My mom was a seamstress so she taught us to sew, even the boys; she also taught most of us how to do hand embroidery, crochet and to knit. Material was very inexpensive then and my mom got a discount on it.
We made most all of our Christmas ornaments. I remember one year we made gold and white angel ornaments from Tulle and Organza, and the angel for the top of the tree was out of satin and fur.
I think that was the prettiest tree we ever had. We also made most other things for our home like quilts, curtains, and hand embroidered dish towels which we used for gifts for family and friends.
I am happy to say that I have carried on my mom’s tradition of making a lot of the Christmas decorations for my home and tree, and I quilt too.

Making a beautiful mother/daughter pair of dresses for Easter Sunday is always a delight, but Christmas is fun and fantasy and spirituality combined. I like to make things, such as elf collars and hats for the preschool class, as well as stockings for all the little goodies and dresses for church and visiting. So many fun things to do!

In the few months before, as I am getting ready for card club, I usually do a few 'new' things for my home. It could be a patio or a new chandelier or paint a couple of rooms. This year I made a headboard and new curtains for the kitchen. we had already painted and metallicized the bathroom. I also stitched up new napkins(every year it seems I do new napkins and boy, do I have stashes of napkins, esp. fall). I also made two new embroidered 52X52 tablecloths and a cou ple of pillowcases for prizes. So, that is my fall... my house gets really cleaned and everything gets organized and new things become...

Now my favorite is Halloween, because it is just for fun. A tip; a 4'X 80' roll of black landscape fabric can create great table covers, drape any pile of stuff - pull apart some fluff to make spider webs to hang on it. Make bats to hang outside or in. I sewed three strips of it together, to make a 12'16" drape over a large piece of furniture (sews like any fabric). It can also be used for costumes, and can later go outside to serve it's original purpose. HAVE FUN!!!!

I decided I liked sewing something that had more usage than one month.

I love all things fall -- new table clothes, napkins, placemats, wall hangings, throw pillows, quilts, and on and on. I love the colors of fall and the warm homey feeling I get from being surrounds by them. I guess I just get in my "Becky Homeckie" mode in the fall.

I always use to make pjs for my 5 children, but now it is just my youngest(12) that will wear them. I did just make my 23 yr old a tutu from the Thread Banger tutorial. She wore it to a Halloween party last night. AHH the good old days......

I do know that I do not like sewing for Halloween....I'm not sure if it's knowing that the costume will not be used much (although when my kids were little the costumes went right into their dress up boxes) or if it was having a deadline. As soon as I have a deadline, sewing becomes work and not as much fun!
