Sewing Stuff: December 2016

Over the last couple of months, I’ve seen some things on the internet and instantly feel in love with them because they are sewing related.

I’ve decided to share them with you because, well it’s just nice to share isn’t it?

First up are these monthly sewing boxes  …

There are full of goodies and can have a theme.  They can be a one-off or a monthly thing too!

 

Next up are these rather cool wooden vintage bobbins from Pedlars …

As some you of you know, I love a good sewing book – what’s better than something to hold all these sewing books?  Well, it’s of course, a sewing machine bookend!

I didn’t know how useful these were for ironing out the darts until I used one at my class just recently!  Found one similar to the teacher’s here –

Talking of ironing I intend to put an iron board up in my sewing room but lack space for a big one, so I’m going to get this wee one from IKEA!

Now – sit down, this may bowl some of you over!  Soap dish and sewing, surely not.  Get a suction one, attach it to the side of your sewing machine and you can keep tabs on the seam ripper and fabric marker!
