For dozens and dozens of countries around the world, Mother’s Day will be celebrated in a couple of weeks. The big question is: Are your gifts ready yet?
As an adult, you don’t get to rely on the Mother’s Day stall at school like you did when you were a kid. You actually have to organise something all by yourself!
Even when it’s not from the school stall, handmade gifts are always a lovely, personal thing to receive.
How do I know? Because I am a mum too!
I’ve done some research and put together a round-up of 7 simple, yet beautiful, fabric gifts for you to sew this Mother’s Day. I’d be delighted if I received any of these gorgeous gifts!
Many of them are perfect for sewing beginners. Some are a great way to use up your leftover fabric stash. And there’s even a bonus no-sew fabric project in here too 😉.
