Happy November, everyone! I can’t believe we’re heading into the holiday gift making season already. I wore my down coat today. That was not OK, Chicago… not OK at all.
So, you all are taking the Essential Wristlet pattern and running with it and I’m loving everything you are making! I think this will be a favorite for gifts this year!
Kathy P over at The Cotton Cellar shows off this little gray and yellow one and she has already made a bunch for her Etsy shop! Go check it out!

Ellen (who must be one of my most enthusiastic customers!) has also been stitching away! Ellen was one of my testers and she came up with the stacked pocket idea! Read her review of the pattern on her blog here. You can “Like” Stitchings by Ellen on Facebook and Ellen’s energy will rub off on you!

I am loving following everyone on Twitter and Instagram as you make them! So, so cute! There is also some fun stuff going on over on Flickr! OK, these aren’t all wristlets, but they are fun!

So is everyone doing “Handmade Holidays” or at least shopping local or shopping handmade? Have you made the wristlet or one of my other patterns? Are you making extras for gifts or to sell on Etsy? Leave your links in the comments so we can all see!
I can’t wait to see what you are all making!
I was starting to think I wasn’t going to make anything for Christmas this year but last night I went out and bought zippers and interfacing. So, it looks like my brain has other ideas for me. I still need fabric but that’s fun “work”.
And you know I love my new two zip hipster!
Thanks for featuring my earphone pouch, I’ve been making lots of these, a friend commissioned 10 for Christmas gifts! At some point I will start making Christmas gifts for my family!
Thanks so much for including my Essential Wristlets in your round-up, Erin! And the links back to my blog & Etsy shop are much appreciated too. I’m really enjoying your patterns and look forward seeing what you’ve got coming up next! Happy Holidays :)
Awe….thanks for including me in your round-up! I think I’m your biggest fan!!
I plan on making the essential wristlet for Christmas gifts for my mother-in-law, myself, my sister-in-law, myself, my 2 best friends, myself, my daughter’s teacher, myself… I should be an expert by the time I finish!!!
I just found this post, and was so, so, so suprised to see that I was included in your round up. Your patterns rock! Thank you for acknowledging me!
Thanks for the pattern! Friends love the,!
