I know, it’s not even October yet. We haven’t even begun to pumpkin, and here I am talking about holiday gifts.

But here’s the thing. If you have handmade gift aspirations, you have to start early. In fact, we might even be a little late to the game here.

So let’s get to it without wasting any more time. Here are five ideas for gifts that are easy and quick to sew.
