Sites about Sewing in General
Shop for Sewing Notions
- Pattern Tracing Paper -- Keep your patterns in perfect condition by tracing the size you need exactly to tracing paper. It saves you money in the long run by preserving your patterns.
- Seam Rippers
-- I know, you don't want to think about it, but really, they're you're best friend. A good seam ripper can mean the difference between just removing a mistaken seam or tearing apart the fabric as you try.
- Scissors -- Many folks recommend Fiskars ™ scissors for that professional feel at home.
- Thread -- Whether you need serger thread, or prefer a special brand, you can find it online.
- Sewing Ribbons - Grosgrain, satin, wired, feather edge, you name your width and find it all online. Decorative accents on your clothes make them look truly unique and elegant.
- Pins -- I like the round ball point type. Easier for me to grab out of the pin cushion or remove after pinning a seam.
- Sewing machine needles and bobbins -- I like to keep some bobbins threaded always with white, black, and dark blue thread. Then I also try to keep two bobbins threaded with whatever color of thread my current project needs. I don't like to stop in the middle of a seam to wind a bobbin. It's also a good idea to keep extra machine needles around in case one breaks.
- Sewing kits -- Some of these would make really good beginners sewing kits. I like the looks of the Dritz Start-to-Sew kit.
- Buy Singer Sewing Machines -- I sew on the Singer 3343 machine.
- Clothing Labels - Nationbright is leading manufacturer of hang tags, clothing labels including Garment, Woven Label, Printed Fabric & Fashion Labels, Die Casted, Paper Pocket Flasher Label & much more.
