The matches for our Secret Santa Can Suck It<\/a> exchange have been made and sent to their assignees. After everyone posts about their “gift,” I\u2019ll list all of the entries to peruse. To kick things off, here\u2019s mine.<\/p>\n

My recipient is Pixel Pixie<\/a>, and I was delighted when I drew her name out of the hat because I know just what to get her. She likes to sew, so she gets a deluxe sewing room makeover!<\/p>\n

She’s going to need some storage space, and some nice big work tables.<\/p>\n

\"Storage\"<\/p>\n

Lots of drawers, and flooring that’s easy to keep tidy and pretty to boot.<\/p>\n

\"Flooring\"<\/p>\n

Her equipment will be upgraded as well, with professional-quality sewing machine, serger, and embroidery machine.<\/p>\n

\"Sewing<\/p>\n

When they’re not in use, the equipment can stay out of the way in custom Victorian-style cases like this one:<\/p>\n

\"Sewing<\/p>\n

All of her supplies get a makeover as well, with some laser-guided(!) precision shears, plus interesting goth touches like “wicked” embroidery scissors:<\/p>\n

\"Scissors\"<\/p>\n

Speaking of goth, she needs a couple of vintage iron dress forms:<\/p>\n

\"Dress<\/p>\n

And a closet full of bat-shaped clothes hangers:<\/p>\n

\"Bat<\/p>\n

Finally, just to help her settle in with her new gear, we’ll arrange for a couture apprenticeship in Paris:<\/p>\n

\"Paris\"<\/p>\n

So happy holidays, Pixel Pixie! I hope my “gift” meets with your approval!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
