Cute Pincushions

Every seamstress needs a pincushion — or two, or three. An adorable little pincushion if a fun stocking stuffer idea for any sewer. You can find pincushions in the shape of almost anything you can think of, so pick one that will mean something to the passionate sewer in your life.

One favorite is this beehive pincushion or check out other designs on Etsy such as cute sewing machine shaped pincushions with different brand names on them such as Bernina, Janome and Brother.

Sewing Pins

One holiday stocking stuffer idea that is sure to be a hit are sewing pins. Almost every sewing project requires the use of sewing pins — so more pins are always welcome! Plus, a pack of pins is the perfect size to fit in a stocking. To make the gift just a little more exciting, try to find pins in fun colors and designs — something your sewer may not be able to justify buying for themselves.

This pack of sewing pins includes several adorable designs: butterflies, birds, buttons and bow ties. Or check out these Cloverbrand flower head pins; your sewer will smile every time they pull them out!

Dressmaking Shears

Looking for a holiday stocking stuffer idea that’s a little more expensive, but will be received with excitement? Kai brand dressmaking shears are top-notch sewing scissors made from heavy-duty stainless steel. Many sewers swear by the durability and super sharp edge on Kai scissors.

Charming Thread Snips

Staying on the topic of sewing scissors, thread snips are another great stocking stuffer! They are super useful, and you can get them in beautiful, delicate designs. Antique-style stork embroidery scissors are a real classic when it comes to tiny thread snips. PremierStitching.com carries an extensive selection of thread snips that are high quality and just gorgeous.

Tailor’s Chalk

An inexpensive sewing gift that would fit perfectly in a stocking, tailor’s chalk is a super useful gift idea for the sewer in your life. You can get the classic triangle-shaped tailor’s chalk in various colors at Wawak. Or if you want something a little more unique, get your seamstress a chalk wheel kit. The chalk wheel uses powder instead of hard chalk, and it has the major benefit of not getting chalk all over the user’s hands!

Personalized Clothing Labels

If the sewer in your life enjoys making clothing, a couple of packs of quirky clothing labels would be a fun stocking stuffer idea. Kylie and the Machine offers a huge selection of clothing labels with different designs and sayings on them. You’re sure to find at least a couple of options that fit your sewer’s personality perfectly! You could also order personalized labels with your seamstress’s name on them — this would be an especially nice gift if they like to sell or give away their handmade items.

Bias Tape Maker

While making bias tape can be done without a bias tape maker, it can be a real pain. A bias tape maker is a great compact gift that would get a lot of use in your sewer’s craft room. Clover is a top supplier of sewing supplies, and bias tape makers are no exception. This pack of Clover bias tape makers includes five different sizes; your sewer will be set for life when it comes to making bias tape!

Fun Pattern Weights

Another cute stocking stuffer idea that is great for beginner and advanced sewers alike is a set of fun pattern weights. Many seamstresses use inexpensive alternatives to “real” pattern weights. For example, they buy washers from the hardware store or just use random items from around the sewing room to weigh down their patterns. So gifting them an adorable set of dedicated pattern weights is sure to get them excited to cut out their next project! This set of marbletile pattern weights has upscale, minimal designs that look sophisticated. Maybe your seamstress likes more offbeat designs? These donut-shaped pattern are cute and fun stocking stuffers!

Adorable Sewing Décor

Not sure your sewer needs any sewing tools or supplies? Then consider getting them something they can use to liven up their sewing room décor! These sewing magnets are small enough to be great stocking stuffers and would be a super cute addition to any sewing room. Maybe they need to drink their coffee in style while they sew? This personalized sewing machine mug would get lots of use!

Sewing-Related Jewelry

Jewelry is a great stocking stuffer for a sewer who wants to rep their sewing passion every day! Plus, it’ll be a great conversation starter for your sewing friend when they wear their sewing jewelry out.

This sewing charm bracelet or this cute pair of sewing earrings might be the perfect stocking stuffer for your quirky sewer!
