Quick Handmade Holiday Gifts to Sew

 Here are 5 free project tutorials that you can stitch together quickly for last minute gifts!

Make a quickly quilted scissor holder with a scrap of batting and two 8" x 11" pieces of fabric. It's by far my most popular DIY with hundreds of makers checking it out each day and does make a fantastic gift for anyone who sews.

Perfect for holding one large pair of shears and a smaller pair of thread snips, plus a few other must-have tools.

Aprons never really go out of style, and a half-apron is still a useful kitchen tool. Learn how to make a simple half-apron using exactly one yard of fabric with a no-waste pattern in this One Yard "Use-it-all" Tutorial.

Customize the apron to reflect the giftee's style! Keep it simple with a large print or solid colored fabric, or go nuts by adding ricrac, lace, or other extras.

These Snack Wrapper Wallets are a project I did years ago, and they began trending again this year.

They are fun, incredibly easy, and have two inner pockets that are the perfect size to hold cash or gift cards - plus it's a great way to recycle - so what's not to love about this one?

These fabric baskets were a hit the minute I posted the DIY! The Pint-Sized Fabric Baskets are a nice size for holding almost anything; sewing supplies, yarn, markers, paint tubes, small toys, little books, etc.

Want to make a fun basket filler? Try these little DIY Scrap Fabric Strawberries.

Turn these scrappy strawberries into pattern weights, pincushions, or sweet sachets!
