relaxation and escape they can provide. However, her knit and crochet projects mean she needs to borrow tools from me. That's fine...until I need those things for my projects. So, I decided it was the perfect time to get her started on collecting her own tools. I sewed her a crochet hook/knitting needle case and a project bag. And, I was able to do it with left over fabric from her quilt. So, I knew she'd love it!
It was a bit challenging finding pieces of fabric that were big enough and that looked great together in these projects. But, I did it. I'm quite pleased with the outcome. And, best of all, she loves it!
I gave it to her with a set of crochet hooks in the most commonly used sizes, some stitch markers of various kinds, yarn needles, and a little case to store them in. I'm also going to buy her some knitting needles but needed to wait to see what she already has and what she wants.
I made a project bag for my friend Tammi too.
I love the blues in this fabric! And, it goes well with the knitting needle case I made for her last year.
I'm not sure how or when she did it...but...my daughter managed to sew a project bag for me!
What a special gift! The fact that she made this for me, with her hands and love means so much!
And, believe it or not, I'd already planned to make a project bag with this fabric.
I love it! And, I've already put it to good use.
