join me over at Sew, Mama, Sew for my fabric focus column - this month we're whipping up one of my favorite little last-minute gifts - pocket tissue packs!
included in this tutorial are instructions to make 3 versions them, and chances are you'll find it addictive mixing and matching fabrics for each one. i made 15 in about an hour using only 4 quarter-yard pieces of fabric (translation = i was able to check off a whole bunch of names from our "to make" list).
and because i have leftovers and am trying to keep my little studio space free of clutter (and you know i am good at sharing)...
what say we have a giveaway!
these four colorful prints from the zoo menagerie collection by eleanor grosch for free spirit fabrics could be yours. (pieces measure 10" x 18" or larger.) wouldn't they look great patchworked together on a bag, or combined with a few bold solids on a quilt?

to win, leave a comment on this post answering this question:
what is your favorite last-minute handmade gift to make?
do you have an old stand-by goody that you knit, sew, cook, bake, whipup when a gifting need arises? please share it with us, and if there is a link to the project/recipe online, please share that as well!
comments close saturday morning (4-december) at some point when i switch on the computer and the winner will be announced right here. good luck + thanks for visiting! xoxo
