Totes for the Holidays

Five days left until Christmas means there’s still time for more sewing!! Today’s featured projects are easy to make and perfect for that last name left on your list. Maybe it’s for that dear friend who just happens to be hosting a Christmas Eve dinner, or perhaps even for your sister who always appreciates that handmade touch.

Jenelle Clark of Echinops & Aster created this Holiday in Paris Gift Set last year, but it’s so cute we had to share it again. The tote holds essential oil infused bath salts & a lavender eye pillow to help your giftee relax after the hectic holiday season.
