- I haven't made one of these sorts of videos for ages so I though I'd share my sewing tools I wouldn't want to be without. These are the sewing tools and gadgets I use every time I sew and include my trusty purple thang, my seam guide foot, my silk organza pressing cloth, a corner shaper tool, my Janome scissors, my Janome embroidery scissors, wonder tape, my rubber ended unpicker, chaco pen and tailors ham and sleeve roll.
Let me talk you through how I use them and why I find them so useful for a multitude of sewing projects and reach for them every time I sew.

I love a good overhead lamp and a mini vacuum cleaner to clean up all the threads and bits of fabric. Not exactly sewing tools but it makes sewing so much easier for me. 👍👍
My favourite sewing tools are my machines 😂 I had been using a very very simple sewing machine for many years but never really ended up making full garments because the results just weren’t worth the effort, time and money. Now that I have better machines the results are professional and I actually want to wear what I make! Life changing genuinely! I know that sounds extreme but having clothes that fit my unique body is honestly life changing… ❤
What brand machines do you recommend
@@kristinkelting8611 I’ve only ever owned a simple brother machine and a husqvarna jade 20 I think it is. I now only ever use the latter as it just makes sewing a breeze!
Great video, thank you. I love my bent surgical tweezers. Pack of 3 from AMZ. I have a pair by each machine (sewing, embroidery & serger/overlocker) plus at my cutting table. I also love my rotary cutters & creative grid rulers.
I love all your products that you showed but also like my little 6 inch ruler that has the little slide thing on it to help measure seems.
Thank you Lucy. I love the wonder tape and have found, like you, it is invaluable when attaching an invisible zip...Grace
I loved that you didn't just show the items but showed how to use them. I love my duckbill scissors as they make grading seams so much easier. I also like my pinking shears when cutting seams, especially with vintage garments to give an authentic look. A walking foot makes tricky fabric so much easier to sew.
Thank you Lucy great tools to have!
I've been using an awl for gathering / pleating fabric. Recently, I've been using very sheer fabric and needed something less sharp asap. Found a blackhead remover tool and worked perfectly.
I'm very grateful that you introduced me to the purple "thang" Lucy, I use it all the time!
Same here.
Love your channel Lucy you are so informative. What is the lovely blouse pattern you are wearing in this episode please?😃😃
Thank you for this tutorial I also think a good iron
I have a silver thimble which fits just right and I love my Japanese quilting thread which I bought from a quilt shop ages ago. I like the products you have shown especially the rubber ended seam ripper.
I have a little piece of plastic with cut outs with different measurements all around the sides which is great, I use it to mark hems etc. Another essential for me is a humper jumper so that very thick seams feed through my machine evenly.
One of my go to’s in an adjustable zipper foot. I use it for regular zips but because it’s adjustable I can move the foot out of way properly to move the zipper pull
Lucy, what pattern is the shirt you’re wearing?
I have the same needlework scissors. Love them and the Chaco chalk pens.
I guess I have large thumbs and can't bear to use little scissors for trimming. I prefer using knippers.
I absolutely need my tracing wheel. Together with a sheet of chalked paper. I would love to find a double wheel to mark two lines at once which is stable enough for accuracy. I have two already but I'm not happy with them. Still looking for good quality.
Also you forgot to link the marking tool (Chaco pen) ❤ I found it easily though…
Whoops! I've just added it in.... Thanks for
letting me know ;-)
Does the Husqvarna seam guide foot work on other makes, I have a Brother ….
I never get the wonder tape to stick well
I know. Some fabrics are worse too. I find it doesn’t stick well.
I use a chopstick instead of the purple thang
I thought about that as a substitute. Thx for sharing the same idea
Me too! 😊
xXX👍👍👍
I was furious when i bought what was advertised as silk organza to use as a pressing cloth and it melted all over my iron
