Christmas sewing & crafting tips and tricks

I’m getting into full-blown sewing and crafting mode for Christmas!

It can be overwhelming sometimes to think about everything that you want to get done before Christmas and the holidays – so many presents… so little time…

One thing that I use to help myself stay organized is a simple page on my computer that I have everyone’s names listed on, what I’m making them.  I sometimes also list the fabric and pattern I’m using.   I normally just use a basic word-processing program – but you can use whatever you’re comfortable with.

I find it really helps to keep everything written down, in order – where I can refer to it as needed.  Of course, you can also print it out and keep it pinned close to your sewing machine… but I don’t want to spoil the surprise if anyone sees my list

You can get as fancy as you want – but I find keeping it simple works for me.  Don’t panic – try organizing your list instead.
