I used to sew quilt and pillow sets for fun. It takes no time, and they're a gift you can put a lot of yourself in to. Also, I take old band shirts, cut them up, and sew them into more 'modern' styles.

I have included a bunch of links. DIY.NET is a good one. Better Homes %26amp; Gardens is great also.


The links are some I have in my favorites. Now, just because it may say embroidery project - forget the embroidery business, and make the project with out it.


Also, just go back to main page on some that are direct links to projects I liked.

Reply:This year everyone is getting embrodieried pillowcases lol. You can get prestamped ones for around 6 dollars a set and about a dollar for thread and that is a usable all year round gift. Another thing I have done is My dad is an older man that still uses handkercheifs so I embrodiered a monogram on some plain ones. Also hand towels for the kitchen are good Ideas too.
