Finding the perfect gift can be difficult — unless you’re shopping for a sewing enthusiast! Your crafty friends and family are always in need of more supplies and tools to create their projects. Take a look at this holiday gift list to find the right present for the sewing enthusiast in your life.
From tools to materials, there are plenty of great gift ideas for people who love sewing. Here are eight of the most popular:
If you want to make sure your gift will get used, buy a pair of quality shears or scissors. Or even better — get a set!
Because shears and scissors have many purposes, there are many kinds. You can get dressmaker shears, pattern shears, pocket scissors, embroidery scissors, and many more. Pay attention to which kind of scissors your gift recipient needs.
Creating consistent curves freehand is incredibly difficult, even for an experienced illustrator or sewer. French curves provide the exact line you need when creating a pattern, but inferior quality examples will chick and crack over time (or if they’re dropped often).
Get a solid set of French curves, ideally with as many pieces as possible, and you’ll set up your giftee for success.
Perhaps you’re perusing many holiday gift lists for a sewer who wants to start creating their own patterns rather than relying on existing ones. For the imaginative sewer, you can opt for a pattern-making guide or tools for making your own patterns.
Consider items such as pattern weights or long-reach staplers. If you’re buying for someone who’s already skilled at making patterns, consider gifting supplies such as several yards of cotton interfacing or muslin fabric.
When a sewer is focused on completing a project, the last thing they want to have to do is go searching for the right bobbin. With a bobbin organizer box, every bobbin will be exactly in the right place.
Of course, there are plenty of other storage items that will make a sewer’s work a happy process. Chemical-resistant plastic boxes with integrated hangers are perfect for storing sensitive supplies. A presser foot storage box will allow a sewer to switch between a walking foot and a quilting foot without rummaging around in a random drawer.
Part of the joy of sewing is having a pleasing space in which to sew. This means surrounding the work area with tools and items that make the job easier and more visually interesting. A thread rack with room for more than 60 spools makes locating thread of a specific color easier — and it looks incredible, too!
Marking a cloth before cutting it is essential for making the right cut. That’s why tailor’s chalk is so brilliant. It comes in a variety of colors to stand out against the fabric and is easily erasable as well. There is also wax chalk, which allows the user to press and sharpen the chalk during use.
Many projects require buttons. For extra flair, give your sewer a chance to let their creativity run wild with a button maker machine. Creating a badge or a button can be a fun way to express yourself and an opportunity to display interests and messages. Your sewer can add that special finishing touch with custom buttons.
While one of the most basic items in a sewer’s toolbox, thread is also one of the most important. Virtually every sewing project needs a thread, but not all threads are the same. You can choose from an array of nylon thread, polyester thread, elastic thread, and many other types.
There are also different thread types for different purposes. For example, there is heavy-duty thread, stretchy thread, and even invisible thread!
