Practical fabric accessories that can be used as everyday items (1–10)
plastic bottle cover

Many people probably use plastic bottles as a substitute for a water flask, don’t they? Let’s make a perfect gift for such folks: a plastic bottle cover.
Cut fabric to match the size of the bottle, create gussets, and sew it into a tube.
Attach a drawstring and cord stopper so you can cinch the opening.
Next, sew an insulating liner into a tube in the same way as the cover to keep the drink cold.
Finally, make a strap with hardware to wear over the shoulder or around the neck, and assemble all the parts to finish.
Practical fabric accessories you can use as everyday items (11–20)
cloth mask

Why not try making an easy, pattern-free mask? You can make various sizes using the same method, so it’s handy to remember how.
You’ll need printed fabric, bleached cotton (sarashi), elastic, and so on.
First, cut the printed fabric and the sarashi to the same size and sew each piece with a sewing machine or by hand.
Once sewn, place the two pieces together, leave an opening for turning, and sew around.
Turn it right side out, then topstitch around the edge, leaving the ends unstitched.
Thread elastic through the ends, and you’re done.
Try using different printed fabrics to make masks that match your outfit of the day.
chopstick sleeve

Here’s a handmade chopstick pouch idea that can be used by both right- and left-handed people.
Prepare an outer fabric and a lining fabric that form a right triangle with a 90-degree angle, a square piece of fabric, and a cord.
Sew the cord to the tip of the triangular outer fabric and layer it with the lining.
Stitch with a sewing machine past the point where one side exceeds the length of the other two equal sides of the triangle, then press the seam allowance open.
Mark from the edge along the base of the triangle, lift the outer layer, and fold the fabric inward to match the mark.
Align the bottom edges, tuck the cord inside, and sew with the machine, leaving an opening for turning.
Trim the corners where the seam allowances overlap, turn the piece right side out, and shape it with an iron.
Topstitch from the edge, then sew from the back of the pocket with a machine to complete the main body.
Attach a loop end to the fabric and cord to finish a portable chopstick pouch.
trivet

How about making a trivet as a gift for someone who loves cooking—handy for placing pots or kettles on the table? For the fabric, thick quilted material is recommended.
Use a plate roughly the same size as the pot bottom to measure the size, and cut two pieces of fabric.
Then simply sew them together.
You can use different fabrics for the front and back, or even split the front into two different fabrics.
Think about the recipient’s tastes as you make it.
If the fabric curls after sewing, lightly mist it with water and press it with an iron.

A cushion you can place on the sofa or lay under a table.
By changing the fabric type and design, you can make a variety of cushions.
It’s also recommended if you’re thinking of a small gift for family or friends.
You can make it just by sewing straight lines with a sewing machine, attaching elastic, and turning it inside out.
Since it’s easy to make, it should be approachable for those who’ve recently started crafting.
If you love handicrafts, a version with frills around the cushion would be lovely, too.
It would likely be appreciated as a gift for preschool or kindergarten entrance preparations.
