My Handmade Holiday: so close to completion!

by Aimee | Dec 24, 2016 | Cooking not Stitching, Featured, Getting Crafty, Handmade Holiday, Personal Projects

Here’s what I’ve managed to finish up so far. This is just a picture dump so that I can get back to work on the three small items that remain. I had 50 gifts to make and 40 days–though in totalling up distinct items (pairs of shoes, individual components of gift baskets), I’ve made 64 things so far!

Done! Though the recipients can't wear them outside for 48 hours… #handmadeholiday #50giftsin40days

Made the mistake of getting a Barbie's little sister doll for Theo. Now she "needs pants." The little leggings are about 2" tall. If I'm going to sew this tiny, at least I can use up my Spoonflower scraps. #handmadeholiday #50giftsin40days

So many of my friends are Whovians, I figure there's not much risk of ruining the surprise. There really is no telling who will get this gift. #50giftsin40days #handmadeholiday

A couple of Barbie fashions for the doll collectors in training. They fit original, tall, and curvy, too! #handmadeholiday #50giftsin40days

Batman v. Superman should be better in the kid imagination-produced version. I hope. #handmadeholiday #50giftsin40days #makebelieveisbetter

Kid + adult Infinity bags in Cars and Trucks and Things That Go print. Easy peasy pattern from @fabric_ninja. The painful part was paying for this out of print fabric. #handmadeholiday #50giftsin40days

Handknit dish cloths are the best. According to the Internet, this is the best homemade dish soap, a perfect pairing. We'll see. #handmadeholiday #50giftsin40days

Kind of sad that this filled a dozen jars almost exactly. #50giftsin40days #handmadeholiday
