Its not long until November, and the xmas sewing needs to ramp up. My sewing room is still in disarray, but I am working with it at the moment, and choosing not to stress.

Mostly, I have been working on my work friends gifts, however, I switched to family this weekend. This is the first of two pillowcases for my nephews. In my quest to avoid gift wrapping paper this year, these will actually be the wrapping paper for their gifts. A couple of strategic pieces of tape, and a big ribbon wrapped around, and the wrapping can be used after the present is opened. I was working out a solution on the fly, for not having a big enough piece of fabric. The print being sideways will bother me, but I am sure my nephew will not give a flying fig.
