Basic Sewing Kit









Here is a supply list of items that are handy to have for each class. You will also want a small notebook to write down all those great ideas!

A cigar box or basket makes a great container

• A sharp pair of scissors

• Tiny scissors for snipping threads

• Xacto/craft knife

• Cutting mat

• A variety of threads in various colors and weights (i.e. embroidery, sewing)

• A packet of needles of various sizes

• Tape measure and ruler (12 to 18")

• Straight pins

• Pin cushion

• Thimble, if you like using a thimble

• Buttons, trims, ribbons, etc


Don’t worry if you don’t have every item, we all share – it’s the revamp way! Scissors can be multi-purpose type, they do not need to be special fabric/sewing shears.
