As Christmas draws near, I am steadily working on those last few gifts that are not quite finished….  If you are looking for something special to give a friend or family member this year, but you are feeling short on time, why not try making some embellished towels?

In this video clip from Nancy Zieman, you will see how to use the Flower Stitch Foot and also the Ruffler Foot to make some beautiful transformations to an ordinary kitchen towel.

Nancy’s so sweet, she even provides us with free instructions!  Embellished & Ruffle Trimmed Huck Towel

Isn’t Nancy awesome?

Well, I’ve got to get back to those unfinished gifts…..  I’m still in the process of making about 4 pairs of slippers, 4 more in-the-hoop wallets, some key fobs, embroidered mugs, 2 or 3 aprons, a couple of monogrammed towels, and a pair of tie-dyed looking batik bell bottom pants for my 14 year old….    (This list just needs a partridge in a pear tree and it could be a song!)

COFFEE!!!  I NEED MORE COFFEE!!!

By the way, take a look at these slippers!

These are a downloadable PDF pattern I found online. Click the image to go there and purchase. The pattern is half price for the holidays!

Let’s get sewing!
