Must-Haves for Dressmakers
Not sure what to get a keen dressmaker for Christmas? Or want to start on your own me-made wardrobe adventure? We asked lovely DIY dressmaker, blogger and Instagrammer Carrie, what she recommended for dressmakers...
Must-haves for Dressmakers
Fabric Clips
Clips are a great alternative to pins, especially on more tricky fabrics - they're also so quick and easy to use.
Rotary Cutter
Scissors can be used for cutting out, but switch to a rotary cutter and you won't regret the clean and even cutting you get with your patterns!
Pinking Shears
These are often an investment piece of kit as they aren't cheap, however they make a quick job of clipping curved seams to take out the bulk!
Prym Snap Pliers and Snaps
I love these two - they are a super fun way to inject colour and interest into a garment, without too much effort.
Vanishing Fabric Marker
An essential for your sewing kit - I couldn't be without one!
