Well, I gave her two days of sewing. So far I made her 2 pairs of capris, a wrap skirt, and a blouse. I still have a skirt and another pair of capris to get done before I go home.

I made my mom a pair of capri's and a monogrammed shirt. She keeps saying she would like a pair of capri's, but she has yet to buy a pair, so I made her a pair! :)

She thinks it is funny to have her initial on her shirt since it is an 'L' :) I have just started learning how to monogram with a satin stitch, so it isn't perfect, but she will like it anyway!

I'm only sewing for my stepmom. I"m goign to make her a crochet hook roll for her 3 million crochet hooks. lol
For MIL I'm giving her my "old" sewing machine for half of what I was going to sell it for. It's her birthday/mother's day combo gift.
For my mom I had a pretty Grandmother's charm bracelet made with mine and my brothers' birthstones and our kids' birthstones. I still haven't mailed so it will be late but she expects that from me. lo
The kids adn I are going tmake Cards today.l am going to do some photo editing and make all the grandmas some nice picture collages of the kids to print out.
I'm making my MIL a shoe bag for traveling. I bought some decorator fabric in a real neutral shade or you can use dupioni silk and will embroider a scripted inital and a design of a shoe on the front. This is a super easy project and you can do without an embroidery machine, just applique a design on the front. I'm also lining the bag in neutral flannel. I got the idea from a magazine.

My momma and I split the Ottobre subscription every year for Moms Day. Plus, Im making kleenex pouches for my mom, MIL, grandma, Gram and sister. We dont get too elaborate on holidays like this, so the pouches are perfect.
