Father’s Day is quickly approaching…or maybe you are looking for an easy sewing project you can make your man! Dads in particular and men in general, are all difficult to buy for, no? They don't seem to just want things because they are beautiful, like women do.  Men-things have to have a purpose, be useful, or be techie… At least, that’s what we think..

A couple of the ideas were apt for me but I am more interested in ideas for the urban professional man. Perhaps a charging cord keeper project, a travel tie case ( clip ons are more appropriate for children), travel shoe bags, upscale men’s accessories. Thanks
