I’m sure we all have a list of our favorite sewing notions, those things that make doing what you love easier and more enjoyable.
I’m a bit partial to certain notions, from what type of straight pins I like to which scissors I grab first to the type of pens and marking tools I prefer, so I thought I’d share my list of favorites. whether you’re looking for a recommendation for personal use or a gift idea for the sewist in your life, I hope this list gives you some helpful ideas for your shopping list.
and don’t leave out a few magnetic doo-dads to help you keep things where they go! I tell you, my magnetic pin dish is a lifesaver.
