My Christmas Gift Guide for Sewists

I cannot believe we are here, but I *think* it’s officially the countdown to Christmas! So I’ve put together a little list of my favourite items for gifting to any sewist out there. A few of the items I already own, and they have been such lovely gifts to receive in the past that I really wanted to share with you all. And maybe these ideas will help with any Christmas lists you’re writing to Santa…? Enjoy guys!

1. ‘Maker’ Necklace, Closet Case Patterns

Can we all just take a second to swoon over this STUNNING piece of jewellery up for grabs from Closet Case Patterns? I am putting this on the list for myself – I love the silver version so much it hurts!

2. Dress With Pockets Print, Oh Squirrel

I think the sentiment of this print would make the perfect addition to any sewing space. Amirite?!

3. Hardwood Point Presser & Clapper, Sew Essential

I've had my eye on this beautifully crafted clapper for so long. It would be such a useful tool for any dressmaker! And it also wins points for being handmade by a local craftsman in the UK.

4. Seamstress Patch, Pink Coat Club

I don't think it's even possible to put together a sewist Christmas gift guide without mentioning Pink Coat Club. Literally everything in Joy's shop is gorgeous, so I struggled to choose just one item to add to my list!

5. Breaking The Pattern Book, Named

This book has been all over Instagram lately, as it has just been released. Perfect timing for adding to the Christmas list... I know it's on mine!

6. 'Sewing is my Superpower' Pouch, Em Makes & Bakes

Em Makes and Bakes has some gorgeous products in her Etsy shop. Please go check her out - I have so much love for her Mama products too. This pouch would be perfect for any sewist needing a little tidy up of all those little bits and bobs we have strewn across our sewing spaces!

7. PatternTrace (Swedish Tracing Paper), Creative Industry

I think PatternTrace paper is probably my favourite sewing product in the world ever. I always recommend this stuff! It comes on a huge wide roll AND you can sew straight it. Magic! Perfect for making a quick toile, or just using as really posh tracing paper!

8. Magnetic Beech Wood Notions Block, Beyond Measure

I was given one of these last year, and it has been one of my favourite sewing room products. It has a super strong magnet inside (I still can't see/work out how they got it in there!), and you can either use it as a pot - or what I do is turn it upside down as more of a block. It looks so cool - and is insanely useful and practical. Plus - someone made this!

9. 'I'd Rather Be Sewing' Tote Bag, The Crafty Pinup

Absolutely love this illustration on Crafty Pinup, Abi's, gorgeous tote bags. She also has pins of the same image in her shop too. Plus she's an all-round sewing mega babe!

10. Pegboard, Block Design

The question I get asked most is 'where did you get your pegboard?'. So I felt like it would be a good idea to share this in my gift guide... and because I'm such a big fan of this company in general. Block Design sell different sizes and colours of their pegboards. They also have various accessories like a mini shelf and letters you can peg in! I got a little bit crafty with some of the organisation on my sewing room pegboard - I figured you can use 2 pegs close to each other as a tiny little shelf 🙂
