From our family to yours, we wish you all the best in 2014! It’s been an amazing year and we are prepped and ready for an incredible holiday season. But, it wouldn’t be nearly as wonderful and amazing as it has been without all of you. I love the connections, heartfelt and full, that have been made through this little blog and thank all of you so much for reading and cheering me on!
In that spirit, I’m sharing my favorite last-minute gifts! First up is this incredible infinity scarf tutorial from imagine gnats:
One of my students turned me on to this tute and I’m so glad. She managed to whip of 6 of them in one morning! I made these two in a jiffy… they definitely came together easily.
Another favorite of mine is the small wallet. This $3 pattern from Valori Wells makes a great wallet…an easy and cute way to give cash or a gift card without feeling awkward. It’s my go-to teacher gift!
Now, I really hope your gifting is done and you are nestling somewhere enjoying the quiet and ready to relax. But, just in case, you are wondering what to make and eyeing your machine, I hope these tips come in handy.
I, for one, am about to polish off a bottle of red wine and kick some butt at a game of Scrabble before I play Santa! Happy Holidays all!! You are the best.

Great links, Melissa. I’m thinking that Infinity Scarves would be great accessories for my kids too. Did you make the scarf in your photo? I love it. Am also glad to hear of another wine-drinking seamstress. Here, here!

Hello Brienne! I think kids would love the infinity scarves and they are so easy to make. I did make the ones in my picture. And, amen to wine-drinking seamstresses! My sewing is much better when I’m on the wine. 🙂
