Threads & Needles: Your Sewing Spine

First things first, let’s talk threads and needles. Just like the bones that give your body structure, these are the backbone of your sewing projects.

• Threads: Start with a variety pack, maybe something in neutral colors to keep it versatile. A few cottons, some perle cotton for embroidery, and metallic threads if you want to add that extra sparkle (hey, we can dream!)
• Needles: Have at least one universal needle and some ballpoint needles for knits. Trust us, they make a world of difference!

Notions: The Little Things That Add Up to Magic

Now, let’s not forget the little things that make all the difference in your projects. Notions are like the spices in your cooking – they add flavor and personality.

• Pins & Clips: Invest in some good quality pins because nothing ruins a project quite like misplaced fabric.
• Foot Pedals: These can make stitching so much easier, especially when you’re working on bigger projects. Think of them as your foot’s superhero sidekick!
• Bobbins & Spools: Don’t forget the bobbins and spools – they keep everything running smoothly.

Fabrics & Patterns: Your Creative Canvas

The real fun begins when you start choosing your fabrics and patterns. This is where creativity comes to life!

• Fabrics: Start with basics like cottons, knits, and voiles. These are easy to work with and give great results.
• Patterns: For beginners, simple patterns from brands like Simplicity or Vogue are perfect. They come with detailed instructions that make it easy to follow along.
