Every time I receive these kinds of unique gifts, I feel so blessed! As someone who sews, here are some great gifts for crafters and sewists all for under $30!

I am a crafter and a sewist, and one my favorite gifts to receive is a craft kit. I love to try something new without investing in all the supplies. Even though there are tons of options, I’ve narrowed it down to ten unique crafty items, and I’m sure you can find a unique gift for your crafty SIL or your sewing friend. Enjoy!
1. Indigo Textile Dye Kit
Indigo dyed fabric is super trendy right now. It’s a beautiful and organic looking fabric. I love all the different patterns you can create. With this kit you can dye your own fabric and experiment with some beautiful indigo dye. I would love to try to indigo dye fabric!
2. Sewing Wrapping Paper*

But how fun is this sewing inspired wrapping paper!? Wouldn’t you love to receive a handmade gift in sewing wrapping paper? It would add such a nice touch to something you make with your own hands.
3. Crochet Dishcloth Kit*

I love this kit because you can make your own dishcloth. I love to use crocheted dishcloths, and I would love the no pressure of making just one!
4. Dandelion Embroidery Kit* – Great for Beginners
I think the hardest part for me to get started on a project is the preparation. Especially when it’s something I don’t often work on. That’s why these embroidery kits are so fun; you get to try a new craft without fully committing to purchasing all the stuff. The dandelions are pretty and simple, and this is a kit perfect for beginners!
5. Kitty Needle Felting Kit*
I’ve felted wool with my hands before and it is just so satisfying. There’s something really amazing about washing wool with your hands and seeing it take shape as felt. And if you could create something adorable as these felt kitties it would be really satisfying to do needle felting. Once you learn the process you can needle felt any cookie cutter shape that you have!
6. Hydrangea Silver Dipped Lace Necklace –
Lace is so pretty and classic. These necklaces are created by dipping the lace in various layers meaning there is real lace inside that is preserved forever! I would love to wear this silver lace necklace and be reminded of all the pretty lace I’ve worked with.

I love to sew and this sewing library organizer is adorable. I love that they look like books but they hold lots of different sewing notions. It would look so cute on a shelf above a sewing machine!
