Apart from the
typical sewing items, I also
have......
......pegs to help hold things together.....
....sticky tape for when I need a
thimble - the metal ones just DON'T work for me...lol...
....clip seal lunch bags to store project pieces in....
.....talcum powder for when hands feel sticky, or oily....
.....cotton wool sticks - handy for removing water soluble fabric marking lines....
...and not forgetting.....

If only my basket included photography skills...lol... :)
What do you have in your sewing basket that you can't do without?
Happy crafting, Jenny
Mmmm, I don't have a sewing basket as such Jenny but if I did it would have, other than the usual stuff, at the very least:
ReplyDeletemy blue and black scissors & mini snippers
a water soluble fabric marker
one of my fav pinkeeps
a metal ruler and craft knife
and definitely a stitch ripper!
No doubt I've left out some very important items.
Had to smile at the magnet! Very handy I must say, but not something I would have ever thought of! x
I have a pen and extra pair of scissors... not as interesting as your sewing basket. :)
ReplyDeleteInteresting!
ReplyDeleteI would never have guessed these items were for your sewing basket!
At first I thought, How unusual!
but you are right...they would work!
I love my thimble...in fact I featured HIM today...come by and visit!
as far as what I can't live without..I'd have to say pretty piles and piles of sewing notions and pretty thread...and anything that makes me drool, tends to collect in my sewing basket!
I really should get a magnet..that's a great idea!
thanks

I have a paper glue stick that I use to keep something in place until I stitch it. It works great for quilting projects and applique.
ReplyDeleteI don't really have a sewing basket, it's all in drawers and boxes in my sewing room. My mum and I were looking for a piece of chalk the other day, she needed it for her lawn bowls. The first place I looked was her sewing basket and there it was!
