Gifts Ideas to Sew for Men



At a loss for gift ideas for the men in your life? Here are some ideas many of which can be sewn in just an afternoon. Be sure to check our class schedule for ideas or free sewing days to bring in your project to sew and enjoy. What a relaxing way to enjoy your holiday season and make personal gifts at the same time!

***How about a bottle of something yummy wrapped in a personalized bottle bag?

***We have in the hoop change pouch patterns. Make a manly money bag in a favorite team fabric or take advantage of our wildlife/sportsman's design packages to embroider a fish, bird, or golf motif.

***And speaking of golf don't those clubs need some quick covers?

***Here's an idea straight from the Coats and Clark site; a cornhole game. Sew the pouches and find help with the board that can be covered with team fabric of choice.

***And when you're considering a gift for a man think barbecue. And barbecues are messy--- they require things like chef's aprons, towels, and recipe books for those special sauces.

***Finally, I don't know any men who don't like gadgets, and gadgets need bags. And bags need tags. And tags need personalizations that only your sewing machine can provide








So let's get busy. We've got plenty of time. And, I don't know about you, but I'd rather be sewing than fighting the crowds in some superstore!

Classes add a Bit of Design Embellishment and Inspiration

Project design packages sometimes don't do justice to the actual project that you can create with them. One thing great about taking a class is that you get so many great ideas to make projects really pop from our managers and sewing instructors. For example look how this tree just pops with  sparkle just by adding a couple of adjustments in color and decoration. Simply beautiful and much more inspiring than the package don't you think?
Another great design is the Tree-mendous 3D Christmas Tree Design. Here's the package:


And here's the in store inspiration:




 Another plus that you get from taking a class is that it's just plain fun getting together, creating, bouncing ideas around and sharing inspiration. In this way quilts that are from the same design end up looking completely different, all the creator's project; wonderful results from the same design. Take a look at these two Christmas Town quilts:


These are so different and so inspiring! The first in blue and white---like a mid winter night---so fun just like Christmas Eve. The second one in red and gold with a black frame--such an original color choice for this elegant artistic treatment.

So whether it's beginning sewing your looking for or just to hone your expert skills and experience, you'll have fun, pick up tips, and become more creative---call the sewing center today and sign up for one of our fun holiday classes.

Sewing Tip

Ever wonder if there was a limit to the size of the USB stick you could use with your Designer Ruby or Designer Diamond?

It turns out that 2G or smaller is optimal. So 2G is the limit that you should expect to use with your Husqvarna Viking Machines.
