I'm forbidden from acquiring any more pillows (I don't know if making counts, but I'd rather not find out). So any ideas of what I could do?? I'd rather have it be useful than just something ornamental...

How big is the design? What about coasters? A tray liner? border on tea towels used on his bar?

Make a couple of place mats. Or napkins!

I make a lot of pot holders. Just finished some Wizard of Oz pot holders for my grown daughters who love the film.

Excellent suggestion!

I was going to suggest a neck warmer pillow, but seeing as how you're in Tucson, how about a neck COOLER? Or a beer can sleeve or two? Barbecue apron?

Does he wear sun glasses? the Snap bag can be made longer, to hold a pair of glasses in the car visor?

How about a fabric box to keep little items or Cd's........

if he makes his own beer why not mug rugs for beer bottles or glasses or steins

A tray to dump his pocket contents into, or to drop keys, etc
Here is a tutorial -- it's easy to do, you can make it any size you way.

Sweet! great idea! use the beer fabric on the inside so it would show more!
