Gifts to sew for Boys
When my step-son was 12 I took him shopping for a cap for his Christmas present. All the caps at the surfshops were too big so we ended up at Pumpkin Patch … and then ended up NOT getting a hat. Who knew that pre-teen boys would be so touchy about shopping in a children’s wear shop! Granted this was pre-kt and I was pretty much clueless! These days I’d solve the “hats too big problem” by just making him one. In fact making hats are pretty much my “go to” solution for sewing for the men/boys in my life! I think I’d pretty much forgotten all the other boys suitable patterns we’ve included in One Thimble until I sat down to write this blog post!
This blog post is a reminder/go-to guide of One Thimble patterns for sewing for the boys in your life this Christmas.
