Answer
Welcome brooms are back in style, I'm making one for for friends this Xmas. Someone here was making one dressed as a bride and a groom. Cute. Dress yours up like a cowgirl.
All you do is take a nice broom, slide a styrofoam ball over the handle down to the broom, do a face on the Styrofoam, give it yarn hair and a hat[the hat gets threaded down the broom handle, too. Then drape the upper broom artfully with clothes with a collar. Mine I inherited from my mother was made of felt, the collar and clothes was intricately folded to look like a fancy woman's shirt, and had a picture 1940's hat. You could make a cowboy hat, and a denim or checkered plaid shirt easily. Make the yarn hair into braids for a western look.
The ones I am making one will be all in white with a woman's version of a top hat, the other will be all in satin green with a Xmas corsage. The styrofoam ball will be painted beige, and the facial features done in felt.
Or do a bunny or a teddy bear in western gear for her. Or put teddy in a western bride outfit.
A western type blanket. Try the fabric store for material ideas, plush acrylic with a cut and tied border. Or go online for an Native American blanket. Or do a patchwork or applique cowboy quilt.
Whatever you decide to give her wrap it in red bandannas sewn together, and find some natural twine for the ribbon to simulate a lariat. Or line a a basket with them.
Make a unique kitchen place mat and napkin set with bandannas. Even make a tablecloth, napkin rings, or table square [one that is smaller than the table, and turned sideways on the table for decoration]. Make hand rolled flowers out of gingham check or bandannas, for a centerpiece, or the bow on a gift, or for the napkin rings.
Make a teddy bear out of gingham or bandannas.
The tablecloth and napkins would make a really neat picnic basket too. Go to Michael's for a picnic basket, line it yourself, include the tablecloth and napkins, and search around for plastic picnic plates and glasses and silverware in a cowboy theme or matching color. Even kitchen towels or potholders.
Check the patterns at the fabric store for ideas.
A cowboy/chuck wagon/cookout cookbook.
A dutch oven or a cast iron skillet.

Any one have some craft ideas for Cristmas gifts that can be sewed?

I used to sew quilt and pillow sets for fun. It takes no time, and they're a gift you can put a lot of yourself in to. Also, I take old band shirts, cut them up, and sew them into more 'modern' styles.
