I’m always delighted when I come up with a gift for one of the dudes in my life — they are so hard to sew for. My sister-in-law suggested that I make my brother a shoe bag for him to carry his gym or work shoes back and forth.
This was a very simple project. It’s an easy drawstring bag made out of soft grey wool and lined with ripstop nylon to keep wet or soiled shoes from getting everything else in his bag dirty. I monogrammed the bag with a bit of embroidery.
Love this. So simple and classy. AND my brother actually used it!

That’s a great gift. There’s nothing quite so satisfying as seeing someone use something we’ve given them!
