Some of My Favourite (sewing room) Things!

It is called Backjoy.
 I have a back that likes to give me heck and this keeps it happy when I try to spend too much time sewing.  


My books of reference and inspiration.  

100% Silk thread.
Do I need to say more?  

Fray Away, magic in a bottle.  

Bias tape maker, might be my most used tool besides my fabric scissors and seam ripper.


Wrist pincushions, greatest invention ever!

    My favorite tool in the sewing room is my glue stick. I use it for everything from glueing buttons down so I can machine stitch them on to basting facings down so I can topstitch them. It doesn't gum up the needle and it washes out cleanly.
