michael miller's twelve d.i.y.s of Christmas!

It's day six of mmf's twelve d.i.y.s of Christmas!!

Do you have a new family member? or a new house? I'm sure that you have some reason to make new Christmas stockings... especially monogrammed ones (which are all the rage these days)!

Amy of Britches N Bloomers created a great tutorial which can be found here. I love how she monogrammed each stocking to make it personal. You can also sew on some sequins and beads if you really want to bring the bling this season! 

If you need embroidered letters, try your local craft supply store or a Michaels.

Etsy also has some great sources for iron-on and sew-on monogrammed patches if you can't do it on your home sew machine:

So Supplies

I hope everyone is having a productive handmade holiday weekend!

Laura Gunn- Poppy Remix for the Holidays!

Laura Gunn's Poppy Remix is back by popular demand! Laura checked in with us with a project that is perfect for the holidays!

Here's what Laura had to say about it:

"Red is my go to color all year round.  So come December, it's always easy to work in some Christmas decor.  I discovered a few years ago that my poppies can look quite Christmasy with the right accessories.  And with these red and aqua circle garlands they look so cute and retro!"

"When I was making these circle garlands I wanted to incorporate red and white baker's twine. I also wanted the garland strung on something stronger then regular thread.  So I used an old trick of threading the bobbin on my machine with the twine (regular thread on top) and sewing straight through the garland.  It is so easy!!  A friend helped me make a little video tutorial."
