Anyone who's walked into a fabric store has seen at least one cute and clever themed quilting cotton that makes you think of a friend or family member. "So 'n' so" would LOVE that! goes off in my mind, but then what to make out of it??
We want our recipients to laugh and with luck actually use the thing we've made.

Well, I am known for making aprons ...
Here are 2 I've made as gifts. My mother LOVED Monopoly and my sister has a loved dog.
I figure, if you want whatever you are going to make with silly fabric actually used, make something worn or used at home is the best bet. I made napkins and placemats that go with that Monopoly apron.
Another good option is a pillow case ...
Measure a pillowcase you own to make a pattern or I made a patten for a pillow case in Simplicity 2200.
This pattern has a simple tote bag, as well, and that is another great option for novelty fabric.

And you can always make pajamas or boxer shorts! There are a ba-zillion patterns out there ...
AND pajamas are a great home made gift for someone just beginning to sew. Not too many people will notice if all the seams are perfectly sewn and there is nothing like sleeping in pajamas made with love.
