Make it Yourself

There are literally thousands of patterns available on etsy alone, and wonderful tutorials can be found on sites like Instructibles and ThreadBangers (not to mention the mother load of tutorial videos that can be found on YouTube). One of the greatest advantages to kits and patterns from these sources is the person who created them is accessible. You can convo or e-mail or leave a question in the comments and actually get an answer from the personal that knows it back to front. Over the last couple days I have included a couple of patterns, but the majority has been completed items. However with Christmas 20 days away there is still just enough time to squeeze a handmade treasure or two onto your gift list.
