Shhh... A birthday present!

I really should not be showing you this yet.

It is a birthday gift for my mom.

I am going to give it to her tonight

BUT

I really, really, really am bad at keeping my own secrets!

AND

I really LOVE how it turned out!

I made her a scarf and cardigan set.

(BAHHH!! I am SO pregnant!)

Didn't it turn out cute?!

I followed the instructions for the scarf from mamma says sew's blog.

Mine did not turn out NEAR as ruffly because I did not use very stretchy fabric.

I knew this would be the case,

But I really loved the fabric for my mom

And she is not really a ruffly kinda girl!

I like the understated ruffles.

I got the idea for the cardigan from behind the seam's blog.

It is seriously the EASIEST thing EVER!

I made one for myself a while ago and I love it.

 I wore it last night to hang out with some of our friends

and I got so many complements

that we decided

to have a cardigan making party.

The only thing I did different when I made my mom's

was to serge the edges and arm holes.

Her fabric was lighter and I was scared it would not hold

up very well without some help!

This is a FABULOUS Christmas gift idea.

No sew.

One size fits all.

One yard of fabric.

Definitely a winner in my book!

~Happy gift making!
