Five Star Gift Ideas

For your daughter who loves DIY fashion and upcycling clothes, I have a few thoughtful gift ideas that will inspire her creativity and support her passion for fashion.

1. Sewing Machine: A sewing machine is an essential tool for any DIY fashion enthusiast. Consider gifting her a reliable and versatile sewing machine that will allow her to bring her creative ideas to life. Look for one with different stitch options and features suitable for different fabrics.

2. Upcycling Supplies: Encourage her upcycling projects by putting together a gift basket filled with materials she can use to give new life to old clothes. Include items like fabric dyes, trims, patches, buttons, and fabric glue. Bundle it up with some plain t-shirts or thrifted clothing pieces as a starting point for her upcycling endeavors.

3. Fashion Design Sketchbook: Help her bring her fashion ideas to paper with a high-quality fashion design sketchbook. Look for one that includes croquis templates and has space for notes and fabric swatches. This will allow her to plan and visualize her designs before bringing them to fruition.

4. DIY Fashion Books and Magazines: Expand her knowledge and inspire her with books on DIY fashion and upcycling. Look for titles that provide step-by-step instructions, patterns, and design ideas. Additionally, consider subscribing her to a fashion magazine focused on sustainable fashion and upcycling, which will provide ongoing inspiration for her projects.

5. Sewing Classes or Workshops: Enhance her skills and give her the opportunity to learn new techniques by enrolling her in sewing classes or workshops. Look for local options that offer classes specifically geared towards upcycling or DIY fashion. This will not only provide her with valuable knowledge but also offer a chance to connect with like-minded individuals.

6. Personalized Sewing Kit: Create a personalized sewing kit with all the essential tools she needs. Include quality fabric scissors, measuring tape, sewing needles, pin cushion, thread, and a variety of different colored threads. Consider adding a handwritten note with some encouraging words about her sewing journey.

7. Fashion Design Software: If she's interested in taking her sewing and design skills to the digital realm, consider gifting her fashion design software. There are various applications available that allow users to create patterns, design garments, and even virtually try them on. This will open up a whole new world of possibilities for her creativity.

Remember to consider her skill level and preferences when selecting gifts. A thoughtful gift that caters to her love for DIY fashion and upcycling clothes will not only encourage her hobby but also show her that you support and appreciate her unique talents.

Or you can get her a star map with the date when she was born.

Luann Skinner says about Under Lucky Stars star maps:

“I ordered the star map 8 days before my daughter's birthday. It arrived in 7 days just in time for her birthday. Thank you! She loved the star map.”
