I am often looking for an easy home made gift to make for family and friends. Something different that I can use as a little extra addition to birthday and Christmas gifts. Not everyone sews so I like to make items that are useful for everyday.
I make these little boxes and use them instead of paper gift wrap or bags. Another cute little item is a note pad folio. These go together in just a couple hours.They take very little fabric. I used Tilda fabric and I even had a matching button for the fabric.The inside has a pocket that holds a 5 by 8 inch tablet. Fits nicely in your purse.The front has just three pieces and elastic cord makes an easy closure for the folio. They go together really fast. I finished off three in one short afternoon sewing spree of about 2 hours. Ready for some Christmas gifts. A little more progress on blocks 7 and 9 of the Flower Garden, just waiting for one additional fabric to arrive for number 8 in the center there. And my second mini project coming along nicely as well.
Oh I really love those little notebook purse folios..what a great gift idea...
ReplyDeleteYour appliqued flowers are just lovely...all those lovely curves on them--nice works hugs, Julierose
Those boxes are darling! Do you have a pattern? The note pad folios are adorable with that Tilda fabric. Very pretty applique. My hand hurts looking at them - lol!

What a great idea! Make a fabric box and put a little gift in it. Two gifts in one and you save on paper and time otherwise spent gift wrapping. They look lovely. Thanks for sharing on Wednesday Wait Loss.

ReplyDeleteLots of cute projects. Really good idea to do the little boxes for presents. Do recipients reuse them for gifts or adopt them for their own use?
ReplyDeleteYour fabric boxes and notebook covers are so fun! I bet people love receiving them for gifts. Your flower blocks are so pretty!
ReplyDeleteYour Flower Garden blocks are certainly growing! Only one more to go, perhaps? And they are really clever little gifts you have made for some lucky recipients,
ReplyDeleteSweet notebook covers and I'll bet the recipients love them. A very thoughtful gift. The boxes look really neat too but I bet they take a little more time & patience to make. Do you use a pattern? Your flowers are really making a lovely "garden" also.
ReplyDeleteQuick projects help break up those long term projects. Cute gift ideas.
ReplyDeleteI love your boxes, do they open on three sides? The note pad folios are cute too, as the two quilt projects, nice progress!
