Round up {Stephanie from Toastie studio}

Well today was my deadline as I had to get all my gifts in the post so they will arrive with my family in time.
Now the big question, did I complete everything on my Christmas sewing list?

YES!!!

This weekend was crazy, but I managed it! Here is a round up of everything I made.
1 Sponge Bob cushion

1 Gruffallo cushion

2 Christmas stockings, filled with sweets

2 Fabric storage baskets filled with sweets

1 Baby quilt for a soon to arrive niece

6 shopping bag holders in different colours for family members

And now it is all wrapped up and in the post to my family in time for Christmas. I can have a little relax now until I start my Christmas Tutorial Advent Calendar...

Week Two {Stephanie from Toastie Studio}

ARGH!! My Christmas sewing keeps getting side tracked!! I did at least make a start on gifts.
I made two fabric boxes from camouflage fabric, and filled them with a selection of dutch chocolates and sweets.

Later today I am cutting out and sewing two stockings for my nephews which I will also be filling with dutch candy.
And I am still madly searching for ideas on what to make for the adults and need to find something fast as time is running out!! 2 weeks left till I need to send it all off!!

Week One {Stephanie}

Last week I shared my list for the Christmas Challenge hosted by polka dot daze. Because of the craft fair I haven't really done much on the list, but I did make sketches of my cushion designs for my nephews.

I am making them a sponge bob cushion and a gruffalo cushion.

I also did some more brainstorming for adult gifts. I find this so difficult because I normally make children's things. I have been pinning lots of ideas on pinterest and will have to make up my mind by the end of the week!
And although I don't know what I am making, I did find a really pretty fabric yesterday that I think I will be using.

Christmas Challenge List {Stephanie}

Well this last week was busy, but I did find some time to think about my Christmas gift list! I am also including items I need to make for two birthdays as I have to post them with all my other items back to the UK at the end of November.

Kids gifts
4 large felt Christmas stockings with different designs. I am going to then fill with dutch chocolate and candy.
1 Sponge Bob cushion cover
1 Gruffalo cushion cover

Adult gifts
I need to find an idea to make small gifts for older family members. I am still trying to decide what to make/buy for them but here are some ideas.

• Christmas decorations
• Candles or soap
• Dutch candy hamper in a handmade box
• Felt coffee coasters with cup and coffee beans
• Lavender scent bag
• And still searching for more ideas

I sometimes wish I had kids because then there are so many other ideas I could make!
