Well, now that Christmas is over, I can post a few pictures of some of the things that I made for gifts!  

Here is the first gift, It is a messenger bag for my daughter.  I used a basic pattern from Jen Giddons and then added three zippered pockets, an adjustable strap, and hook inside for keys.  She love it!  

Here is the front of the bag... I found a really neat clasp to close it!  

Here is the inside with a look at the zipper pocket and hook.  


This is the back, with the exterior outside pocket for storing more things.  The fabric was bought at Grubers Quilt shop in St. Cloud, MN.  


This is the next gift that was made this holiday season... It was a darling little sun hat for my darling niece.  It turned out cute, but was definitely more challenging than I thought it would be.  Getting the round top part of the hat to line up with the round brim was difficult to say the least.  The pattern looked so simple!  







Here is the next Christmas gift, which I will be quilting this weekend.  This throw quilt is a gift for my mother that matches the table runner I made her a few months ago for her Birthday.  I can't wait to quilt it and see how it turns out.  I am a bit scared to begin the process, though, since it is my first attempt at quilting.  I will post the finished product once I complete it!  





This project is a pillowcase for my son out of minky and flannel.  He loves it and says he sleeps awesome on it!  I think I want a minky pillowcase!  





This is another gift I made for Christmas... a cute little toy bag for my nephew who is 1 year old.  He has been putting things in it and dragging it around the house!  Just what I hoped he would do.
