Essential Sewing Items

Here are ten items I suggest you have when starting to sew:

1. Sewing Machine

Just Google sewing machines, there are so many out there. I currently use a Brother SE-400 sewing and embroidery machine, I have had it for 2 years and it is a pretty good machine. It hasn't broken down and it's really good because you can do multiple things like sewing, embroidery and downloading patterns. However again there are so many machines out there, it just depends on what type of machine you like.

2. Thread

Make sure you have a variety of threads. There has been many times I started a sewing project and stopped because I had to go and buy the right thread color. So, to make things easier make sure you get at least the basic thread colors such as black, white, navy blue, tan, and brown. It will stop the numerous trips that you may have to take to the store if you already have them. Or if you want you can also just buy the thread that you need when you buy the fabric, this way is also cheaper. Make sure you get the thread that corresponds with your machine. If you do not get the thread for your machine it can sometimes jam the machine. I currently don't use the thread for my machine and it works just fine however if you find your machine jamming this could be the case.

3. Scissors

This will allow you to cut your fabric. It's imperative that you get some good fabric scissors to make cutting easier and not mess up your fabric. Plus, you will use this every time you sew.

3. Rotary Mat and Cutter

I love these tools, the rotary cutter is just like scissors however it makes cutting easier and faster. It only works with the rotary mat so you have to by both if you want to use one. I definitely recommend, I really don't use my scissors as much as my rotary cutter

4. Rulers

You will need a variety of rulers small and large. When it comes to fabric you will be doing a lot of measuring and rulers are the perfect tool. There are multiple rulers you can choose from.

5. Pin Cushion

Perfect for holding all those tiny needles and pins, that can get pretty messy when you sewing. They are perfect because it helps you keep all your pins in one place.

6. Seam Ripper

Some come with your sewing machine others you may have to buy at the store. Remember what I told you about making mistakes; well this nice tool helps you undo mistakes. It is perfect for undoing seams that you have messed up on or need to resize. This toll is highly recommended.

7. Sewing Box

Love my sewing box it holds all my sewing accessories. This includes threads, buttons, pins, needles, scissors, rotary cutter and much more! When sewing you collect a lot of things, it always nice to have something that has little compartments that help you manage your accessories.

8. Iron and Ironing Board

Your fabrics continue to wrinkle when you are working with them. So you will need an iron nearby to iron them out and make them look nice and neat. You don't want the wrinkles to take away from the overall end look. It is better to iron out your fabric before you start sewing.

9. Something to hold your fabrics

When you start a sewing project it can get pretty messy. You have fabric and threading all over the place and your sewing area can look quite horrendous. So buying a crate or box to put your fabric in really helps organize things.

10. Extra Needles

I cannot tell you how many times my needle has broken during a project, it's quite irritating. So, make sure you go to the store and buy at least 5 extra needles. Most of the time your sewing machine comes with them but as a beginner you tend to break a couple: )
