DIY Sewing Projects That Make Great Gifts This Holiday Season

With the holidays just around the corner, it’s time to start making your list (and checking it twice)!

By now you’re no-doubt familiar with our popular Sew Together Tuesday series with our National Educator Teresa Coates, but this week, we’re doing something a bit different.

Instead of Teresa highlighting a specific sewing project, Teresa shares several of her favorite sewing projects that make great gifts. She’s included ideas for novice and expert sewists alike, and some that take a few minutes and others that take several hours to complete.

Below we’ve highlighted a few of Teresa’s top picks and included her recommended fabrics, and be sure scroll to the bottom to download her entire list of ideas to make yourself and give as gifts (available to download on Nov. 10).

We’re excited to participate in this year's Holiday Pillow Party 2020 with our friends at Fairfield World. Not only are they are doing a super fun blog hop and contest with 16 creative brands and bloggers, but you can enter for a chance to win a prize of six 18” pillow forms! Click here to enter!
