Starting your sewing and upcycling journey can feel overwhelming when you're not sure what tools you really need - So I want to make it simple for you, having the right tools makes all the difference. Here’s a basic sewing supplies list that covers all the essentials you need to build your sewing starter kit, each item is linked to my german amazon shop:
SEWING MACHINES
If you're going to be sewing a lot of denim, leather, or other thick materials. This one is the best in between a family machine, and an industrial one.
W6 1235/61 €149
A really good machine to start, if you're in Germany and want to buy a new one.
Second Hand Ebay Kleinanzeigen €50-€80
If you want to learn or revise how to thread and master your sewing machine, check out my tutorial.
SEWING TOOLS
Marking and Measuring
Measuring Tape (get 2 cause you'll lose one at some point)
Cutting
↪EXCLUSIVE FOR FABRIC USE!
Threads
Needles
Accessories for Machine
If you buy a second-hand sewing machine, it will likely come empty. This is what you need to get for it:
Screwdriver + cleaning brush + tweezers
Zipper footer
Invisible zipper footer
This basic sewing supplies list covers all the sewing tools for beginners that I recommend. Having these tools ready will make your sewing and upcycling projects smoother. Remember, the right tools help you focus on creativity instead of frustration.
