Gift Ideas for the Aspiring Seamstress on Your List

I have several friends and readers that either have a sewing machine that they have never used or wish they could sew! Maybe you have one of these people on your Christmas list this year. If so, here are some gift ideas you might be interested in to get them going on their journey.

Remember: If you see something you like, don't wait too long as prices are subject to change.

This Cardboard Pattern Sewing Cutting Board 36x60 is one of my most used items when I sew. I use it for quick measuring, cutting and making my own patterns when sewing. It's much quicker for measuring than using a yard stick. I love my board and use it every time I sew.

Gingher Knife Edge Dressmaker's Shears 8-inch
Every seamstress needs good quality, sharp scissors (only to be used on fabrics)! These are a great pair. I love the cutting sound these make as they cut fabric so swiftly and crisply. These would be a perfect gift for your favorite seamstress - beginner or advanced!

I love this Dark Grey Twill Sewing Basket with Luggage Print on it! SO CUTE!

Fabric covered sewing box with the look of buckled straps as closures. Resembles a train case.

One removable storage tray. Rivet detail. Magnetic snap closure.

Elastic satin pocket in lid to hold scissors, tape measure, etc.

Pin cushion in the lid holds pins/needles in place. Convenient carrying handle.

Perfect for the beginning sewer or quilter. Supplies NOT included.

Hope these ideas are helpful to you and at least spark a creative idea in your own mind for that aspiring seamstress on your list this Christmas!

What sewing items/accessories can you NOT live without?? I'd love to hear!
