Notions

When you started to sew, were you self-taught? Did you buy all the things you thought you needed to find out that maybe it was just shiny and didn’t really serve a purpose, or it was just a bad product that you couldn’t return?

Maybe you are brand new to sewing and just looking for a great list of things that are great to use!

When I started to sew, there were not many online lists, there was a lot of blogs to walk through tutorials on sewing, but nothing really about a great list of tools to use. I spent so much money trying to find that perfect notion. So now after the years, I am ready to share my favorites!

Sewing notions? What is a notion?

Sewing notions are the tools that you use to complete your projects. Notions are like a mechanics wrench or a carpenter’s saw. Notions come in all shapes and sizes, along with price ranges! I have put together 10 of my favorites to use. There are tons more for sure, I will continue to post these up throughout the site, updating and adding to other lists!

Now to the Top 10!

OK!! You ready to find some great deals, fantastic new notions, and tools that will help you speed up the process or become more efficient with your sewing!

These are all tools that I now use in my studio or at my home. I back these products at my accord.
