OMG! Poor Ralphie! Hope he doesn't get a complex by the end of October! LOL! Seriously.... too cute!
The bias direction of a piece of woven fabric, usually referred to simply as "the bias", is at 45 degrees to its warp and weft threads.
Sewing kit: Look at kits, you get quite a few useful items a bit cheaper... some are kind of cheesey though.
Def a magnet for picking up pins quickly if you drop or spill them.
Tomato Pin cushion w/ strawberry ... the strawberry contains emery dust and you can stick pins and needles in it to sharpen them.
I bought the longer quilting pins... with my old hands I find them easier to handle.
Ribbons, trims and buttons for embellishing.
Hand sewing needles, for things you can't do on the machine.
I have an assortment of measuring devices for making scallops, pleats, and different shaped overlays.
If you plan on using a rotary cutter, you will need a self healing mat to cut on.
I'll be sewing tonight .... I'll post more then. Maybe with pics! Lol! |
