I found a blog called Make It and Love It that has some really great sewing ideas.
I also found another one (can PM you the link to it if you like) with a tutorial for fabric flowers on it. I've already made 8 of them and they look awesome. The tutorial just makes the flowers themselves, and I added some stems with wire in them so they can stand up. So i'm going to make a bunch with 4 each for MIL, SIL, my mum and my nanny for Christmas and bought some handmade soap to go with them.
