Tree Ornaments to Sew


These last few weeks have been so busy! I'm sure you can relate. I have been doing some sewing, but haven't had much time to blog. I made these ornaments over the weekend and just got pictures snapped last night.
I saw this cute idea here and thought it'd be perfect to try. My mother-in-law requested a knitted a ornament and I realized I didn't have enough time to get one ready and send it off, so I sewed one instead. 
I think it's so cute (if a little wonky). 
I hope she likes it!
 When I cut this little tree down to size, I had some triangular scraps left over. Since the fabrics were 
already pieced together, I hated to just throw the them away. So...I stitched up the 4 triangular scraps and made a second tree ornament (the one on the left). I'm going to tie it to the top of a package for my friend.
Relatively quick and easy gifts. Done!
I made one other Christmas-y item in the last week and hope to post that in a day or two. (It's a quilted wall hanging and I looove it.)
Hope you all are enjoying the evening while your little ones are nestled in their beds!
Now off to wrap some presents...

Felted Mittens Ornament

 How about an easy Christmas ornament?
 I used a felted sweater, cut out two mitten shapes, then threaded them with black yarn. Quick, easy, and cute. The added bonus is that this was a sweater I really liked, that was given to me by a person whom I really like, but I couldn't wear it any more. So looking at the ornament on my tree reminds me of that person. Isn't that what our favorite ornaments are all about? Happy memories and loved ones?
