20+ Free Sewing Projects for Men’s Gifts

sewing projects for men's gifts

Looking for sewing projects for men’s gifts? Dust off your machine because I have a list of fun ideas, all approved by my husband!

I will admit, I hate making lists for men/boys/girls/women because I don’t think every woman wants scarves, purses, and headbands any more than every man wants a grill-master aprons, leather beer coozies, and neck ties. I think picking fabric, colors, embellishments that represent the recipient’s interests can make lots of gifts great for anyone. But I also know that sometimes your brain just needs some choices, and that most of the men in my life would be happy to receive all of these. Let me know if I missed any of your favorite free sewing projects for men’s gifts and I’m happy to add it!

Hi: you might want to make sure your links are up to date. I thought I'd try the tool bucket cover. It linked to a blank page.

Hi Abby! Thanks for letting me know; it looks like something is amiss on Sew4Home's site, I emailed them and hopefully they can fix it!

Thank you for sharing these ideas. I would love to share an idea. A bible journal with a pocket to keep a pen or other items. I am going to make my brother one with his favorite football team fabric and on the inside I will add in a bible verse and a bookmark.

Great patterns Stephanie, with many I have not seen before. Particularly love the hat, which made me immediately think of my brother-in-law, he will love it.
