I have a couple of patterns I've taken off the internet. I'll get one out if any float your boat, but I'm not going to find them unless you're interested. PM me if any of these sound good: a bed warmer (a pouch filled with rice or corn or something that you microwave to warm up--I have one and I love it); pocket hand warmers--same priniple; sweatshirts with a zipper as an embellishment (sounds weird, but it's cute--could be embroidered, although sweatshirts are hard); Santa quilted doorhanger.

I also have an embroidery machine if that helps. Thanks !

I have written my own instructions for this handy sewing bag. I believe I have already posted the instructions, but will do so again here. Also a picture of the one I make. This bag does not take very long to make and is so handy.
Also directions for a matching Needle book.
I hope you and others will find these helpful.
Happy Christmas.

I made my friends bookmarks this year for Christmas. Also made some for daughters and granddaughters. I made these on my embroidery machine.
