More Christmas sewing - I tend to assembly-line projects when it's something I like - it saves time, and uses up a nice lil bit of stash. Here are a few projects I've finished this month in
multiplicate :D
First up - more
Eunice bags - I've now made 9 of them, at last count. These are Christmas gifts for my neighbour girls - they'll have other goodies tucked inside (stickers etc.) :)

Wallets - tutorial
here - I did some of these last year for Christmas gifts, and this year I'm doing some for the kids that didn't get one last year. Some of them will get goodies tucked inside - gift cards or maybe even a little bit of $$$ ;)

Snowman hand puppets! I used
this pattern, but I sewed mine together - I don't actually make *glued* projects, generally - it's great for kids, but I prefer something a little more permanent :D These are for some neighour kids - I'm going to make one of my snowman drawstring bags (tutorial
here) to hold them - I think it's very appropos :D

I'm not very happy with my rocket finger puppets - things went awry from the first moment I started them, and didn't improve as I continued to work on them. They're too plain, and there's a problem with the ric rac on some of them - I'm just not pleased with the finished items, and will be making a new set. Not everything works out well, and these fit that description :D (The pattern for the rocket is from a Rocket Toss game I bought on Craftsy years ago - it's no longer available)

Rocket finger puppets - not a success, lol |
Christmas gift pillowcases :) Nice stash busting (about a meter per case), quick to make up (even with all the raw seams zigzagged) and best of all - useful :) I hope the kids like them :)

3 kids pillowcases - ants, ants and ladybugs |

Recently I
posted a picture of some Eunice bags I had finished up - one of the bags was made with soccer fabric (from Joanns). These 2 items will be tucked in that soccer bag - a wallet, and a flex frame bag - I wanted to use up the scraps, and I thought these would be fun for an 8 year old boy :)

That's it for now - I'm tempted to take a break, but I have lots of things I could be working on - and besides - sewing is fun :D I'll be back in Santa's
workshop dungeon tomorrow, I expect, working away on something :D
Linking up with several linky parties:
-
Ho Ho Ho and On We Sew for November (all of these items, lol)
-
New to Me for November (snowman and rocket puppets - a success, and a fail!)
-
Bag It - the 2 Eunice bags :)
I love those cheery Snowman puppets Sandra, I am not so sure that I would enjoy sleeping on top of all those ants though :) You are churning out handmade Christmas gifts at a rate of knots, there must be nobody left in your neighbourhood to make for!
