And a tailor’s ham in a pear tree

One of my favourite sewing blogs is written by Melissa at Fehr Trade. I found her blog after stalking her enjoying a few of her pattern reviews on Craftster, and I’ve been an avid reader ever since.
Today’s post is a fantastic idea – a print-out-and-keep gift guide for anyone wondering what to buy their sewing-obsessed friend, relative or loved one. The suggestions are all great, practical things that any sewer would love to receive, and the guide is clear and helpful – perfect for the non-sewer who may be a bit intimidated by the whole thing. I’ve already circulated the ubiquitous Amazon list to my relatives this year, but I’ll definitely be bookmarking this post for next time around.
It’d be nice to find similar lists for other crafts, too – heck, maybe we could even get round to it (just in time for next year)! I’d be happy to come up with a wishlist for jewellery making types (glue, weird pliers you don’t know you need yet, that sort of thing), and I’m sure Kirsty has some great tips for muggles looking to buy for knitters…

Aww, you’ve made my day! ;) I’m glad it’s so useful for you (see? I narrowly avoided a terrible pun there…)!
