just a quick list of essentials.. for your sewing kit!
scissors (that you only use for fabric!), pins, seam ripper, small (tiny) screw driver, small brush to clean the machine, tape measure, yard stick, 6" ruler, 12" ruler, pinking shears (optional but helpful), pencil, sewing machine needles, thread...
and a decent sewing machine that sews... straight and zigzag stitiches, machine bound buttonholes (I like a 4 step buttonhole) and has a free arm and zipper foot! you should be able to make anything with your basic machine! if it has a few decorative stitches even better!
remember to keep your "fabric scissors" just for fabric... guard them from everything else... only fabric!
hope you all get to do one thing you love today! I'm off to cut the lining for my new jacket & then sew all the interfacing!
