You manage to create items with anything between scrap pieces to bought items and end up with Winners every time. The T-shirt book bags are going to be loved and the socks look so easy and good I may have to make a pair for myself. I hope Santa has something special for you this year.crazyQstitcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10534395470078739309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24429902.post-54006457705236720462020-11-10T10:45:52.940-05:002020-11-10T10:45:52.940-05:00Yes Christmas is in full swing here at Chez Magpie...Yes Christmas is in full swing here at Chez Magpie, but all that is about to come to an end because I'm just about done.

The size of the bags was pretty much decided by the size of the t-shirt graphics although I did add a strip of fabric around a couple of them to make them a bit larger. <br />As for the journals - I'm with you in thinking they are somewhat impractical but gorgeous all the same.Magpie's Mumblingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09852241848575954128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24429902.post-84173576044387556312020-11-10T00:36:24.729-05:002020-11-10T00:36:24.729-05:00Making great progress on your Christmas items.
