Basic Sewing Kit
Basic Sewing Kit
This kit is offered at cost price. I have gathered all the essential tools I know to be decent quality for a budget friendly price and taken all the hard work out of sourcing these individual items yourself.
There are a few optional upgrades for scissors and other highly recommended tools I consider to be extremely useful when starting your sewing adventures.
What is included?
- 1 x Dressmaking scissors 8-10" long cutting blades
- 1 x small pair of snips,
- 1 x paper/craft scissors (for cutting paper patterns)
- 1 x flexible tape measure 300cm long,
- 100 x glass head pins & magnetic pin tray
- 1 x spool 1000m thread* to match your fabric,
- 1 x pack (5) machine needles - size 80/12 (universal, medium size)
- 1 x seam ripper,
- piece of tailors chalk in white & 1 other colour
- 1 x seam gauge
- assorted sizes of hand sewing needles (in a felt wrapper, not a box)
Optional Upgrade:
- Upgrade to Professioal heavy dressmaking shears (metal handle instead of soft touch plastic handle) Cutting blades are approx 8-8.5" long depending on availability
Add Ons
Add the Basic Kit to your cart first then return here to add on these extras individually
- Add on a clear acrylic ruler 24" x 6.5" for easier pattern adjustments
- Add on set of 25 sewing clips - these are ergonomic & ideal for use instead of pins when working with bulky fabrics and seams
If not sure which colour will match your fabric, choose a neutral light or dark shade which will blend in with the dominant colour of your fabric.
These kits are a pre-order item created especially for my sewing students. I create the kits in batches of 5 at a time so they'll be ready to collect from my studio for your first lesson or workshop with me. Choose the 'Local Pickup' shipping option at checkout.
If you would like to order a basic sewing kit sent straight to your address, please choose ' Standard' shipping ($12 within Australia)
Allow 2-3 weeks for the kit to be created before it can be shipped plus approx 1 week delivery time within Australia
