I Tried Sewing GIFTS With Things That Aren’t Fabric!

Welcome to See Kate Sew! If you’re new here, sign up for my email newsletter for access to free patterns, tutorials and all the latest sewing news! Tour my sewing room HERE!

With the holidays coming up I wanted to make some special gifts using unexpected things! Sewing gifts is my favorite part of the holidays and these ideas will get you started! A target pouch from a target bag for a target lover! A coin pouch using a Bubs wrappers for a candy lover! And a few more surprises!

Sewing gifts with these crazy materials is so fun and lets you make gifts that are extra personal and totally unique! These are gifts that people will remember for a long time!

1. Turn a reusable Target bag into a clutch

The first project is great for a Target lover! Grab a reusable shopping bag for 99 cents and we’re turning it into a cosmetic case! This is easy and we’re even reusing the handle! Get the pattern and details in this post.

2. Shakeable Snow Globe Ornaments – Sewing Gifts

Make a shakeable snow globe ornament! These are great gift toppers and so fun to shake. Get the tutorial and all the materials.

3. Candy Wrapper Pouches

This is my favorite! Turn your favorite candy bag into a useable and durable zipper pouch! You’ll need a specific material to make these bags durable, but it’s easy to use and fun to sew! I’ll show you how in this post!

I couldn’t stop making these! They are so colorful and unexpected! Plus, they make great stocking stuffers.

4. Crinkle Cat Toy with a Chip Bag

Make a toy your cat with love with a crinkly inside! The inside has a piece of chip bag which makes it a sensory toy! Get the tutorial and printable pattern here!
