So YES. Let’s think about Christmas now. This doesn’t mean you have to haul out the holly, just start getting ideas and materials for some handmade Christmas presents so that you can actually accomplish those projects long before the craziness sets in! This particular episode of “Handmade Christmas Presents” is the sewing edition–because sewing always takes much longer than we anticipate.

Puff Quilt! This is the perfect gift for anyone. You can make it for a baby, a toddler, a kid, a teen, or an adult. Click HERE for the pattern


This adorable scarf is a great gift for just about any girl. It’s so cute and you can pick out your own fabric. Heck, make one for yourself while you’re at it! Via Sewing in No Man’s Land

My SIL gave us an embroidered family portrait last year for Christmas and I have been searching for several weeks now for something that I can make for her this year that would be as special and heartfelt as her gift last year. Nothing is really feeling comparable. Any ideas?
You could send her a collage or photobook of special photos or a handmade quilt with personalized squares. Good luck!
Aaw love all of them! Thank you for compiling this list. Off to bookmark this so I can share it to friends. That cute fabric slippers would be a lovely gift to a friend. I’m a new fan.;)
Thanks!
It is not even July yet, and I m looking for Christmas gift ideas. Thanks for taking time and sharing this fantastic list. I think I’ll go with a sock monkey.
I’m including a link to this post in my newsletter as my “Sewing Corner” feature for this month- thanks for the great round up of crafts!
Thank you!
My daughter was looking for a neat idea for a school project. I will bookmark this and share it with her later.
I really like this idea. It’s good too because once it’s a rule of thumb, the kids won’t build up their expectations to TV advert piles and piles of gifts.
For any budding sewers out there, the £2.76 pyjamas I made this weekend could easily be made in children’s sizes.
Ooh wow you got some gorgeous items! I love the look of Handmade Christmas Gifts.!!!
Is there any possible way to get the ballerina slipper pattern?? I love these for travel, family visits, snacking, lounging, loafing…..
Hello Heidi

You’ve done a great job of putting this all together. Well done. I look forward to some me time so I can get started. Christmas is just round the corner too!
I can’t believe all of you ladies started making Christmas presents in June when I am still putting that off! It’s great that some of the ideas are so simple and won’t take too much time.
Thanks for the list!
I found this post on Pinterest. I would really like to see the sewing gifts, however I don’t seem to be able to get to them. I know I’m late to the party, but I hope you see this comment and let me know how to link to the blog post! Thanks!
