Does my computer count? I use it to craft ALL the time! I print out labels,photos,cupcake toppers, cards…everything!
This may seem simple, but I have some awesome scissors and they make all the difference.
My favorite gadget is my Slice machine! I love that I can easily cart it around with me to my friends’ houses when we want to craft, and I have made SO many projects on it! It cuts fabric, too, so I’ve been able to whip up some cute onesies and applique quilts for my new little lady! Crossing my fingers for this giveaway – would LOVE to have a bias tape maker!!

It may seem simple, but my rotary cutter (and accompanying mat and rulers) has revolutionized my sewing. I don’t know how I have survived this long without one. I thought it was just for quilters (which I am not), but I use it for so many things! I lay two mats side-by-side and place my fabric over the mats and pin my pattern pieces on top of the fabric. Then I use my rotary cutter to cut out even detailed pattern pieces. It’s faster and more precise than using scissors. It only takes a new tool to revive my love for sewing and crafting!
Wow, I love gadgets, right now my favorite and most used is my 5″ sticker maker, being able to run almost anything through and have the adhesive applied makes my tagging and journal projects a snap. I just acquired a mini-serger I don’t know how to use yet, but I’ll conquer it soon, and I’m looking for a ruffle attachment for my sewing machine, so a I can girlie up my apron projects easier! I’m a gadget girl, and would love to add the bias tape maker to my apron making arsenal of goodies. Have to say, I love Tip Junkie…………..hugs, from this crafting junkie…………
