making kids presents

I am starting to panic a bit about what to give my girls for chrisi, i want to make them stuff, I have been thinking about making other family members things and now i need to focus on making christmas special for them too.

and for me this means, not loads of commercial stuff, stuff that i cant afford anyway, but i just dont want to support all that commercialism.

i want to at least by local this year, that is from my small town, where there really is an abundance of quality goods.

but when it comes down to it, it really is just all stuff, so what to do?

i whipped up a skirt and top for each yesterday, and i mean whipped up, i would not be satisfied with the quality of workmanship for anyone else, but somehow i can get away with it for them.

i have a feeling she may not be into this top, but it is sweet, very 70's.

i looked at the skirt i made the other girl this morning and really there is no wow there at all so its ditched!
