A: I'm actually a quite last minute person, but I think I work best under pressure and I'm a speedy fast sewer! So I probably won't start sewing holiday gifts and outfits until the second or so week of December. Q: What activities are you most looking forward to this holiday season? A: Last year for Christmas my mother in law gave me ice skates, so I'm very excited to skate a lot more this season. I love dressing up in all my cozy gear with hot cocoa in my thermos to bring to the rink and Toronto has many outdoor skating rinks that are fabulous and scenic. Q: What do you recommend as a good gift for a man? Dad? Boyfriend? Etc? A: This year I'm making [ties]( for all the men in my life! It is easy to make and you can customize it to fit your man's style and personality. My guy has a quirky sensibility (I once sewed him a donut printed shirt), so I'm going to make him some crazy printed ones, and then my brother a sophisticated one with a sleeker silhouette Need more gift ideas for men?
