Read MoreNew Year New Uses: Fancy that Notion
/
If you are looking for that 'thing' in 2016 that will take your sewing to the next level, you are going to want to find a new way to look at incorporating notions. Now, what are 'notions'? Really, anything that isn't your main fabric for creating a garment is a notion; so your buttons, zippers, bias tape, hem tape, lace, sequins, even your thread can become a notion depending on how you use it.

Today we have Marnie sewing up her stash - for HERSELF!!! The third annual Sew Yourself Some Love is coming up in February, and this is a such a great reminder that sewing for yourself doesn't need to be expensive - becasue you probably have enough materials for at least one outfit in your STASH!!! Check out what she does with the Violette Field Threads Harlow Dress.

Welcome back to day two of Sew Your Stash. This is such a simple and fun challenge - find some fabric in your stash and a pattern you own and haven't sewn and MAKE IT!!! You wont be sewing alone, I'm sewing as are people all through the sewing community, so join us over in the Pattern Revolution Facebook Page and share what you are working on.
Alexis is here today to sew her stash - and ummmmm, I think I want access to her stash - dang girl, these are pretty!!!! Check out what she does with the Cali Faye Valley Blouse.

I tend to think of adult gifts as being hard to fit in the 'handmade' category....but really they don't have to be at all!!!! We've already shown you adult Socks and Pajamas that will make great gifts, and don't forget those teacher totes and notebook covers that are also great for girlfriends and the in-laws!!!! Today, Lisa is here to share the perfect gift for any cools in your life. While she has whipped up a gorgeous floral version, I can completely see my BBQ loving little brother wearing this as he teaches his kids the art of the grill.
The simple lines are perfect for showing off a great fabric or adding a fun embroidery or applique. These kitchen sayings from Urban Threads always make me smile (My in-laws are getting a set of towels with these embroidered, but I'm thinking they need a matching apron now too!!!) Check Lisa's take on the Make and Create Apron from Pattern Emporium.

If you could pick one day to spend anyway you wanted for the Holidays, what would you do???? Would it be a day filled with friends and wine, a day of baking cookies and doing fun crafts with the kids, or maybe...... a day relaxing, in pj's, and sewing purely for fun!
The Free Parisian Night Pajama Pants can be found in the Winter Wear Designs Fun Facebook group. These make an awesome gift to yourself for lounge days, and since they are knit with a yoga waist, they are a great gift to give to others as well. Check out Lisa's SUPER pair....

We've all been there, opening gifts Christmas morning when you get to that dense, lumpy package (that usually says, from 'mom'); and you just know you got your yearly issue of new socks....ummm, gee thanks! Well thanks to The Wolf and the Tree, giving socks is no longer hum drum!!!! Take socks for adults up a notch by making them a gift that your sisters will squeal over and that will put a sloppy smile on your husbands face - because making them for you is as much of a gift for him, promise!!!
