Handmade Present Roundup

by Destri on November 28, 2009

Okay ladies it’s time to get serious.  If you’re making any of your gift giving splendor this year you’d best get started.  I scoured the talented blog world to round up some of the best tutorials I could find, and there are some good ones!  I am personally going to start with this checker board from i heart linen, soooooo cute!

i heart linen also has some other great little tutorials for gifts

This instructions to make this cute little belt can be found over on Creative Little Daisy

Looking for something to make the neighbor? I love this mat, brought to you by Sew Mama Sew

I found this cute little chefs hat via Sew Mama Sew.  If you are giving one of your kiddos a kitchen this year this would be a sweet addition.  The Curly Pops blog has all the details!

How ’bout some handmade gift bags for your gift giving season?  Find the how to on Canadian Living

I found that link plus a bunch more over on the long thread blog.

Speaking of the long thread blog,  I found this adorable house pouch that would be great to hold colored pencils

Also found via Sew Mama Sew, this little bread gift bag.  You will find the how-to on the adorable Adelaide Lemonade blog.

Here is a great little ipod or camera case, also on Sew Mama Sew.

I LOVE these journal covers I found on The Moda Bake Shop blog by Rosalyn from Bloom.

This cute bag tutorial was done for Moda Bake Shop by Izzy & Ivy designs, waaaaayyyy cute, and looks super easy!

I think this Snowman Kit from Make it Do would be a great gift for a family, I also found this…

Cozy little bed warmer tutorial on Make it Do.

What handmade roundup would be complete without a rice heat bag? Sew Mama Sew has all the good ones…

Don’t forget the scarf tutorial from yours truly

There were so many more I could have put up, and I know there are some great ideas I missed so please feel free to leave a link in the comments with ones that you have found!  Now I really must be going, I have some sewing to do.

Sew cute. I have been such a sewing slacker. I need to bust out the machine this week. I love the littel chefs hat, and I have been wondering how people make those cute journal covers. I need to give you a link to the cutest thing I have ever seen for little boys. It is like a crayon roll, but it is for match box cars. There is a flap that comes down before you roll it up. When the flap is open it is a road to drive the cars on. Tooo Cute.
Great post. Thanks for the ideas.

I LOVE the journal covers!! I can’t wait to do this. Thank you so much. I just don’t have time to surf the internet myself for these ideas. I love that you do it for all of us!!
I just have to finish the MANY crayon rolls I have started and then I can move onto these journals. I bought a bunch of composition notebooks for this purpose (I was just going to try to figure it out), but I love that I know exactly where to go for a step by step tutorial now! Thanks so much.
