You can also consider adding unique and specialty items like fabric marking pens, sewing machine needles, or a seam ripper.

6. Custom Sewing Labels: Personalize their creations by gifting them custom sewing labels. These labels can be customized with their name, logo, or a personal message. It adds a professional touch to their handmade garments and shows their pride in their work.

7. Fabric Subscription Box: Consider a fabric subscription box that delivers a curated selection of fabric samples to their doorstep every month. This allows your friend to explore different fabrics and textures, providing inspiration for new projects while expanding their fabric collection.

8. Fashion Institute Membership: Look for local fashion institutes or guilds that offer memberships or workshops. Gifting a membership will grant them access to industry events, networking opportunities, and resources like a fashion library or studio space for their projects.
