Hand Made Gifts for the Holidays (with tutorials)

Pluto is in Aquarius and we're officially in the era of being GENUINE & REAL. So show your loved ones you actually care about them by taking the time to sew a personalized and sustainable gift for them. The following projects are not only cute, but are mostly beginner friendly and a great way to practice your basic sewing skills. It's one of those moments when you absolutely love the internet for existing and are so grateful for the beautiful souls that share how to videos for all. We love accessibility! PRO TIP: Make all these gifts sustainable, affordable, and quirky by using thrifted fabrics (bed sheets, curtains, table clothes) or used clothing!




EVERYDAY USE



  1. Tote bag


    Help the environment and save your loved ones some $$ by avoiding that disposable bag and fees. Sew them a tote bag! Practical. Versatile. Customizable. Eco-friendly. Affordable.



EASIEST METHOD



MORE PROFESSIONAL + REVERSIBLE



  1. Zipper Pouches


    Make your friends and family a cozy pouch to hold all their precious trinkets. Makeup, stationery, toiletries, or even snacks. It's cold outside, bring them inside. They need a home.

THE METHOD


HAND SEWING OPTION!?



  1. Lanyards


    Only got 10 minutes? Make a lanyard. Have a few minutes to spare? Add broken jewelry/ solo earring as a keychain for that extra precious touch.


    THE METHOD



WAYS TO BE EXTRA



ADD SOME BLING




HOMEWARE

  1. Breezeblocker


    Save them electricity and provide them extra warmth by blocking that annoying under door breeze. PRO TIP: use whole corn grain and polyfil (or be an extra sustainable king/queen by using filling from a retired pillow)


THE METHOD



  1. Fabric Coaster


    Protect their surfaces from water rings, heat, and spills while adding a cute, cozy, and handmade vibe to their tables.


THE METHOD



  1. Sewn Wall Organizer


    Organizing is so much more fun when you make it cute. Tools seem less scary when they're nestled into a cozy fabric.


EASIEST METHOD



MORE CUSTOMIZABLE & QUILTED




CLOTHING ASSESORIES


  1. Scrunchies & Headbands


    Nothing more satisfying than making use of all those cute fabric scraps we hoard. Headbands and scrunchies, all galore!



    SCRUNCHIES



    HEADBANDS



  2. Bows


    Put a bow on it! Bowties for pets and friends, bow hair clips & ties, or a bougie bow to top your gifts.


    THE METHOD



  3. Bucket Hats

    Protection from the sun in summer and can be made with heavier fabrics to provide warmth in cooler months. Protect your friends heads all year long.
