What sewing material do I need?

Once you decide to venture into the world of sewing, we encourage you to follow a sewing blog or participate in a sewing workshop close to home to learn some techniques and sew your own clothes.

Depending on whether we decide to sew at home or in a workshop, the material we need will be different.

Learn to sew from home with our online sewing course .

This is the minimum material you will need to renew your closet:

• The sewing kit or sewing kit

There are very basic sewing accessory kits , for less than 10 euros. They will be enough to start.

In them you always have to have a pair of scissors, some needles and pins, a sewing meter, an elastic band, shirt and pressure buttons … and that’s it!

Oh no! We forgot almost the most important thing: the spools of thread!

• Patterns

You can find patterns in specialized books and on various sewing blogs. To trace the pieces that you have to cut from the patterns (either from sewing books or downloaded from the Internet), you will need pattern paper, or tracing paper.

• A sewing machine

The sewing machine is not essential to start with, because you can sew by hand without any problem; But to speed up the process and make more complicated parts, the sewing machine will become a valuable ally.

Buying a sewing machine will be a small investment, but you can always wait for the sales. There are also sewing workshops that you can sign up for and where they will provide you with the basic materials.
