Sewing Craft Kits: gift ideas for sewists

While there are a million and one things you can buy someone who sews, it’s hard to know what they want. Sending them to the craft store with a list can be intimidating to the non-sewer. Sewing craft kits make a great gift idea for sewists. A little package with the fabric and pattern for a project takes out all the stress and is a gift they’re sure to love.

Now, craft kits may bring to mind two pieces of cut out felt, some yarn and a plastic needle, but there are sewing kits designed for adults too. With Mother’s Day is right around the corner, here are some adorable sewing craft kits:

Great gift ideas for sewists (or is it sewer or seamstress??). Give the gift of sewing for Mother's Day, Christmas or birthday with these sewing craft kits for adults. Get the perfect present for someone who loves to DIY without worrying about getting the wrong sewing supplies. From cute to practical, these sewing kits are wonderful!
