It’s almost Mother’s Day, and that means it’s time to map out and make a sweet gift for that special Wo[man] in our lives. Whether it be our Mom, Grandmother, Aunt, or other extraordinary individual that holds that coveted spot in our heart, here are a few quick and easy sewing gift ideas they’ll be sure to love!
1. A Pot Holder/Oven Mit
Practical, simple and sure to be used nearly every day! Read up on Craftsy.com for full instructions. Instructions show it quilted, but you can easily reduce this by omitting the quilting or doing a simple X via top-stitch.
2. A Wash Cloth
This is a good one! It's sure to take you 30 minutes or less. Pair it with a soft robe & slippers or luxurious soaps and candles to give a useful, relaxing gift. (Hint: you can use our white terry cloth found at Walmart!) Shown Here with Josephine's Florals

3. A Coin/Mini Purse
For those of us who purchased a wallet without a coin compartment (le, sigh), this is sure to be handy so we’re not digging through our purses all day. Catch the step by step on: www.handmadiya.com
4. A Pillow with A Sentimental Message (or family photo!)
This is very quick and will be treasured for years to come! Cut out two squares of fabric, adding a half inch seam allowance. On one side on the face of the fabric, add your heartfelt message using heat-transferable vinyl using your die-cut machine to design it, OR using heat transfer paper and printing it from your home printer. Sew all four sides with the fabrics right sides together using a zig-zag stitch leaving a small opening to turn it right side out. Turn right side out, stuff with your choice of stuffing and top-stitch closed. Voila!
