Christmas progress

The inspiration for my February project comes from Marina at Maisie and the Boys who was my secret Santa in a 2010 Christmas exchange. One of the gifts she made and gave to me was a gorgeous little scissor keeper or sewing case, and I liked it so much I decided to make some to give too. I put together a couple of these in one night, and tucked some sewing goodies in. They look cute and and are really handy - just what I need in my gift stash. Thanks Marina.

FYI - This pattern is in Patchwork & Stitching magazine Vol 7 No 5

    What a good idea. It looks lovely. I will have to try something like that. I like the way is closes with the button and the beady string.

    This is so lovely, what a lovely present! I'd love to make these for my non-crafty friends - everyone has to sew on a button now and again! Did you use a pattern or did you just make it up?

    This is really lovely :) and I do like your blog, and my husband and myself really love holidaying in N.Z. South Island has drawn us holiday to you for the last four years and we hope to come back again next year. I do hope all is ok over there, your island is full of the most welcoming friendly people we have ever come across :)
