Sewing gifts: Tutorials, tips & ideas
Is there anything more personal than a handmade gift? Sometimes I don't even know: do I enjoy sewing more, or does the recipient enjoy unwrapping the gift more?
In any case, it is a wonderful opportunity to show special people how much they mean to us, I think. Favorite fabrics*, favorite colors, and favorite patterns - there are so many ways to make a personal gift even more loving and individual.
Just let yourself be inspired! :)
Reading tip: Wash fabric before sewing
Classic: Sewing a cosmetic bag as a gift
A cosmetic bag is one of the most popular gifts ever! Sewn in your friend's favorite color, filled with a fragrant lotion or a special shower gel - perfect as a handmade gift!
Our Alsterprinzessin cosmetic bag pattern is just perfect for this: Even if it is sewn from different materials, beginners can easily handle this cosmetic bag. And to make sure nothing goes wrong, I will show you exactly how it works in my sewing video!
By the way, our Rheingold cosmetic bag is just as elegant as the Alsterprinzessin: It even comes in 4 sizes - from mini-small to pretty-big!
Extravagant: Sewing a foldover bag as a gift
You like your friend (daughter, niece, sister?) because she is funny, cool, and a little bit crazy? Why not sew her a bag that is just like her? For example, our San Diego foldover bag. It is simultaneously extravagant and beginner-friendly. And you can already imagine her beaming eyes as she unwraps the gift while you are still sewing it... :)
