Top 10 Tools for Sewing:
For this month I thought it would be fun to show you the ten tools for sewing-things that I think anyone who sews absolutely needs!
Here they are in random order:
Of course you need lots and lots of Pins (and it helps if they are pretty):
I use it a lot, it’s a tape measure:
A nice, sharp pair of sewing scissors.
(Truthfully, I think you need several of these because it’s easy to misplace them):
I also like to have some tiny, sharp Detail Scissors:
There’s nothing worse than running out of thread in the middle of a project, so you need lots of thread in every color:
2 things to make cutting straight edges easier, it’s good to have a rotary cutter and cutting mat:
I love having tons of extra bobbin cases so that I can have them ready in every color:
And of course you need a pin cushion. My favorite kind is a magnetic one:
And…of course you need fabric!
Now, I know that you probably have many of these things but I think it can be great to have multiples of many of them! One lucky winner is going to get a box with all of these supplies (including several yards of fabric) shipped to their door!
Want it!?

This is the best challenge idea ever. I can’t wait to get started. And as long as it’s the sewing theme, it might as well be the theme for everything in my life this month. Thanks, Amber!

Amber my dear, I just love your site. You gave me many ideas and a massive positive energy and courage to turn my passion for sewing to a small scale business. I’m an Egyptian mother of two kids.
I shall check your site every now and then for new ideas.
