Essential Sewing and Crafting Supplies

Essential supplies for sewing projects

I get lots of questions about what tools I think someone who sews or crafts needs. I have plenty of supplies in my sewing room. Some I like, some I love, and some products are ones I'm brand loyal to. The only products on this page are my favorite, brand-loyal products that I use. You could walk into my sewing room now, 10 years ago, and 10 years from now and find these products in there.

So what supplies and materials (besides fabrics, of course!) does it take to make all the sewing and craft projects you see here on Deb's Days and in DebsDaysDesigns Etsy shop? It's a big list.

The Friday 15

“Simplicity is the peak of civilization.” 
– Jessie Sampter

If I had my way I would live off the grid, away from everyone and everything. Only own 100 things and have no extra of anything. While we've done a good job with cutting out the excess, every time I film a tutorial I wind up with extra "stuff". 10 years ago I probably would have kept everything I made.

But not now. The items either go to my mom, my daughter, or to the donation box. Sometimes it is hard to let them go because I really like what I've made but other times it is easy. It does get easier every time a Friday 15 comes along.

1 eBay item
1 big pile of extra elastic
1 big pile of extra hook and loop tape
A whole big bunch of tutorial items
Some miscellaneous things I used for patterns

And that makes 15. Easy peasy!
