A handmade Christmas

Posted on

Shamefully I have to admit that 90% of my presents this year are store-bought. I'm sorry! I've just been so busy with my new, busy, exciting, stressful, full on, adventure-full job and moving into my new digs that I just haven't had time to make any handmade gifts. But there is one person who'll be receiving a handmade present this year.

These handmade, hand embroidered Link slippers are for the "S2BDIL" (soon to be daughter-in-law!) of a good friend of mine. You might remember I made some last year, well it's always good to go and revisit old projects and I'm really happy with slippers v2.0.

This time I played around with some vinyl for the soles - This time I tried a vinyl sole - it's got lots of grip on smooth surfaces (no lino skating with these!) but is durable enough for quick outdoor dashes to the rubbish bin/mailbox.
What handmade gifts have you made this year?
