Hi .Britney, new subscriber here. Why, good lighting, nice speaking voice, great smile and no gratuitous TH-cam music. 👏👏👏.
Oh wow! Thank you so much! Welcome to my channel!
I bought a dozen various colors of seam rippers just like your blue ones, on Amazon for about $6/dozen or so, I put a couple in Christmas gift boxes for sewing friends. You can buy a multi-pack of snips also (Penta Angel snips) for between $7-$10. Depending on the seller, you can buy approx. 50 or 100 wonder-type clips on eBay for under $10. Same with measuring tapes and sewing machine needles on Amazon. If you have friends that sew, a box of misc. sewing items like these make great gifts during the holidays. Love your videos! ✂🪡🧵
I think a beginner needs:scissors, straight pins and safety pins, chalk (Dollar Tree chalk!), tape measure and yardstick, scotch tape.
Excellent suggestions! Thank you!
Why scotch tape. The dollar tree has the sewing chalk!! Mental noted.
@@rachelhobart573 I use tape when I adjust my patterns, for example, too lengthen them.
One tool I use often is tweezers. They're great for pulling out basting stitches and also threads from unpicked areas. The cheapo tweezers work fine. Have a great New Year Brittany! Love your videos!
Love that! Thank you for sharing!
First sat at a machine at 9 years old I’m now 73 my fave 5 are shears tailors chalk a pocket knife pins and ruler to keep my pattern on the straight.
Wow!!! 73! That’s amazing! Thank you for sharing your favs!❤
Excellent video. This newbie needs information like this.
Love it! Great list. My top tools are the same with 1 addition. I use a ceramic bowl or tray to collect smaller items such as presser feet, bobbins, pins, clips, etc. Kind of a project catch all that keeps everything together since I sew at the kitchen table and do not yet have a dedicated sewing set up.
Happy New Year 🎉❤
Lol I like spooky Brittany!
🤣🤣
Happy New Year Brittney! My top 5 sewing tools are: 1. Measuring tool(s), tape measure, designer measure with curve on one end, quilters measure 2. seam ripper 3. pins, particularly quilters pins but also glass-head pins for fine gauge fabrics like silks. I find that the quilters' pins being a heavier gauge wire can pierce thick fabrics and/or layers without bending. 4. scissors 5. iron. Pressing IS sewing.
Just wondering about your comment about not including a measuring implement in your top five. How do you deal with putting the pattern on grain when laying it out on the fabric? I realize that some schools of thought say that putting certain pattern pieces on grain (like blouses, tops, skirts) isn't necessary, but when it comes to pants, if the pattern isn't laid out on the grain of the fabric, the legs might be twisted when cut.
For me, (an old sewist at this point) I find that establishing the grain for the pattern pieces doesn't take long, and ensures that the pieces are cut on the straight of grain.
Love your videos Happy New Year..
Happy New Year and thank you so much!
For new subscribers it would be helpful to provide Amazon links or your recommendations where to buy supplies. I live very rurally and helpful to have links to order online. Love your channel! Looking forward to your next video!
Hi Kathy! That’s an awesome idea! Thank you, I’ll have to make a note to update the description box! Thank you!
Thank you ❤
Hello Brittany! Love your videos! Thanks so much for sharing. You have accomplished so much in your 10 year sewing journey.
So proud of you!😊😊😊
I've noticed that you can use a rotary cutter on the folding banquet table (from Costco or others) without mat. The scratches are almost invisible and the surface is large and at a good height. Cutting mat are expensive, never fit the table, and get damaged/dirty very quickly especially the big clear ones.
This is awesome feedback about those tables! I hope someone tries this because you’re right, mats are pricey!❤ thanks you watching!
Great video, Brittany! My top 5 are the same as yours, although I also have paper cutting scissors. I appreciate your emphasizing to beginners that it's not necessary to buy everything at once-but as someone who has been sewing for many years-ya gotta have multiples.😁😁
What brand of shears did you show? I love the way they look!
Thanks for sharing information. I’ve learned a lot from you. I’ve only been sewing for about 1.5 years. I hope I can get as comfortable as you are one day. You are so right about so many tools. It can be very expensive. My Iron! I use it every time I’m sewing.
Great video, thank you!I think the clips are called Wonder Clips?
Yes! I knew it was another word! Lol Thank you!
I love this video! The frixion pens….are you using these for marking fabric and if so how does it come off?
Did you 2 close your fabric store.. are you going to do more videos❤
from mrs: Great vid! I agree on your list. Many of these items can be purchased at Walmart, Dollar tree for cheap. I use a small tool box to keep them organized.
I'm the same way.lol
Happy New Year. I use each of the tools you mentioned with the exception of the chalk, I use marking pens and I do use my measuring tape and rulers.
I was scared to have magnets around my sewing room because I have a computerized machine. Maybe it's okay to use? What do you think Brittney? She'd I get the magnets cushion for the pins?
Hey Kendal. I have magnet pin holders but I don’t have them near my machines. Also I saw your other comment. I appreciate the feedback. I’ll be more clear in upcoming see alongs.❤️
@@brittanyjjonestv Thanks for the feedback, I love you my Christian sista! But, I'm so new to sewing, I need every detail. I will be joining the MiMiG's Academy on Pattern making as well as other courses as soon as I can. Thank you so much for your advice! ❤
Can I ask what sewing machine you use?
