Handmade Gifts ~ Citrus Pouch


Happy Friday!
Today I am sharing another handmade gift idea for my Handmade Holidays series.


I designed the citrus pouch for the Liberty Craft Blog.  
It is the perfect size for a pencil pouch.
I have shown it here with a lovely, colorful Moleskin Sketch book and some fun colored pencils.
Another perfect gift for your creative friends and family.



It is also the perfect size for portable sewing supplies or a make-up pouch.


The fabrics used in the pouches pictured are from Liberty of London. They are a lightweight cotton lawn, but any quilting weight cotton print or solid would work nicely, too.

You can find the pattern and instructions on the Liberty Craft Blog [HERE]

  Happy Sewing

Handmade Gifts ~ Good Night Nightie



Today I am going to share a night gown I designed for Stitch Beautiful Bedrooms.
Another gift for a special gal in your life.

The neckline has a pretty ruffle detail made with elastic thread.
The armholes are bound with self fabric binding that also creates the shoulder straps.



A perfect night gown made in a lightweight cotton voile, it would be equally lovely made in a drapey silk or rayon.
The hem has a pretty lace trim detail.


A lovely gift paired with a pretty scented soap.

You can find the FREE pattern on the Sew Mama Sew website [HERE]

Happy Holiday Sewing!
