I don’t know why it’s so fun to give handmade gifts, but it is. Fun enough that some of us sew late into the night the last few days before Christmas to get the various projects done. It might seem crazy, but thirty years later, I still remember ballet outfit my mom sewed for one of my dolls, so it’s worth it! If you’re looking for DIY Christmas or birthday gifts ideas for the children in your life, here are 25 of the coolest things to sew for kids.
