Twelve Christmas Present Ideas For Dressmakers
Sewing Inspired Christmas Gift Ideas for Dressmakers and Needleworkers
Just what do you buy a dressmaker or a needleworker for Christmas? Well, I’ve been thinking about what I would like for Christmas! So I’ve made Mr ToGather a list! And then I thought I’d share it as a little inspiration. I might just email it to him in case he misses this blog!
All of the following have caught my eye throughout the year, and several come from small suppliers and creatives in the UK. At the time of writing, these all offer delivery (if you’re quick!) before Christmas.
So pour yourself your favourite tipple, whether that’s a seasonal mulled wine or a warming hot cup of tea, and enjoy browsing a few things on my wish list this year.
A Dressmakers Christmas Wish List
Bohin Heart Scissors
Beautiful small, sharp scissors perfect for snipping threads, from Bohin, a brand used by French Couture houses.
A great book bu the founder of By Hand London for budding fashion designers that teaches you how to draft simple patterns based on your measurements.
Every time you make something there’s often a point when you think that if you did this again you would do it differently! And then you forget! Here’s a book for writing down ideas and things that come to mind when you’re busy sewing.

Hopefully if you have someone who is wondering “just what do you buy for the dressmaker in your life?” this list will help point them in the right direction. But most of all, whatever you wish for this Christmas may it be full of joy and happy memories.
