While an embroiderer can put her mark on almost anything, personalized Christmas gifts are among some of the most popular. For items that can be used for longer than just a few weeks, choose a winter theme that can be used for several months. Snowflakes, snowmen, penguins, and other wintry scenes also make good gifts for those who don’t celebrate Christmas.
Easy Christmas Tree Ornaments
Christmas ornaments are easy gifts to personalize and are also fairly inexpensive. Simply draw the desired shape for the ornament onto the fabric, center the design and stitch. Cut out shape leaving a ½” seam allowance. Cut back from matching or contrasting holiday fabric. Sew side seams, right sides together, leaving a small opening for turning. Trim seam allowances slightly, snipping curves or corner. Turn and stuff with polyfill, wool, or even old scraps for a heavier, primitive look. Stitch closed. Attach ribbon, twine, rick-rack, or embroidery floss for hanger on top. Hang it on the tree or give it away!
