I don't use other people's patterns and can't think of any reason to mark the fabric, so my 'bottom line' basics would simply be fabric, scissors, needle and thread.
However, I can't remember not having a sewing machine, not ever, and would rather live without a vacuum cleaner than give mine up, so that's staying on my 'must have' list.
