Soon it will finally be Mother’s Day again! I think this is a wonderful holiday for all mothers. It’s great to get gifts, but especially to give gifts! For me, it’s always a good occasion to sew something and give it away as a gift! Every mom is happy about handmade stuff! This year I have researched for you and collected the most beautiful ideas! Here are my Top 10 Mother’s Day Sewing Projects, have fun reading and sewing!

How can you choose the best gift to make for Mother’s Day?

But at first, a little help how to choose the best gift for Mother’s Day. It can be hard to choose the right gift for your mom. If you already have some ideas, how to choose the right or the best one? Here is a little guide on what to consider:

• The first thing you should think about is what your mom likes. What things are she interested in or what hobbies does she have? Does she like to garden or does she like to read books? Does she cook?
• The second thing is to think about her needs. Did she mention something she wants or needs lately? Maybe a cozy blanket or an apron for cooking?
• Take into account the materials you enjoy using to create. Do you want to use fabric, fabric scraps, or felt? There are a lot of good ideas for any kind of material.
• Also, a good idea is always to add a personal touch to the gift. Maybe you can embroider her initials on the gift or her name? In this article, you can read how to do it.
