After spending hours trawling the internet for beautiful gifts that any sewist would be thrilled to receive on Christmas day, I've created this gift guide with options for all budgets , so you're sure to find something for that crafty gal or guy in your life!
UNDER £5
1. This beautiful Singer sewing machine necklace, by Etsy shop MADEinEastington. At just over £4, this is a budget-friendly present that also supports a small business!
2. These sewing themed earrings are such a bargain for £5! They are from the Etsy shop tenandsixcraft. There are many different charms to choose from, and you can also add coloured beads!
3. How about a couple of fat quarters from Higgs & Higgs? They have a large range of such beautiful fabrics, you're sure to find something to suit your loved one (and maybe yourself whilst you're there!) The collection pictured below is the Cherokee Village collection. The average price of 1 FQ is £2.50.
4. Another great gift idea is a few little sewing bits and bobs that might seem boring, but are so useful to have! This includes pins, a measuring tape, a pin cushion, needles, thread, and anything else you can think of! A fun present would be a spool of thread (I recommend Gutermann) in the recipients favourite colour, even if you don't think it will get the most use, it is thoughtful and I'm sure they will love it.
£10 - £30
1. This needle felting kit is perfect for novices and experienced needle felters alike. It is from the shop Hawthorne Handmade, over on Not On The Highstreet. It is £17.45, and includes everything you need to make this adorable owl!
2. These personalised labels are the finishing touch that any homemade creation needs! These ones are from the shop Able Labels, and you can currently get 80 for only £12!
3. For the more classic sewists in your life, this French sewing box would make a beautiful gift. It is currently on offer for £14.70, from the shop Dibor. You can also add a personalised gold plaque for only a few pounds extra.
4. This ring is such fun! Why wear your heart on your sleeve, when you can wear it on your finger as a ring?! It is adjustable so will fit any size finger. It is from the shop Charlie Boots, for £24.
5. I'm not being dramatic when I say this: I NEED these scissors! They are absolutely gorgeous, so on trend, and you can never have enough pairs of scissors! They are available from Remnant Kings for £17.99.
£50+
1. This is more of a splurge gift - a Gutermann thread note book gift set! It contains 42 of the best selling colours, in a space-saving storage container. This is perfect for someone new to sewing, and has every colour they may need! It is available from Minerva Crafts for £90.99
2. A gift guide for someone who lives and breathes sewing wouldn't be complete without some luxurious fabric! Melissa over at The Crafty Mastermind stocks a beautiful range of fabrics, so if your budget allows why not order some!? (And if you have no clue what to choose, there's always the option of gift vouchers!) This fabric is Paradise Garden at Midnight, from the Menagerie collection by Rifle Paper Co. It retails at £3.75 per 1/4m.'
