With the holidays coming up, I’ve been on a bit of a sewing kick lately.  Here are some easy and cute gift ideas that require very little sewing ability

A Feathered Nest shows us how to make this apron.

Prudent Baby made this dress in 10 minutes using a onesie! This would be great in holiday colors!

Keep your mobile devices safe by making your own case with A Pretty Cool Life.

The Idea Room has a tutorial for this Oven Hand Mitt. Wouldn’t this be a nice gift in coordinating fabric with the apron shown above?!

One of my favorite blogsMake It and Love It shows us how to make super simple leggings!

I’ve been wanting to make some cute matching reusable bags for awhile now using the tutorial by Sew 4 Home. I love how large these are, and the rectangular bottom will help hold more groceries.

Find tons more sewing tutorials over at Made.
