What are MUST HAVE items for a new sewer?
My daughter is a college student.
She's graduating this year, and has shown to have an interest in learning to sew.
I'm THRILLED.
'Til now, there has been no interest.
For Christmas, I have already picked her up a sewing table that will be for her to always keep (it is identical to mine),
and I'm going to let her use one of my sewing machines.
It's about 15 yrs. old (Singer), but gently used.
Once she gets better, I'll let her use this new-to-me old Kenmore that I found (that is like new).
Who knows ... maybe in time she'll develop a love for the hobby (uh hem, addiction ... LOL) & we can get her a new machine for her very own.
My mother in law is going to buy her a pair of good scissors.
I'm not a big fan of "sewing boxes," so I think I'll just go with a rubbermaid type of container.
She can use my cutting mat, but I will buy her a small portable one of her own & a rotary cutter.
I'll put a JoAnn's gift card in her stocking.
But what else can I get her?
