Last-minute gifts that are sure to delight a sewing lover
1. From $10 USD per month: Subscription to Lulu Ferris
There are already more than 130 step-by-step sewing video tutorials available in Lulu Ferris. Baby and children’s clothing, women’s clothing, accessories such as bags and wallets, introductory sewing machine and serger classes, decorative items, toys… Everything!
How do you give this gift? Since we don’t yet have a system for vouchers or gift cards (we’ll get there), here’s what you need to do:
- Think about how much money you want/can spend: from $10 USD per month to a full year for $120 USD…
- Create a really beautiful gift card specifying what the gift is: «Voucher for an X-month subscription to Lulu Ferris. Here you can let your glitter, colors, little drawings, and affection run wild.
- Tip: To avoid giving away the surprise too soon and let the person you’re giving it to use it from the very first minute, wait to sign them up until Christmas Day has passed. But don’t forget—the gift voucher is a sacred pact.
- When you complete the signup process (it’s incredibly easy, really), enter the recipient’s name and email so they receive their user information directly.
- Cancelling is even easier than signing up, and you can do it in a single click. Mark on the calendar when the gift ends.
Pros: It’s a gift you can pay for in installments. Even if you decide to spend $100 USD, you’ll pay it in $10 USD monthly installments, and your wallet will thank you.
If you only give one month because your budget is especially tight this year, you can cancel the next day so you don’t forget. Club access lasts one month from the time you request it, regardless of when you cancel.
Cons: You have to remember to cancel when the gift voucher expires. But in the worst-case scenario, you’ll only “lose” another $10 USD if you let one month slip by—and it’ll make you look wonderfully generous ;)

2. From €15: In-person sewing classes
This gift is only for people in Mataró and the surrounding area. It’s perfect for people who enjoy getting together to sew and learn in a group. Click the following link to see all the January workshops and classes: you can choose from lots of options, including crochet, knitting, and embroidery.
You can choose individual sessions or packages of several classes, which offer better value. If you’re not sure about the availability of the person you’re giving it to, we recommend the creative sewing classes: they offer the greatest flexibility in schedules and days and, in addition, include materials and breakfast!
Pros: There’s a lot of variety of classes and workshops for every taste; it’s a flexible gift in terms of budget because you can give individual classes or packages.
Cons: Spend a little time browsing the classes, schedules, and prices to choose the one that best suits your recipient. Also, it’s only valid at our Mataró location.
