Welcome to my comprehensive guide on essential sewing tools for beginners. These are only the must-have tools every sewing enthusiast needs in their arsenal. From measuring and cutting to stitching and finishing, I'll walk you through each essential tool, explaining its purpose, how to use it effectively and buy advice for each.
A few extra words on each tool:
• Chalk - the more colors, the better. But don't go crazy with it.
• Invisible/Transparent Ruler - surprisingly this is the one I want to caution you when buying. I had qualms with the two I used before designing my own sewing ruler.
• Measuring Tape - over time these can be stretched out, thus distorting the measurements. Use em as needed, just keep this in mind down the road.
• Scissors - the right pair of scissors can make all the difference. Fabric shops use large, heavy scissors because they're cutting large rolls. This is overkill for most home enthusiasts. Find a pair that feels comfortable for you.
• Seam Ripper - there are even more ergonomic versions than what I use that seem intriguing. What is the red ball at the tip of the seam ripper? It's there to protect the fabric from being accidentally punctured. Mistakes happen, it's ok :)
• Thread Snipper - optional item, not essential but I really, really enjoy the tactile feedback.
• Sewing Pins - sharp needles for woven, ballpoint for knit. Plastic heads melt but they're lighter and more affordable. I poke myself all the time, so I always choose sewing clips when possible.
• Sewing Clips - these were a game changer for me. I can achieve the same fixing from pins but 10x faster and safer. Also love the colors :)
• Sewing Machine - • Best Sewing Machine fo...
• Sewing Needles - just like sewing pins, sharp needles for woven, ballpoint for knit.
• Iron & Ironing Board - start with a home iron.
Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned pro, having the right tools can make all the difference in your sewing projects. And hey, if you're a beginner learning to sew online, start with this playlist: • Learn to Sew➝ Sewing 1...

When you purchase your ruler, place clear packing tape on both sides. That way the markings won't wear off over time.
Great tip :)
Always check your chalk if it really goes away. I bought one in cheap craft store and after 3 washes it’s still there. I prefer soap for marking. It comes in one color only but if you make a mistake, just a bit of water will help. It’s not a regular soap it’s called tailors soap
That's a really good point I wish I included in this video. It'd be best if there was a way to confirm while buying it in store!
I have been starring at the sewing machine I bought for a year now. After watching a few of your videos I am finally getting the courage to actually use it. Thank you for the motivation!!
YES I'm glad :) Excited to see what you make!!
Ur SO underrated wtf. It’s criminal
I REALLY appreciate the detail between the pins! I didn't even think about those things. Like glass and rounded. I just learned how to use a sewing machine like 24ish hours ago and I appreciate these little details. Cause, baby loves a knit fabric lol
The pins are essential! I started with plastic, had a few melt unexpectedly but it wasn't an issue. Glass will protect against that, but they're also relatively affordable tools. When you have 100 pins, losing 1 melted pin to the iron isn't worst 😂 Glass tends to be more expensive, so they'll last longer against the iron... hoping you don't lose any tho! Imo... either works, but plastic is cheaper haha
Yesss round vs sharp. Same for sewing needles, use a stretch or jersey rounded needle for knit fabric so you won't tear you're fabric. Also if you're sewing knit, some stabilizer helps for lighter fabric to prevent it from dropping through your throat plate (I use tissue paper when needed).
Last lil tidbit about knit, try to cut fabric with everything level/flat. When working on a table, sometimes the fabric hangs over the edge, which stretches your fabric and might lead to a distorted cut.
GOOD LUCK 🤓🤓🫶
The production! Increasingly impressed by your commitment to your craft and your pension for creativity. Your work isn't just useful for those us beginning our sewing journies, but it's dang pleasing to watch too! Way to create an experience. We celebrate you! 😎👏
I just love watching your videos. They're very educational and perfect for sewers at ANY level. Even after 11 years of sewing (self-taught) I am still learning a lot from your videos. Thank you for your content and thank you for being so passionate in what you do. You are awesome! Sending love and greetings all the way from the Marshall Islands (in the Pacific).
Thank you🙏🏻😊
Youre so good at teaching~
Also will keep requesting a video on Fabric Types and how to choose/what to use em for
please please thanks~
Thank you :) That's is next video I'm working on (+ a studio tour)
I love what you do. You're a great teacher. Thank you 🙌🏽
I used to sketch gowns when I was very young. Naturally, never saw anyone do it and didn't know it was done. Then construction and haute couture has fascinated me. I'm 50 and I'm going to start. And you're going to teach me. I want to master hand sewing after mastering the machine. Then ill figure out next route.
Haven’t sewed anything since the 9th grade and I remember always wanting a machine. Today I randomly got the urge to go out and up cycle some clothes I planned on donating and this video was helpful checklist before I headed to the store.
Yesssss it's always exciting getting back into an old hobby. Excited for you, best of luck! :)
I love the sewing machine buckled up in the front seat 😂 and i love your channel. You're an awesome person for all you do to help people get started (and even for us experienced makers, i still learn a lot!)
Hahah had to keep the sewing machine safe!😂 Thank you! I'm hoping experienced makers can find joy in seeing new content in the space even if they're already familiar with the craft 🙏🏻
great explanation!
Thank you, G.A. I've gone up to the attic and re-evaluating my decision to quit my craft. Thank you for that lift up. Keep the videos coming, your awesome. 😊
So helpful!!
Perfect video
Thank you so much for sharing. 🇯🇲💖
Because of your review I buy that Singer HD machine.
Enjoy 🤓🤓🤓
Great info as always! Team clips ftw, i bought the earthtone set. If upgrading for (partially) aesthetics is an option, look into LDH scissors -- they make beautiful scissors and snips in a matte black finish that are the most well-balanced left-handed fabric shears i have ever used. They are an immigrant owned company, and support domestic violence charities. (Not sponsored lol i just really like their product😂)
im going to get into sewing solely for making tactical gear, as im tired of companies charging $300+ for stuff that should realistically cost $120-$200
That industry has such a mark up. You could make stuff for a lot less too.
If you're going to be working with thick nylon, find a good machine/tools that can withstand heavyweight fabric. Good luck 😊
I want custom backpacks bags etc for men. Everyone needs a dozen different types of duffles to small travel bags in different weights and fabrics. Waterproof to luxury.
I learn a lot every time i watch your videos! and always rewatching them~
May I request a video on the basics of taking body measurements?
I cant seem to find a proper tutorial on it
This is a good topic too, though it'll have to come after I create a few more videos to add to my Sewing 101 series :)
Wish I saw the chalk case tip like a month ago LOL LOVED this vid!!
And so true on she seem riper! I hate it so much lol #teamclips
Hahah, might be able to fit the chalk into an old container of some sort. Lol yessss, #TEAMCLIPS, it just makes so much sense
Guy so relatable on day to day w it 😭
Excellent video!!!
Hey @Glory Allan, I thought about it and the 60in is probably great for those who aren't making plus sized garments. I'd love if moving forward you spoke to that or if you've found that you COULD do plus size garments AS A BEGINNER with 60in measuring tape.
That's a great point, thank you for sharing 🫶
Thank you so much, just subscribed to your channel.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤👍
Thank you🙏🏿🫶🏿✅️
make a video about how to sew old money trousers and shorts
Your videos are great! What camera(s) and microphone do you use?
Make a tutorial on how to make a Docker Hat, please🙏🏻
Can I buy the bucket hat pattern without buying so many patterns or the DIY bucket hat kit I like that maybe that should be my first project every
Tools are great where can I buy some skills 😢
Is the juki 4000 a good machine?
Hi bro! I'm from Brazil, I would like you to make THREE PIECE HOOD, SynaWorld style, more specifically "Syna World Neoprene Hoodie"
Not gonna lie! Im just here Allan LOLs
How do you make a 5 panel hat

It’s the second one down.
here it is :) www.gloryallan.com/products/glorious-invisible-ruler
@@GloryAllan thx!
Its pretty well priced too
shame the shipping to the EU is that high
You're adorable.
Hey I started sewing recently to make fursuits and such. There is kind of a limited amount of high quality UA-cam videos on that subject and was wondering if it is something you would be interested in getting into yourself. Relatively speaking there are plenty of furries willing to pay for high quality stuff from a selling perspective. Also might be a good way for you to grow your channel a bit more. Please let me know if you'd ever work with faux fur and going over need to knows and such. I'm sure MANY people would love to watch you learn/ experiment with it if you haven't.
feel like there’s plenty of furry suit makers online, they’re more likely to be in forums than youtube though
UA-cam is global! Do you realize that 95% of the world’s population uses metric?
Yes, it's good to have both! Based off the projects and resources I learned from, I've become accustom to imperial
in the sewing world most patterns, tools, mats and rulers are in imperial measurements. You get used to it and it becomes easier to sew a 1/4 inch allowance than 0.63cm. I also live in a metric country but have adapted to imperial for the art of sewing.
Best pair of scissors I’ve ever bought in 60 years of sewing were a tiny medical pair with a curved tip, meant to be used to cut sutures…totally great to snip out those nearly invisible black-on-black thread mistakes!🪡🧵
