In addition to the usual gift ideas (like ornaments), I thought it would be good to give something useful. Something that served a practical purpose while still being pretty.
Something like these lovely, lacey pouches. Perfect to organize a purse or to use instead of one. They were quick to make too. I just cut rounded rectangles from the lacey fabric and some satin and pinned them together right sides out. Just fold to form a pocket and add bias tape to the edges. Finish with a snap and it’s good to go.
In addition to the lacey ones, I whipped up these pouches too. The top one is a simple zippered pouch but with the zipper in the center for easy use. The two on the bottom are a little more interesting. They are made of two fabric yo-yos with a zipper between them and buttons for decoration. A bit tricky to do but worth it. They will make excellent change purses. I’m thinking of making a tutorial for them, I just need to figure out how to explain it without confusing or annoying anyone.
