Looking for gift ideas to sew for men and boys?
In this blog post roundup, I’m sharing 8 practical sewing projects that make great handmade gifts for men, teen boys, dads, husbands, sons, grandsons and more!
These sewing gift ideas include useful projects for home, travel, hobbies, pets and everyday life. Whether you’re sewing for Christmas, Father’s Day, a birthday or just because, there are plenty of ideas here for those hard-to-sew-for guys on your list.
To me the secret is in the fabric: make an item in the right fabric and it will change their entire attitude towards it. Trust me – I’ve seen it happen with the men in my life!
I took an old pair of my husband’s shorts, cut them apart to see what I could whip up!
In a little over an hour I made a fabric tray that can store flat, a key fob keychain and padded sunglasses case – with fabric to spare!
I showed them to my daughter-in-law and she said, “WOW! Those are really nice! My dad would even like them and he’s not a fan of handmade things.”
All 3 of these projects and 5 more are linked to the full blog post, most of which also include videos.
