The best sewing tools and accessories

A sewing machine, a piece of fabric and an idea ..
these are enough to do the job..?  many novice seamstress might think... . But that is unfortunately not true. With a sewingmachine, a sewingpattern and a piece of fabric, you can go a long way but you are not there yet.
Let's think for a while: cooking or baking is your passion. A pan, a recipe, the ingredients and let's start cooking. But that is not the reality. In an average household you should not just open a kitchen cupboard, chances are that a load of things will look at you. As soon as cooking or baking is a passion, a lot of kitchen tools are needed and wanted. From spatulas to food processors. They make it easier for you, they give you more options and possibilities and you enjoy the cooking big time.

Sewing as a hobby or passion!
This also applies to sewing. No overcrowded cupboards full of stuff are needed, but we like to mention the best sewing supplies, tools or accessoires. These are simply very useful and make it easier for you. And make you enjoy sewing even more. Of course you do not have to purchase all these items immediately. But put them on your wishlist. Or buy the tools as soon as they are on sale. On the market they are sometimes in large containers, or on webshops they are listed under 'parts' or sometimes under 'haberdashery'. In this case, the following applies: cheap is expensive. It is better to buy a good good pair of scissors than ten times a bad cheap version. And the first option is also a lot more sustainable.

These little sewing tools are BIG friends:     

• a seam ripper (indispensable tool!)     
• good scissors: the golden scissors, pinking shears, small scissors and a wire cutter     
• sewingmachine needles (always have different sizes in stock: silk fabrics, elastic fabrics or thicker jeans, ask for different sewing machine needles than the other fabrics)     
• sewingmachine feet (every sewing machine has a few standard feet, but if you sew intensively, several special feet are a very useful tool)     
• corner and edge former (it's just a small piece of plastic, but oh so handy to shape corners. And many times better than puncturing the fabric with scissors)     
• a pincushion and especially ironing pads! In other words: called Tailor's ham.
