Best sewing gifts for people who sew

Easy Sewing Patterns

I’ve yet to meet a sewing person who doesn’t love receiving a sewing pattern that is easy to sew.

To that end my Rowan Tool Roll sewing pattern is the perfect sewing pattern for any crafter or artist. It can be used to store sewing supplies, crochet hooks, art materials and more.

It can be used as a desktop version, to roll away supplies at the end of the day, or as a utility belt version, worn around the waist for easy access to those most used items.

You can learn more about the Rowan Tool Roll sewing pattern here.

Sewing Mug Gifts For Sewers

I have never met anyone that didn’t need a mug for some sort of hot beverage. While many of use don’t like tea (yuck!) there are many more who don’t drink coffee. 

This selection of coffee mugs and tea cups are created especially for those who sew, and make wonderful gifts for sewers.

I Have Enough Fabric

…said no crafter ever!

I mean, how brilliant is that for a sewing mug? It’s so true to life for many crafters that I suspect every sewing person should own one! 😉

May Your Bobbin And Mug Always Be Full

I love this mug, mostly as I am always so disappointed when the bobbin and coffee run out!

That said, this is a sewing mug that could be filled with tea, coffee or hot chocolate on those chilly winter months!

My Brain Is 90% Sewing

It’s a real shame that the greater part of the brain is fabric and not patterns – ‘cos those really are my weakness!

This would still be a great sewing gift for any sewing lover though, whether someone who sews clothes or those who like sewing quilts!

Perhaps this is the sewing mug I should buy for myself and leave lying around for the other half to spot?

I Flippin’ Love Sewing

Find me a sewing person who doesn’t say ‘I flipping’ love sewing…’

And yet, sometimes we struggle to find time to sew. Thankfully, I have a few ideas on that further down this list, but I reckon by buying this mug and using it daily, we’d be able to find more time for sewing… right?

The Ultimate Power Tool…

Is this the best ‘power tool’ mug ever created? Yes, I think so!

My ‘Power Tool’ of choice is a Bernina, which looks nothing like the image used in this sewing mug, but I still wouldn’t say no to it! 

Less Bitching, More Stitching Mug

Imagine. If we made more time for stitching, there really would be less time for bitchin’, whether about life or anything else. And that can only lead to happier stitchers surely?

Which makes me really love this less bitchin’ more stitchin’ mug.
