My Sewing Room FAVORITES

Here are some of my FAVORITE sewing room gadgets. My sewing room and the tools in it get A LOT of use on a daily basis. The constant use has given me a lot of opportunity to throughly test many gadets and tools. Here is the coveted list of my favorite tools.

First of all, let's talk about sewing machines. In my sewing studio, I have Janome HD-5050 sewing machines. Should you want to make the plunge, here is a link to where I purchased them at Ken's Sewing Center. This machine isn't always an affordable option for many, so I have found a few that are both great and affordable. All of the machines listed below have speed control and other great features for new sewist or those wanting a simple but sturdy machine. While I don't own any of these specific machines, I have heard great things about them.

Kai (5210) 8" Dressmaker Shears are my go-to scissors. They are affordable and durable. They are easy for both kids and adults to open and close easily. They even make left-handed shears as well.

Frixion Heat Erasable Markers are amazing! After marking your fabric, you simply iron away the marks. With kids, you might even draw stitch lines on fabrics to help them while they are learning, then simply iron away the lines after they have stitched over it. They can occasionally leave "ghosting" on some fabrics, so make sure to test before using.

EverSewn Pin Magnets are a great addition to my studio. They are cute, durable, and easy to use. While I have many different pin magnets, these ones are just my favorite. Perhaps the color just speaks to me.

Dritz Seam-Fix Seam Ripper is a great tool. I like that it is big and easy to hold. The white rubber tip helps to remove the bajillion bits of thread left behind after ripping out a seam. The only thing that would make this tool even better would be if the lid nestled on the back end of the ripper while using.

Dritz Sewing Gauge is very simple and easy to read. This is why this is the clear winner of seam gauges in my studio. Kids can easily see the line to find whatever measurement they are needing.

Sew-ology Sewing & Quilting Pins are my absolute favorite pins. They are super easy for kids to easily use. In the even that one falls to the ground, they are easy to spot and pick up too. Bonus points for being absolutely ADORABLE looking pins.

Janome Finger Guard is a complet finger saver! I cannot recommend this enough. It fits on most home machines and helps to protect fingers from getting sewn. I strongly recommend this for children that are sewing on a sewing machine.
