Well the special holiday week has arrived and the festive season is in full swing here in Central Florida, with shops full of such fine decorations and homes that shine like beacons in these clear cold nights. Surrounded by such visual stimulus it's hard not to see custom sewing opportunities everywhere I go around Sanford and Lake Mary. I wonder how many of you have taken on a sewing project? Maybe you have decided to make custom Christmas socks, to hang over the mantels of your own home or to give away to close friends.
These simple Christmas socks present such opportunities to create any color combinations and to have a gift that will last for years and be meaningful to your friends or grandkid or even a neighbor that you like. Custom sewing brings such job to folks who just don't have the skills to do the work themselves.
A quick look around the internet will provide you with so many ideas. Take this link below for example - what a great selection of custom sewing Christmas socks to choose from.  http://www.topdreamer.com/29-creative-diy-christmas-stockings/

And you don't need to just concentrate on Christmas Stockings - there are so many great seasonal sewing opportunities to start working on - many are small items that will make ideal gifts. Check out this link for some creative ideas.

The beauty of custom sewing is that it can be customized to the season we're in and Christmas presents one of the best opportunities to be creative and colorful. Custom sewing chair covers, pillows, cushions and even smaller items to garnish walls and halls around your house can all be designed to have a festive theme. These small items can be folded flat and posted to your friends anywhere across the US and even worldwide. That's a service I offer and you would be surprised how many people ask me to post small custom sewing items to their extended family in far away places.

It's also a great time to make your wishes known for a new upscale sewing machine too? Maybe if you believe hard enough it will arrive on Christmas morning :>>
No matter what's on your list or what your custom sewing project is, I wish you luck with it and I wish you all well for the holidays and for the year ahead too.

Hi All, I just wanted to update you that I’m working on several interesting sewing projects leading into this Christmas holiday season. I’m so excited to help out with home decorating projects this season with new slipcovers and window treatments for my clients. This year there is notable increase in the demand for window treatments and perhaps that's an indication of an improving economy?

Sewing projects are always exciting, and even more so when there is a seasonal atmosphere in the air, with the excitement of friends and relative popping in to see the results of your effort.  Demand for recliner slipcovers seem to peak in these months of winter - maybe its the long evenings and warm fires.

And when it comes to writing your Christmas gift list, why not consider some sewing related gifts, like maybe a new sewing machine. And maybe treat someone special to some really nice fabrics. Sewing gifts come in so many price ranges and will always be appreciated by your friends who like to sew.

No matter what you are working on, stay focused and you will get it finished in time for the holidays. And if you run into any problems on your sewing project then give me a call. I might be able to help you out, even over the phone.

Have a great sewing week.
