Christmas Projects

I made a few items for gifts this year, but this project was by far my favorite (to look at, not necessarily to make...it was actually really hard!). I made my sister-in-law this laptop case.

I absolutely loved this fabric! The case is padded and zips closed. I gave it a pink lining and a pocket on the inside too. I even put a cute little leather flower on the zipper pull.
She seemed to really like it. (I was kind of hoping she wouldn't so that I could keep it for myself....even though I don't even have a laptop. ha ha ha)


I also made about 20 of these fleece ear warmers. They were super simple and cute so I made them for all of my cousins (pictured) and all of Brian's cousins.

I love them because they don't mess up your hair like a stocking hat does, you can wear a ponytail with them and you can wear them over a ballcap. I made some pretty flowered ones for the girls and brown camo ones for the boys. I had less than $1 in each of them.

And of course as I was shopping for fabric I came across these adorable prints and patterns so I just couldn't resist making this shirt/dress for Kinley too.
