Be prepared for Father’s Day with a fabulous fabric gift! It’s time to remember one of the most important men in your life. He’s been there through the bumps and bruises, paid for your room and board and watched you become an adult. Now, it’s time to give back a little and there is nothing like a handcrafted gift that shows you care. Forget all the cheesy ties and the as seen on TV fishing lures why not give him something that was tailored exactly to his tastes. Check out my fabric picks for the fathers below.

Our Fishermen Hooks print would make a great Hawaiian-style shirt for pop. If your dad likes to put on his waders and spend the day fly fishing then he is sure to recognize the ten lures featured on this fabric. The Bomber, Grey Moth, Spoon, Green Drake and Floating Plug lures are just a few that are repeated on this 44″ wide, cotton novelty print.

Maybe you’re looking into freshening up dad’s den for a surprise Father’s Day gift? If he’s a sports fan, then pick up a few yards of our Sports Nostalgia fabric to sew  new curtains, throw pillows or other home decor accessories. Behind the vintage basketballs, bats, helmets and baseballs are sepia-tone newspaper clippings touting team victories and losses.

If your dad enjoys the great outdoors then you need to add our Desert Camouflage Rip-Stop fabric into your cart. I really love the durability of this cotton and nylon fabric. If it happens to get a tear it will not continue to travel across your handsewn gift, due to the extra thread or two that is woven within the fabric. This is a great choice for making outdoor apparel for hunting, hiking,  and camping. Sew a quick drawstring laundry bag for dad’s next camping trip and fill it with survival gear and snacks for a quick, easy and personal Father’s Day gift.
