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

It's day four of MMF's twelve d.i.y.'s of Christmas and we bring to you a sweet, homemade gift idea that is perfect for a coworker.

How excited would you be if someone brought you a coffee, tea or hot chocolate (yum!) in a Christmas cozy?! It would surely brighten your day! See Kate Sew created this adorable tutorial and we made a couple of festive button-up cozies out of our Christmas collection.

Need a hot chocolate recipe? A Night Owl rounded up over 25! I'm sure one of them will be perfect. Comment if you make one that we should all try!

See you tomorrow!

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

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas and if you're anything like me, you're just starting to make fun gifts for friends and family for the holidays... Well, we're here to help! It's time for the first project of Michael Miller's Twelve D.I.Y's of Christmas!

How cute is this pencil case? Perfect for the artist or the student in your life... 

We found the pencil pouch tutorial on See Kate Sew's blog and used our new line, All the Trimmings (coming soon), to sew it up.

See you tomorrow with day two of Michael Miller's Twelve Days of Christmas!

Glitz Up Your Party... DRESS!!

Last week we glitzed up your party... this week, we glitz up your party dress!

Gold metallic in unexpected patterns can add the perfect amount of dazzle to your dress...

If you'd like to re-create the look above, there are a couple options for patterns. Vogue has a good selection of retro inspired dresses-- Vogue 8789 and 2960 would both work well with the Confetti Border in Confection.

The clutch (pictured above) was made with Sleek Chevron in Glitz.

I found a great tutorial for an envelope clutch on See Kate Sew ... you'd just need to find a glitzy pin!

If you'd like to re-create the outfit that Little Miss O is wearing, just click on the links below!

The dress pattern: Burda's Peter Pan Collar Dress

The dress fabric: Quarter Dot in Mist

The sneakers: OshKosh gold high-tops from Target 

The socks: Eyelet socks from the Gap

The collar is Cotton Couture in Bright White with gold sequins...
 I found a great tutorial over on the blog, Thanks, I Made It. 

(The gold jewelry is from my own stash- I pick it up whenever I see it on sale or in a vintage shop- it's so hard to pass up anything gold and glittery!) 

If you'd like to re-create Little Miss E's dress (pictured above and below) just click on the links!

The dress: Made by Rae's Geranium Dress

The dress fabric: Confetti Border in Glitz

She had cute gold mary jane's... but preferred her bare feet :)

Gold mary jane's: Bow Ballet Flats

Happy sewing!
