Free sewing kit checklist
What's inside?
The sewing kit checklist consists of two pages of A4 including:
-
Thread basics: Why some threads snap, others snag and some won't change colour.
-
A tick list of tools and materials.
-
Essential vs optional: The must-have tools for hand sewing and mending and the optional extras that will make it all feel effortless.
-
Needle knowledge: Pointy, blunt, long, short, with a large or small eye, and why thinner isn't always better.
Creativity begins where the hand meets the right tool.
Hand sewing is a wonderful pastime and it's surprising how much there is to know about a simple thing like a needle. Using the wrong needle or thread for your project can turn a relaxing sewing session into a frustrating tangle.
This is why I have created a free checklist of tools and materials that every sewing box should contain.
I explain all the basics about different types of thread and needles and what they should (or shouldn't) be used for.
