For Sewing Enthusiasts
Wow, can you believe that Christmas is just eight short weeks away!?! Just thinking about it makes me break into a cold sweat. But I’m in the no panic zone this year because instead, I’m going to focus on decorating the family tree with a few of these handmade Christmas ornaments.
With the holidays coming fast and furious, I hope that many of you have checked off those on your list. I believe that the gifting experience starts at first glance. That means, the wrapping counts.
Here are a few of my favorite gift wrapping ideas.

Let’s face it, the Christmas tree can look bare and (ahem) naked until those presents are piled underneath. Why not add a tree skirt? When adding a Christmas tree skirt under the tree, think outside the box. Your tree skirt doesn’t need to stick to the traditional red and green colorway. Sewing modern Christmas tree skirts will guarantee that, your tree will be the talk of the town!
