Holiday Project Round-up

If you're a crafter, you're probably often tempted to make what you need or want instead of buying it. But there's only so much time for projects, so how do you decide what to make and what to buy? The Modern Mrs Darcy has created a flowchart to help you decide.
Sew Mama Sew is just finishing up their 7th Annual Homemade Holidays round-up. Each day features easy to make gift projects along a theme plus printables, recipes and books. There are tons of gift ideas for everyone. Don't forget to check out past archives as well. I love these scrappy ornaments.
Coasters are an easy gift idea. They're small, and fast and don't take much fabric. If you're feeling ambitious you could stretch the size and technique to sew matching trivets, pot holders, napkins, placemats, table runner or even a throw pillow. Here's a round-up from Apartment Therapy. I like the felt coasters from craft snob. Pefect for my long ride to Grandma's house this Thanksgiving.
Happy Thanksgiving and safe travels, everyone!
