I attend a weekly sewing group - which includes patch workers and cross stitchers.
I would love to get started on a present for each of the 8 ladies though am at a bit of a loss as to a project that would be suitable. I was thinking maybe a needle , scissor travel sewing kit set up but was just wondering if anyone had any other ideas / links ??

Stressed....Whose Stressed...Who Said That!
Some other ideas you can make:

Pin cushion
Sewing needle case
Simple draw string bags to put their work in
Bookmarks
A framed design or picture
Christmas ornaments
I have a wooden flat Christmas tree, with picture hooks on it, you attach little wooden squares to it. It counts down the days until Christmas Day. You can either paint it or scrapbook it.
