Getting in the Holiday Spirit with One Thimble
I'm starting to get that warm fuzzy feeling inside. The Holidays always do that to me. I love the buzz of people, visiting with friends and family, gift giving, the whole holiday experience! The 4in of snow we have here in Southeast Michigan help too! lol
The latest One Thimble sewing magazine has sent me over the edge! There are so many amazing patterns that are perfect for the Holidays! I couldn't choose just 1, so I chose 3 patterns to review.
First up is the Sweet Grace Ruffled Headband by Snickerdoodle Stew. This is Jessica's first published tutorial and she did an amazing job! Her tutorial is easy to follow and includes step by step instructions and color photos. The tutorial gives measurements for sizes newborn-adult which is awesome!
I really like the look of this headband. The proportions are perfect, but you could easily change the dimensions of each layer if you want.
I really like the added embellishments! I will add a cute flower to the next one! There are so many different ideas I have. I will be making a bunch of these for my daughter for Christmas! Super easy and fast, and these would make amazing gifts for any lady in your life!
We think this pattern is total winner! If you are looking for a simple but great looking headband, you can't go wrong with this!
Since I made something for my favorite lady in my life, I knew I needed to make something for my gents. And what better for my art loving boys than the Art Caddy by Damaya Designs.
Who wouldn't love an awesome art caddy?? These are going to make perfect Christmas gifts for my gents. I will make another in opposite fabrics for my youngest boy.
This tutorial is wonderful! The instructions are easy to follow and include color photos which are so helpful. The photos are even labeled to correspond to the correct instruction!
This caddy holds a TON of supplies! On one side, you have 9 crayon pockets and a large pocket perfect for papers, stickers, felt. The list in endless! I put some of our favorite glitter foam pieces in there and they fit great!
The other side has 12 smaller pockets perfect for colored pencils of the twistable crayons and both medium and small pockets. The medium sized pocket is great for a pair of scissors, a small pad of paper or some stickers. The smaller pocket is perfect for a few glitter markers!
This pattern is awesome! My boys are going to flip when they open these at Christmas! I mean, who doesn't love art supplies?!?!? These make great gifts for any budding artist in your life!
Since I now have gifts for all my kiddos, I knew I needed something to spruce up my house, and the Bunting 3 ways by Willow and the Owl was exactly what I was looking for!
Time to deck the halls!! I decided to go with a somewhat non traditional look for my Christmas banner. And since was are a somewhat musical family, I thought this Fa La La La La banner was fitting!
This tutorial was wonderful! Very easy to follow with great color photos and helpful hints. I have NEVER appliqued before, and while this in no where near up to my normal standards of work, for a first time I thought I did ok!
After looking at the bunting, and knowing I LOVED the look, I decided it would suit my boys' room the best! It's a great addition to their room and will look perfect for the Holiday season!
The tutorial includes 3 different shapes, triangle, scallop, and rectangle. It also includes a bunch of different applique shapes to use. I chose to use these super cute music notes that I found during one of my many Pinterest searches!
The tutorial also gives great ideas if you are going to applique letters onto the bunting and many helpful hints. This is a great tutorial for beginners!
I can see myself using this tutorial a lot for name banners, different holiday sayings, and it would also make a great gift! I will definitely by making more of these!

ReplyDeleteReally nice holiday photos. I really enjoyed reading through this post. At the local Chicago event venues we also would be celebrating our daughter’s 2nd birthday and we too would use Xmas holiday theme for this bash. I am sure it would be a fun family party.
