Don't panic, it's just Christmas kids!

I praise the day when I can turn around in mid December and say 'Christmas is covered'. Alas this day seems to be somewhere on the Horizon for the time being. Until then, I have been working as hard as Santa's little elves this week and continue to make as many of my own Christmas pressies as I can manage. 


The stash so far...


Cotton napkins with Crochet flower.


I basically hemmed 4 evenly sized squares and then attached some red crochet flowers that I had made months ago.


If you're not hot on crocheting, then you can keep a look out at vintage fairs (where I have often seen bags of the tiniest crochet ever!). Failing this, log-on to e-crafter where you can buy 100 mixed tiny crochet flowers...





Mens neckties, complete with Vintage buttons (also available in my Etsy shop soon...)









Cushions




I made these using medium weight cotton to sew these soft to the touch black and white striped cushions. I found a bundle of this fabric in the North Laines where (in my opinion) the best non-vintage fabric shops of Brighton can be found. I love the colour coordination of this fabric; the cushions look like something that would feature in Jack Skellington's home!


Have you been busy making gifts in the name of Thrifty spirit? Does anyone have secret ammunition that they pull out during the festive season? Get in touch loves!


Merry Craftmas Folks!
