I remember as a child always wanting to be able to make gifts for all my family and friends during the holiday season. I'd go through my mother's large crafting and sewing supplies and hand stitch a pillow or make a bookmark.
I didn't realize then how much I enjoyed creating handmade gifts. But now as I watch my own 5 year old daughter crafting up a storm, I love that we can create handmade gifts for all our loved ones.
Perhaps you feel the same way. We've come up with a list of 40+ easy sewing projects for gifts that you will love making.
