Basic sewing supplies...

This past weekend I had a huge clear out, and re-organised my craft room :)

I wish I had done it sooner, it's made me feel so much better...

To help organise my sewing supplies, I bought myself this cute "Polkadot" sewing box, so i thought I would be fun to share with you what's in my sewing box....

 

• Pins
  
• Safety pins (for quilting)
  
• Small scissors
  
• Buttons
  
• Cotton
  
• Seam ripper
  
• Cotton
  
• Embroidery cotton
  
• Pens/pencil
  
• Needles for hand sewing
  
• Point turner - great for pushing out corners
  
• I also have some PP labels ..
  

I also made this cute scissor holder, by using an old pencil pot and re-covering it with some lovely fabric...

I put some wadding at the bottom, to help stop the scissors from blunting.

Another useful tip !!

I use a spray bottle , when I am ironing my fabric, to help avoid getting any lime scale on the fabrics... It is a great way to iron out stubborn creases too !!

 

What's on your essential sewing kit list ??
