Handmade Gift – Embroidered Grooming Kit

by

This year, when it comes to gifts made by me, small is the operative word. Because, to be honest, small = whips up in a flash, if you catch my drift.
The handy grooming kit above (like for nail clippers, cuticle scissors and such) is a small, useful and sweet item that can be made quickly and customized for pretty much anyone. The simple pattern has been in my head for a while and finally popped out the other day just in time for Christmas. I made these for some special people (who don’t read this blog as far as I can make out…) and they came together swiftly and painlessly.
Aside from speediness, a secondary bonus of making these is that I had everything on hand right here. The solid grey fabric is from an old pair of cotton pants, the lovely prints are from my bottomless scrap bin, and the buttons I rediscovered in my button stash.  I haven’t quite stuffed them with all the groomy goodies yet, but once I do, I think they’ll make handsome gifts.

 

I’ll be sharing the tutorial for a slight variation of these on Wednesday when I do my part in Gwenny Penny’s “Haul Out The Holly” so you’ll be able to make them too if you ever get a hankering!

Have a great day. I’ll be back on Wednesday then. ♥M

    These are very ice gifts! Wonderful combination of colors and materials. I look forward to see the tutorial 🙂
    And seeing what you made gives me some inspiration for some small gifts I have planned to make. Thank you!

    Lovely! Estoy deseando que llegue miércoles para seguir el tutorial, porque aún no he encontrado el regalo para estas navidades.
    Thanks.
