\"SewDuring this brand-new <\/span>Sewing With Nancy<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/em> series, <\/span>Sew Gifts\u2013Make Memories<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/em>, we\u2019ll be featuring gifts to sew that don\u2019t always start with fabric yardage.\u00a0<\/span>Sewing gifts ranks as the number one reason why most of us sew. When my guest\u00a0Mary Mulari<\/a><\/strong><\/span>\u00a0proposed the idea of sewing gift-giving solutions, I knew it was the perfect TV topic. Mary’s projects<\/span>\u00a0are clever, useful, and enjoyable to create. \u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

\"Sew<\/span>Our first gift project, in Sew Gifts\u2013Make Memories Part Two<\/a><\/strong><\/span>,<\/em>\u00a0is a Hanky and Doily Table Runner\u00a0made from items that might be tucked away in a drawer. A collection of vintage handkerchiefs are usually stored away and seldom seen. Choose several handkerchiefs and with just a few sewing steps, you\u2019ll have a table runner that\u2019s an attractive conversation piece.<\/p>\n

\"How<\/a>Next we’ll show how to sew a Two-Tie Belt.\u00a0<\/span>Is there a bag full of men’s neckties in one of your closets, waiting for an inspirational project? Here\u2019s one way to use two at a time and wear the results. The obi-style belt features a hidden pocket to store a credit card, money or other treasures. If the ties formerly belonged to a family member, your new belt has additional memories attached.\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

\"Sew<\/a><\/span>Our third gift project, in\u00a0Sew Gifts\u2013Make Memories Part Two<\/a><\/strong><\/span>,<\/em>\u00a0is a\u00a0Speedy Towel Apron.\u00a0<\/span>This unisex style apron is a speedy gift project sewn from ready-made towels. All you need are two canvas-weight or vintage towels, grosgrain ribbon and a little sewing savvy and you\u2019ll be able to stitch up a welcomed gift.\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

\"Sew<\/a><\/span>Tune in and watch\u00a0Sew Gifts\u2013Make Memories Part Two<\/a><\/strong><\/span> <\/em>to learn how to make Mary’s Upcycled Notebook Wraps.\u00a0<\/span>Make a classy new cover for a notebook, recipe book, journal, or photo album. These notebook covers started out as laminated shopping bags. Adjustable, upcycled book wraps are the perfect way to preserve the good memories stored inside.\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

\"Sew<\/a>Mary and I wrap up this new series with Everyone\u2019s Favorite Baby Bib.\u00a0You\u2019ll soon learn that guest and hand towels are easy choices for durable baby bibs. Mom, dad, grandmother, and caregiver will all appreciate having bibs on hand; so make several.<\/p>\n
