Time-Saving Sewing Machines
Sewing machines save ample time and produce professional results, so they are a great cornerstone gift for any sewist wanting to do more than hand-sew buttons or fix small tears! Keep an eye out for brands like Semco, Janome, Singer and Elna, which have been producing sewing machines for decades and have many spare parts and accessories for your favourite sewist to use with their machine.
Make sure to figure out if your sewist would prefer a computerised/digital or manual sewing machine. Digital sewing machines have many quality-of-life improvements and ready-made patterns, and some even connect to the internet, allowing the user to download extra patterns with ease.
However, these can be tricky to use, and also hard to fix if something goes wrong.
Manual machines are great to learn on and easy to use - they'll do what is needed, with no frills and fuss. They're easy to fix too! But experienced sewists may find them limiting, and they can be very heavy compared to digital sewing machines.
Handy Sewing Kits
Perfect for gifting, Spotlight offers a great range of sewing kits suitable for a range of difficulty levels. A quilt or embroidery kit is perfect for sewists who love starting new projects, providing everything they need in one package to dive into their next creative endeavour. From someone just starting out with sewing, to advanced sewists, we offer a range of kits to assist them in their creative pursuit, including:
- The Birch Beginners Sewing Kit for someone looking to learn a fresh skill in the new year.
- The Gutermann 42-colour thread pack, perfect for an experienced sewist looking to expand their thread collection.
- Mini travel sewing kits, the perfect compact travelling companion for your sewing lover when they're on the go!
Quality Fabric Bundles
Fabric bundles, especially fat quarters, are a dream for quilters, offering a ready-to-use variety of coordinating fabrics that inspire their next patchwork masterpiece. For quilters wanting to create a more charismatic final product, complete with adorable patterns, at Spotlight you can find a great range of licensed fat quarters perfect for a Disney or Lion King fan, plus so many more.
Fabric bundles are an ideal Christmas gift idea for sewists wanting to create a cosy quilt or for those wishing to create larger patterned projects - be sure to check out our full range of fat quarter bundles and charm squares for many desirable selections available at Spotlight:
Gorgeous Ribbons And Trims For Special Projects
Help your sewist make their projects a little extra special with the right ribbon or trim. Whether it's on a sleeve, hem, collar or rim, the right trim or ribbon can turn any garment from drab to fab!
We've got an excellent variety of trims to choose from, including fancy trims in elegant colours and designs, fringe trims for a more retro look, feather trims for some extra razzle-dazzle and pom pom and tassel trims to draw eyes to a certain part of the garment.
Ribbons are also great for adding detail to sewn projects - choose from satin ribbon, organza and tulle, grosgrain and twill and jacquard ribbons to gift your sewist friend or family member.
Handy Sewing Patterns For Dressmakers
Talented sewists will love making use of any of our sewing patterns. We've got sewing patterns for men, women, children, babies and even pets - sewists will be able to make dresses, jackets, pants, shirts and almost anything their heart desires with the right sewing pattern, using their fabric of choice!
Sewists who love to sew crafts, rather than make clothes, will enjoy our craft and accessory patterns. With guides for everything from plush animals and pillows to bags and doll dresses, any crafty sewist will be hooked on using Spotlight's unique sewing patterns to make their pieces!
Quality Sewing And Quilting Tools and Accessories
The right tools will make any job or hobby much easier, and sewing and quilting are no exception. Often projects require a specific array of tools to help make any crafter's life easier. This Christmas, give the joy of sewing with practical tools and accessories that fuel creativity and support a beloved hobby!
Quilting Tools
New quilters should make sure they have all the quilting basics. When it comes to Christmas gift ideas for beginner quilters, they'll require a good set of basic quilting tools. A quality quilting mat and some cutters is a great place to start. Or, consider gifting a quilting kit, which has everything they'll need in one handy pack!
Tools to help your quilter make straight and precise cuts are also essential - tools like quilting rulers, washable pens, pins and clips will all help your quilter to make exact cuts in their fabric, which will result in a neat and impressive quilt!
Experienced quilters will appreciate extra quilting glues and tapes (used for holding layers together while you work) and useful quilting accessories like basting spray, seam rollers and rippers, paper templates, thimbles and gloves.
Sewing Tools And Accessories
Practical presents can often be the most meaningful of Christmas gifts. Sewing tools and accessories are not only essentials for the crafters in your life, but also show your support of your loved one's hobby.
Tools such as rotary cutters and dressmaking scissors are necessities in any sewist's toolkit and allow for precise cutting and clean fabric trimming. In addition to these tools, accessories such as thread organisers and sewing storage stands, baskets and bags not only make sewing projects more efficient but also help keep everything neat and accessible. Give the gift of practicality this holiday season!
