   I have quite a few things bookmarked I would like to do, or that might give you some ideas.  I hope do to a lot of handmade gifts this year as well, since we are super tight on $$$ right now. Btw, Im still a beginner too!  

   Do you want just sewing, or a variety of craft stuff?

  I am going to try my hand at sewing. I figured I can practice with fabric that is on sale.

  Some things I thought of but not sure if they are beginner or not

  Placemats

  Baby blanket or baby taggie blanket

  I see those placemat purses but not sure how beginner they are

  Any ideas would be great. I figured once I get good at sewing and can save to take a class I might be able to make some clothes next christmas but this year it has to be simple

  I always save links when I come across them for later.  I hope to do some of them for gifts this year.  This might be long, but I hope you find something helpful from my list.

  This is a ton to go through (and most of these sites have even more ideas for you).  Let me know if you need crafty ideas too, I have those as well!
