There's been several summer birthday sewing projects. Here are a few of them. These drawstring backpacks have been the go-to boy gift this summer. I think we've made up half a dozen.
We might tuck a little gift inside.
Or fill it up with school goodies. These laminated printables are from 1+1+1=1 preschool packs. This little guy's mom tells me his present from us has been the favorite.
This quick rag bag was made up for a little friend. The seams are on the outside, clipped and washed a dried to get a raggedy look.
For the girls, we've been giving puppet curtains too.
So far Bee and Lou are mostly ok with me making the gifts they give. Once we had a busy week and both kids had parties to go to. We did make a toy store run then and another time Bee asked if we could please give her friend a store bought present. I think she was looking for an excuse for me to take her to the mall.

Gabe loves his pack full of goodies! He sneaks it into his quiet/nap time. ;o)
I am not as crafty as you, but I really don't like to give 'toys' for gifts. I'm known as the 'arts & crafts' giver. Playdoh (homemade or store bought), beads, or my recent favorite: Pipsqueak markers and the really big jumbo coloring books (the ones the size of easel paper). :)
