One of my daughters pointed out this cute idea on Pinterest recently:
It's a travel pillowcase with a handle and a pocket for keeping books, IPods, etc. How cute is that! The original post came from
Amazing Mae. I have 5 "young" grandchildren and 3 "old" grandchildren. I made pillowcases for the 5 young ones and got each a new pillow. I think they'll love this!
And then I spied some of my Ghastlies fabric that I hadn't used and made this for another grandchild...one of the "old" ones:
It's a roll-up carrying case for knitting needles and other necessaries for that craft. Don't you love the knitting aunts? :)
I don't want to say it too loud but I think I've finished my Christmas sewing. Knock on wood. Cross my fingers. And it's not even Christmas Eve!

Well.............if you say the word finished................I'm pretty sure you'll find something else!
Wonderful pillows...but be careful if the kids are little...I can see the loop getting wrapped around necks. How awful that would be. Take care, and have a wonderful Christmas!

Great ideas! I love the knitting needle wrap out of Ghastlie fabric. May make myself a crochet needle one with my leftovers, too!

You did good with your stitching gifts. I do like that pillowcase with a handle idea. Birthday presents maybe. Warmest wishes (literally it is 68 degrees) for a wonderful Christmas surrounded by friends and family. Judy C in NC
