I always love following along with this series!
Always a great reference to look back on throughout the year!
That bag organizer looks fantastic!
Another great giveaway, love to organize (hate to clean). Can’t wait to try one of the tutorials.
I love all the different bags you have i cant wait to make them all.
How funny; I was actually planning on making a woven felt basket today! I wasn’t looking forward to working it out though….
Love the touch of gold on the chevron bag. I’m not an organizer, but I’m trying.
There are a couple of these I’m really interested in. The wallet organizer and the car orgainiaer.
Can never get enough of ideas for organizers!
We all could use a little organizing, eh? Love the tutorials!

Nice choices! I love handmade holidays!
Ooo I think I might try those chai pumpkin thumbprints today!
Great ideas! The bag organizer or the purse are just perfect! Thank you!
So many great ideas! I have quite a few items on my Christmas “to make” list and it’s only the 4th day!
I’m loving these gift idea lists
Once again another day of fabulous ideas. Thank you!
The reinvention book looks like something I must get my hands on!
I love the printable advent calendar that you have found. Also the peg bag, although I am not sure it would hold all my pegs but it might work for the camper when we are camping.
Once again you have great projects lined up for today. The organizing bags are very helpful. I’m excited about both of those books too!
I love the printable Advent Calendar! I’m always on the look out for neat Advent calendars.
Love Maya’s book
Ok, today I think my favorite might just be the pumpkin chai spice thumbprint cookies, YUM!!!!
I love the zippy bags. I plan on making several for Christmas!
Thanks for sharing.
Love the art-inspired chevron tote and the organizer wallet has my name on it!!! : )
I love to stay organized. I may make a gift for myself.
I must be an organizer, because I love today’s projects!
My family is full of organizers! But I’m going to start off by making that bag organizer for myself, because I desperately need it to keep things corralled.
Those cookies look awesome!
Lots a great ideas. That woven felt basket is a new-to-me concept.

As an organizer who still hasn’t found the perfect system yet (does anyone?) I love all of these ideas. I think many will go on my “projects to make” list. Thanks for the opportunity to win!
Lots of great stuff today! I especially am in love with the printable Advent calendar.
Forget gifts! I’m gonna make that coupon organizer for MYSELF! lol
Lots of great ideas here, thank you!

Oh my such great ideas again. The organizer wallet has been on my “to do” list for some time. The Chai pumpkin thumbprint cookies look yummy.
Just finished my first self-designed quilt top and am now looking for quilting expertise – In The Studio looks to be a great reference!
I like the off kilter zippy bags and chevron tote — a fun way to look at fabric piecing.
I’m making a lot of organizers and pouches for the holidays this year.
The reinvention book looks great — I happen to have a burlap bag sitting in my craft room waiting to become something!
I really need to make one of these car organizers.. for me and for my husband!
Organizing.
Yes.
I’d love the Angela Walters book!!! I have one of her books and it’s amazing!!
This post provided so many gift ideas for my handmade holidays! The coupon organizer, felt basket, zippy pouches and his and her pillows are all things I want to make for gifts. The thumbprints will defiantly be at my holiday cookie party. The chevron bag is something I would like to make for myself. It’s funny that this post gave me so many ideas because I am the least organized person ever, but I guess I do know a lot of organized people. Thanks sew mama sew for all the ideas and inspiration!
I just love, love, felt. That basket is cool. And ohhhhhh that chevron bag.

I think Angela Walters is so very talented. I’m glad she is writing some books to share some of her know how and tips with us. Thanks for the giveaway.
Really love the woven baskets. They would be fun for many different items.
Can’t decide whether to make the bag organizer or the wallet organizer. Guess I’ll have to make both!

I think that the car organizer is a great idea – I travel in my car so much and need all the organization help I can get. I love the idea of using a fun fabric!
Even a disorganized gal like me can love the woven felt basket.
What great ideas!! The peg bag is top on my to do list now.
It’s hard to decide which project I like best!

Pick Me! I’d love to have that machine quilting book to help me liven up my holiday gift projects.
The bag organizer is such a great idea!
Love the car organizer!
I absolutely love the make-up brush roll! Currently, all of my making brushes are thrown into my giant make-up bag with all of my make-up and other supplies, making it difficult to find anything when I only have 10 minutes to get ready. This will really help get me organized! Thanks again for all of the wonderful gift ideas!
I need a new coupon organizer.
I love all the projects in this post! I know my girls would enjoy those toothbrush cases and I need a purse organizer. My whole family could use the car organizers!

I’m always trying to get more organized. Great ideas!
I love the felt baskets! They are perfect for little gifts and would make a great gift basket base too! Thanks for the wonderful ideas!
The colors in the chevron tote are great, super cute. I definitely need to make one of the car organizers for our next road trip.

At the moment, I’m loving (laughing at?) the idea of my getting organized enough to make any of these gifts this year.
Ah, well, a girl can dream.
Those His and Hers Pillows are adorable!
