Fathers are special, and one way to show how much you care is with a handmade gift! Hand crafted projects are a wonderful way to customize a gift, and they also help show how much you care. Men can be hard to craft for, so we want to help. These fabulous gifts to sew for dad are sure to be a hit!
Sentimental Gifts
Preserve a favorite memory by turning a t-shirt into a pillow! Dad might not wear that old band or sports team shirt anymore, but he can still enjoy the image or logo on a cushiony pillow that he can relax with. Choose the perfect pillow size and start sewing!
Turn old neckties into a tuffet that’s perfect for his man cave! This one is super simple to create using Fairfield’s Round Tuffet kit. Use his old ties or his father’s old ties to create a gift that’s both functional and packed with memories.
While dad often doesn’t have an opinion about bedding and decor, he will love a blanket sized quilt to lounge with as he watches TV or tries to stay warm at a sporting event! Bold geometric patterns make a visual impact, or choose a design that represents something meaningful for the guy in your life.
Practical Gifts to Sew for Dad
No more lost remotes! Dad will love this organizer that hangs off the arm of his favorite chair. Sewing Rabbit shares an easy to follow tutorial that guides you through each step of this DIY project.
Avoid work room lunch bag mix ups and give dad his own insulated lunch box to carry his meal in. Choose a fabric that shows his favorite team or movie, and sew a bag that reflects who he is. Solarize is a very lightweight, easy to sew interfacing that will help keep hot foods hot and cold foods cold.
Whether he has a season pass for his favorite team or is cheering on his kids from the bleachers, give dad’s back a break with a cushiony, custom made stadium cushion. NuFoam is perfect for outdoor cushioned projects like this one, and you won’t have to worry if he gets caught in the rain at the game!
