Scoodie Sewing Pattern: I love these and they would be wonderful to give as a gift for a child, teenager or adult. Nice to have on those cold winter days! Nice alternative to the usual knitted hats and scarves. Posted on Tipnut.com.

Snap Wallets Pattern: This is not only an easy project, it’s an economical one two. Make homemade snap wallets, they’re perfect for children, teenagers and adults! I love the idea of using different fabric for the lining, but you can use the same fabric for inside and out if you like. Why not slip a couple dollars in the wallet for the kiddos too, they’ll love that! Posted on Tipnut.com.

Sock Monkeys: Who doesn’t love sock monkeys! These are a great gift idea for children (and maybe a young at heart adult too). You can print off your own copy of this pattern to make this vintage style toy. Posted on Tipnut.com.

Süße Sac: This project makes quite a funky bag, great for young and old alike. Not a complicated pattern at all, beginner sewers should be able to manage this with no problem. Posted on Tipnut.com.

Tote Bags: Can someone ever have enough tote bags? I love these for holding various craft projects, work totes, shopping totes, you name it. A few different tote bag patterns are listed. Posted on Tipnut.com.

Toteable Towels: Any swimmers or beach lovers on your list? These are a fantastic idea for both young and old alike. Whip up some nice towels that can be quickly rolled up and toted about. Posted on Tipnut.com.

Unique Knitting Basket: This is a great gift for your favorite knitter or crocheter and it won’t cost you much to make–just use an old sweater. This makes a basket to hold the yarn, project and hooks & needles. Very simple and easy to make and it’s an idea from Martha Stewart. Posted on Tipnut.com.

Water Bottle Carrier: This is quite a sweet project for making a water bottle carrier. If someone on your list is a big sports/fitness/activity person, I’m sure they’ll love having one of these (along with anyone else who’s a big fan of bottled water). There’s a strap to hang over the shoulder and the bottle rests at the hip.

Yoga Mat Bag: Here’s a great gift idea for your favorite yoga exerciser, a yoga mat bag. A few different patterns listed, some sewn and some knitted (two of each). Posted at Tipnut.com.
