    I make boxes, bowls, bags and wallets, sew clothing. I just made a knitting needle roll and bed caddies as Christmas gifts. I also make little bags to hold necessaries in the purse and tissue holders. I've also made pillowcases and pillows, doll clothes and just have fun.

    I'm with you Ninnie. Although I do make gift bags, though that is mainly out of tapestry pieces, remnants that the stores toss out.

    Most of my fabric pieces are a yard or smaller (usually smaller) so I tend to stick to quilting. I have done napkins, placemats, and such. Does that count?

    Mostly for quilting. However last week I pulled out my old Christmas fabrics, one's that I would not use in a quilt because they weren't top quality and made 9 aprons for the ladies in my family for Christmas.

    I use mine to make pillow cases, pillows, baby clothes, hot pads, placemats and aprons. The hot pads come in handy for birthday presents for friends.

    I do a lot of different sewing. I am getting ready to do maternity clothes for my dd.
