Of course, there are the clothes that you might find ready-to-wear, either new or used. (Clothing is a little chancy to give as gifts - sure hope you know what colors they can’t stand or that look atrocious on them!; sizes; etc.) I’ve listed a number of clothing items that are fairly easy to make, though, (see Instructions for asterisked items) for those with the time, talent, and will...

• Baby bibs

• Sock arm bibs for toddlers - cut off the feet of new or only-worn-in-the-feet mid-calf-height socks... to be used as arm protectors for messily feeding young-uns

• Toddler pants or zip-suits made from recycled adult velour or knit shirts

• Vests

• Knitted mufflers

• Fringed scarves (you can easily do the fringing - start with a square of a fine woolen or wool-blend material... pull threads at the edges to make the fringe)

• Or possibly crocheted or knitted fringed shawls

• Mittens sewn from shrunken woolen sweaters

• Hats (redecorated extant ones, knitted, crocheted, felted, sewn from shrunken woolen sweaters, etc.)

• Specifically, a snowman hat: white, a snowman head created by tying a "scarf" around a ball of stuffing at the top; embroider his simplistic face and sew on an orange "carrot" nose, embroider 3 "coal buttons" below the scarf; trim the opening of the hat with a fun red and green band

• Aprons (guys need them too - for barbecuing, baking, in the shop, etc.

• Canvas work/gardening gloves stenciled or painted with names/designs

• Ties painted or stenciled with artistic designs
