It seems to me that while growing up if anyone received a handmade gift it was always a pot holder. I’m not sure why, maybe because they are simple? Anyway, in case you are in need of some ideas for gifts to sew for family and friends, I present to you: Gifts to Sew for Christmas………….besides potholders! Here’s my list of easy and (mostly) free patterns.
And, by all means, if you know a person who will love a pot holder then sew away!
- Robe– Free patterns for sizes 18m-8. This a great project for beginners- my daughter’s robe was one of the first PDF patterns I ever made!
- Blankets- Quick and easy to sew
- Hooded blanket: three sizes for toddlers to adults!
- Mermaid tail blanket
- Shark tail blanket
- 18″ Doll Clothes- a quick Google search for this will give you TONS of free patterns. I know Made for Mermaids and Pixie Faire have quite a few free doll patterns.
