The best handmade gift I have received was the most detailed, incredible baby quilt made for my eldest daughter… We still have it — it’s in great shape, and we still admire it often… If only I had a machine that could produce quality like that… I have 6 grandchildren I would love to make things for — things they’ll treasure forever…
Natalie says
My great aunt made me homemade dolls and bunnies growing up. They were so beautiful and made with so much love and it was one of the main reasons I taught myself how to sew as a teenager.

I was so pleased that my mother let me use her portable Singer way back in the 40’s. She did it with reservations and, happily, I did not destroy it. Sewing has been a big part of my life.

I’ve gotten lots of handmade gifts, all of them special, but probably the favorite was the pillow that a friend of my mom’s made for me when I was born. It became my security lovey as a child, until I literally loved it to death many years later.

Best handmade gift? My son! Lol

I love it!

When I was little, my dad made a handmade dollhouse for my sister and I for Christmas one year. He even wallpapered the rooms, put tiny hardwood planks down for flooring, and cut tiny shingles out. It was such fun to play with, and now my daughter and my sister’s daughter enjoy it as well!
Karen Smith says
My favorite hand sewn gift was a shirt my older sister made me for Christmas. She was only 16 years old but it was so well made, I wore it for years!

I received a lovely hand beaded necklace from my mom for a birthday!

I still vividly remember the cloth dollhouses my mother made for my sister and I when we were little. We played with those things until they fell apart and now I’m looking forward to making one for my daughter.
Sara Larrabee says
The best handmade gift(s) I have ever gotten were both quilts from my maternal grandma. She made one for me when I was a baby — that, although threadbare, is my favorite. She also made one for me for my wedding.
My grandma passed away in 2006 a couple of years before I had my oldest and before I got into sewing. I wish with all my heart that I could share my love for sewing with her now. I wasn’t interested when she was alive and wanting to share it with me.
Phyllis says
Love your blog! Hand sewn scarf from my daughter is the fave.
Christine H. says
Best handmade gift – my husbands coworker, a guest at our wedding asked for a couple of the damask table runners my mother had made for my reception. A few weeks later she presented me with a purse made from the fabric! I love having that keepsake and now that I have learned how to sew, I am going to use the remaining runners to make a quilt.

My best handmade gift I ever got was a quilt from my grandmother. she made me several over the years and her gift is what made me interested in learning to make quilts for myself. Now I am the one gifting sewn gifts to friends and family.
