The Ultimate Gift Guide for Sewists

With years of experience in the sewing industry, I’ve used many different tools & products. The things I’ve included in this list are some of my very favorite, must-have sewing room items. A gift purchased from this list is sure to be a hit!

Cricut Maker

I was skeptical about the Cricut Maker. As a sewist, I didn’t think I would use it for the majority of my projects. However, after several years, I can’t imagine my sewing studio without this tool. Save your favorite sewist time & frustration by gifting them this versatile tool!

Learn more about the Cricut Maker here. (PS. At the time this post was published, they are even running a sale!)

OttLite Sewing Lamp

If your sewing room is like mine, it’s far from ideal. Maybe one day I will have my dream sewing studio. Until then, it’s important to make my space as functional as possible! My OttLite Sewing Lamp enables me to be creative at any time of the day.

You can find more details on my OttLite Sewing Lamp here.

Adjustable Sewing Table

I find that when I have a functional space, I am able to be much more productive during my sewing time. This adjustable sewing table was a great investment! Finding a table that can adjust to your height is incredibly important, especially when you will be sewing for hours on end.

Tilly and the Buttons: Sewing with Stretch Knit Fabric

This book by Tilly Walnes is one of my favorites lately. In addition to the brilliant pieces she creates, the photography in the book is just stunning. Every sewist will be inspired while flipping through these pages.

Cricut EasyPress

Although I have several irons in my sewing studio, I think the Cricut EasyPress may be my favorite. My favorite feature of this handy tool is the fact that it’s incredibly versatile! I’ve used my EasyPress for easy projects that just need a quick press. But I’ve also been able to use it to create fun t-shirts & other gifts.

Tailors Point Press Clapper

One of my favorite tools that I have in my sewing studio is this Tailors Point Press Clapper. The beautiful assembly of this tool makes it so easy to use. If you work on pieces that require you to press collar points, this tool is a must-have!

Gertie Sews Jiffy Dresses

It’s no secret that I love vintage style. There’s just something so special about sewing timeless pieces. Not to mention, they tend to be incredibly flattering. This book by Gretchen Hirsch is another one of my favorite sewing room resources.

Medium Tailors Clapper

It’s easy to sew professionally when you have the right tools! The solid oak with rounded edges makes this clapper easy to use.

Glass Head Pins

They may not seem that exciting, but I know I am always running out of pins. Every sewist will appreciate simple gifts like pins, needles, & other small things that seem to go missing.

Here are some of my favorite glass head pins.

Vintage Lingerie Patterns

If you’ve been around Chambray Blues for long enough, you know that my sewing roots are in lingerie. I was so excited to discover this book that shares so many practical & interesting historical techniques & patterns! This book makes a unique gift for any sewist who is in love with vintage sewing like I am.
