Do you ever struggle with what to get that special someone, or how to wrap it? Are you unsure of how to show them that you care without spending a small fortune? The solution is here! "You CAN Sew: Gifts for Him" and "You CAN Sew: Gifts for Her" offers many simple, do-able suggestions for handmade gifts from the heart. All you need is a sewing machine, thread, scissors, and some fabric, one or both of these reusable DVD sets, and you are on your way! These DVD sets alone are also great gifts for loved ones who enjoy working with their hands.
When you really care about someone, you want them to feel loved. Showing them by using your skills to create something, with just them in mind, is a great place to begin. Just knowing that they were worth your time and energy is sure to please even the pickiest of folks! Get ready for the heartfelt, ear-to-ear grins you'll be getting because You CAN Sew!

Nursing Cover-Up
Another great project for any level sewer! This nursing cover-up is generously cut for great coverage and certain modesty, but not too bulky or hot for you or your baby. The strap is adjustable for a customized fit. Nurse your little one in comfort and style using your most favorite fabric pattern or colors. Nursing cover-ups are quick and simple to create, yet make great gifts showing a lot of care and thoughtfulness. Video tutorial and printable instructions included.
Decorative Pillowcase
Create your own pillowcase or set of pillowcases with this simple video tutorial and accompanying printable instructions. These make great gifts for baby showers, birthday parties, slumber parties, and more! Decorative pillowcases are also great for seasonally dressing up your bed, or just to give your bed a face lift any day. Children love these because they can choose the fabric, and the design within the fabric which makes it a very special addition to their bedroom. We've even used these AS wrapping for gifts, and they're always a big hit! These are so quick and simple to create, yet show a great deal of thoughtfulness and care.
Baby Wrap (Coming Soon!):
Made out of stretch jersey or interlock material, this is the most comfortable style baby carrier around. Another simple and quick project that any new mommy would greatly appreciate, the Baby Wrap evenly distributes the weight of baby across the back providing a great deal of comfort and longevity making it easy for mommy and baby (or daddy and baby) to spend a lot of time together! A very secure wrap, this one leaves mommy's arms free to do other things; and because of the fabulous weight distribution provided, it can be worn for a long period of time without hurting mommy's back and without draining all of her energy. This item is always a huge hit at baby showers, and as a welcome new baby gift. Simple and quick to create, yet full of thoughtfulness, the Baby Wrap "grows" with your baby too since it is adjustable! (Make sure you have a "stretch" needle or "ballpoint" needle for your machine in order to yield the best results.) Video tutorial and printable instructions included.
