Fantastic jewelry for sewists
I bought this necklace a few months ago and it's become one of my favorites! A suggestion: ask the maker to attach the chain with the scissors to the top of the sewing machine. This is what she did for me to help keep the sewing machine straight instead of letting it get pulled sideways.
These earrings are made by the same seller with the same pieces as the previous necklace. I think I'll be asking Santa for these this year to match my sewing necklace!
This is a watch and a necklace together in a fantastically vintage style! The pendant is shaped like an old-fashioned sewing machine with an embedded clock, hanging from a chain to be used either as a necklace or a pocket watch!
These are tiny, but absolutely adorable, stud earrings that show off your love for sewing, but also cutting into new fabric! Choose from different metal finishes.
These unique earrings are handmade in ceramic and silver to mimic the look of glass-headed sewing straight pins curved into the shape of hooked earrings! So simple, yet so elegant!
This beautiful enamel pin of a sewing machine would be a perfect addition to your favorite sewing friend's winter coat or bag!
There should be a seamstress tarot card, right? What a funny and pretty pin to show your love for sewing! Definitely a conversation starter!
Clothing and Accessories
A funny and clever T-shirt design that is bound to get a laugh out of your sewing friends! Available in a range of colors.
Fun novelty socks are all the rage and these sewing-themed ones are perfect for crafty friends! Choose two designs out of the three shown (fabric shears, spools of thread or skeins of yarn) and have fun showing of your creator pride!
For those of us who are sick of getting asked to hem other people's pants or do their mending! This should do the trick!
Specialty sewing tools
Choose your favorite design and add your name to be cut into this beautiful wooden box with a magnetic closure. Included are a pair of embroidery scissors in either the stork or European style. A gorgeous and very useful gift, especially for friends who take their sewing work on the go!
Know someone who always loses her embroidery or hand sewing needle? This sweet snoozing cat will keep it safe for you!
We all know how important the seam ripper is, but the stiletto is also a fabulous tool when doing applique and quilting! But this lovely piece can be personalized with your name and is available in different covers and an elegant look.
Your sewing friends know that it's wasteful (and expensive) to throw out a sewing machine needle after every little project. This needle sorter does double duty: a pin cushion and a useful sorter to remember what type your partially-used needle is!
Sewer's drinkware
Every sewist knows this is true! Personalize the back of the mug with name and message and you can even choose to get a matching coaster!
Keep your drink cold or hot with this insulated tumbler covered in useful tables and diagrams of sewing machine information! Get your name printed on it for a special gift or choose a mug or other sizes of tumblers.
Hard to believe that what looks like a sculpted mug is actually a two-dimensional print on a standard mug! Very cool effect
Believe in yourself and your love for sewing! A great way to start the day!
Wall art for sewing rooms
Any sewist knows this to be true! Personalize the sewing machine with your favorite sewer's name and choose the style of frame, or just the print.
These embroidery and yarn advertisements aren't prints, but true vintage pages from an old crochet book! They are one of a kind, so once they're gone, there won't be any more. They come already framed, so they're a perfect gift all ready to go!
For the sewist who loves reading, this is a perfect gift! The print is directly on a page from an antique Encyclopedia Britannica. Perfect as sewing room decor!
Choose between four designs and add your name to this cute sign that will remind all guests to your sewing room how to respect their host!
If you're looking for a less expensive gift that you can give to ALL of your sewing buddies, this is a great option! Chelsea offers these files for FREE, so you can download them and print a different color for each of your friends!
Just like your elementary school classroom had educational posters, so should your sewing area! These five posters are downloadable for free! If you want the high resolution files, just sign up for the free newsletter on the page. Print, frame and hang!
Sewing stickers
Any lover of sewing and cats knows that our feline friends just love taking a nap on our fabric stash! These are such sweet stickers and waterproof, too!
These vinyl sewing machine stickers are waterproof and durable, so they're perfect for water bottles, cars and many other surfaces!
Other fun sewing goodies
Who doesn't need another USB pen drive? So why not get a cute one shaped like a sewing machine?! The brown hand wheel to the right pulls out with the USB stick embedded in it! Choose your favorite color and GB capacity.
This ornament looks 3-dimensional, but it's actually a flat acrylic ornament. Add your name to the front for a fun way to celebrate Christmas!
Oh my gosh, I wish that ALL of the people on my holiday list were sewers so that I could get all of these cool gifts! I just might get one of two of these to put in my own stocking this year!
