It's November, y'all! In an effort to steer clear of too much last minute DIY gift making, I've started deciding what I'll be making for whom and creating lists for a fabric order and trip to the local craft store. Having trouble deciding what you'll be whipping up this year for your loved ones? All November long we'll be sharing our favorite ideas for adding a little handmade holiday goodness to the gift giving season. First up, a handful of creative gift ideas for dudes with fabrics from the Marketplace!
Make a leather wallet + phone case
Physics Illustraions designed by Crafty Scientists

For the dapper dude, create a custom dopp kit
“Fabrics for dudes” and the first design is “physics illustrations”. That’s right: physics is a subject for MEN.
I despair.
what’s with the ‘for dudes’? My mother and sister would love some of these, while my husband wouldn’t have much use for them. Plus the fact that moustache pattern stuff is more popular with teenage girls than anyone else from what I’ve seen LOL
I agree with Ali too – please don’t imply physics is just for dudes. If you’re going to be doing one ‘for girls’ too, I better see some awesome science ones. And not just a bunch of dresses and handbags.
Please please sort suggestions by theme rather than gender stereotypes.
