So in the rush leading up the holidays, I forgot to get pictures of most of my handmade gifts this year. Here are two that I did record!
For my best friend's new baby, I made The Purl Bee's Felt Baby Shoes. I featured these as a Nice Thing a few weeks ago, and had actually already made them. I didn't say anything about it, because I didn't want to ruin the present surprise! This was one of those patterns that I saw and had to sit down and make instantly. Luckily the pattern didn't disappoint - it was really fun to put together!
I also had a great time making Ginger & George's Dino Hoodies for my nephews. Sadly I only have this one phone photo (taken by my brother in law), but trust me, these are adorable. They were also very quick to sew, which is probably a good thing, because my six-year-old nephew is growing so fast that he might need a bigger one before winter is over!
Did you make any gifts this year? How did they turn out?

I made my step-dad a hat which turned out really well. I also made one of my friends some wrist warmers from a pattern I made up myself (first pattern pride).
Those little booties are lovely. Well done on accomplishing such a sweet project.
