This year I am trying to give only homemade gifts. It is giving me a great reason to sew, it saves money, and I can use up some of my excess fabric. (Is their even such thing as excess fabric?) So far I’ve done okay, but not great. Mostly because I just run out of time and energy to make it all.
But a little while ago Emma was invited to a birthday party, and I had the idea to try and make an owl pillow, similar to one that we had seen at Target and loved. I used only fabric and scraps that I had on hand, and appliqued most of the pieces on. I was so pleased with the outcome!
Emma was in love with it also, which made her so excited to give it to her friend! And it also made her really want to keep it for herself. Maybe she can help me make one in her own fabric choices. :)
