I've been really enjoying making pressies for the boys' friends birthdays at the moment. Maybe they'd prefer Spiderman or Barbie but I think there's something special about home made gifts. We have a lot of birthdays at the moment so not all of them are going to be made by me. I can't believe that I used to be scared of the sewing machine, crazy. I'm aiming for a homemade Christmas this year too. Might have to get started soon! I made this felt pencil roll yesterday. No pattern, just a couple of pieces of felt and a ribbon. I'm not sure if the birthday boy liked it (I wasn't there when he opened it) but I'm sure his mum did ;o)

I'm sure when all the birthday excitement wears off, he will love using his special pencil case. I think a homemade present list is a great idea, I've been thinking of it myself. Men are always a little tricky though. Good work!
I love it MEg! You are sew clever :) x
Hey Meg, I love this idea...definitely going to steal it one day. I have been making patchwork quilts, so much fun choosing all the lovely fabrics. Love Jane xx
