Sewing pattern: Scented mug mats

November 12, 2019 by Anne Weaver

These scented mug mats would make great handmade Christmas gifts for friends, neighbors, and coworkers! Spices or potpourri tucked between the layers of the mug mat will make a nice scent when you place a warm mug on it. Patti from Hearth & Vine shows how you can make them. You can sew them up quickly using charm squares. (Or, raid your scrap stash and cut a bunch of 5″ squares to use!)

Freebie: Printable Christmas Eve magic pillowcase poem

With all the excitement and expectation of Santa’s visit, it can be hard for kids to go to sleep on Christmas Eve. Melissa from Polka Dot Chair created special pillowcases for her nephews, to be used only on Christmas Eve. When she gave them to them, she included a little poem explaining that they’re magic pillowcases to help them have sweet dreams. She’s sharing a free printable of the poem on her blog, plus she links to a tutorial she’s written for making a pillowcase, so you can start the tradition with your own kids.
