Sewing Machine
This is the machine I use: https://a.co/d/gHUYXNp
There are so many amazing machines out there! Some popular brands are: Singer, Brother, and Janome
Fabric
There are tons of small business fabric stores out there plus thrifting is a great way to repurpose fabric
My favorite places to shop: Spoonflower, Etsy, Hobby Lobby, Fabric Wholesale Direct
Thread
Investing in high quality thread makes a huge difference and is so worth it!!
https://a.co/d/a63m9BT - this is a great option for getting a variety of colors!
https://a.co/d/8hIM1KA - for white thread (they have so many other options too!)
https://a.co/d/6JwtLzl- Filling bobbins is the most tedious task, this will be the best $20 you ever spend
Iron & Ironing Board
I got mine off of amazon! There are tons of options out there!
https://a.co/d/ewBt29q - I also loveee my mini iron!!
Rulers & Tape Measures
https://a.co/d/9pe8AIM - Big rulers like this are a game changer!
Extra Needles
https://a.co/d/hzpqbQj - A bulk pack of universal needles is a great option. Just make sure they are compatible with your machine.
Clips & Pins
https://a.co/d/89xH6Kl - These clips are so much easier to use than pins
https://a.co/d/hHnabGM - Still good to have standard pins on hand too
Hera Marker & Quilting Bar
These are for my my quilters
https://a.co/d/5BaY17J - Hera markers are used to crease your fabric and create a guide for sewing straight lines
https://a.co/d/j24EIkw - A quilting bar is another great tool that attaches to your machine and helps you sew straight lines
Seam Rippers
https://a.co/d/ixThlga - Sewing comes with making mistakes and this is the easiest way to undo a stitch
Fabric Scissors
Don't use these scissors for anything other than fabric!
https://a.co/d/3vZWlZY - These are the scissors I have
Rotary Cutter & Board
https://a.co/d/fm4HSJV - Game changer for cutting fabric
Chalk
Perfect for marking spots and lines are your fabric because it easily washes off
Safety Pins
Super helpful for turning straps right side out
Magnetic Seam Guide
https://a.co/d/27X8BZB - So helpful for controlling seam allowance and sewing straight lines
Overall, learning to sew takes time and patience but having these tools will set you up for success! YouTube is your best friend when learning to sew and there are thousands of helpful resources online for free!
