With Australian’s celebrating Father’s Day on September 2 this year, it is time to get started on some Father’s Day projects for the Dad’s and Granddad’s in your life! Here is a round-up of 10 Project Ideas for Father’s Day (or Christmas gifts for guys!)
1. Contempo Doorstop
The Contempo Doorstop is perfect for anchoring a door in your study or around your home. It can be made up in fabrics to suit your Dad – team colours; or using typography fabric. You can find the pattern in our Etsy store.
2. Golf Towel
A Golf Towel is a great gift for the Golfer Dad! You can find our tutorial here.
If your Dad loves to travel, make him a Luggage Tag. It will make it easy for him to spot his suitcase on the baggage carousel.
4. Passport Protector
A Passport Protector is also a great gift for the Dad who travels. It can hold two passports and has clear plastic pockets. You can find our tutorial here.
5. Peanut Pillow
The peanut pillow is a great gift idea for anyone with a neck condition or who loves to travel. It is a handy size, with a carrying loop, and is perfect for road trips or for relaxing at home. Make it up in Dad’s favourite colours. You can find the pattern in our Etsy store.
6. Patchwork Coasters
Patchwork Coasters are great for the Coffee Lover Dad! Made with natural linen and a strip of patchwork, they make a useful gift. You can find the tutorial here.
If your Dad loves his coffee, make up a jar of his favourite flavoured beans! You can find the technique here.
9. Family Picture
Frame a treasured Family Photo for your Dad. Use fabric as the background to the photo.
10. Gifts from the Kitchen
Make your dad his favourite treats – such as Tomato and Chili Relish; Apple Sauce; Lemon and Passionfruit Butter; Mandarin Marmalade or Jam.
Hope we have been able to give you some inspiration for Father’s Day projects! What is your favourite gift to make for men?

Awesome ideas – I love the family picture and condiments idea, though I think I may be making the car bin for myself as well!
