My FAVE gadget at the moment is my rotary cutter & mat..I am learning to sew and grabbed one of these at the latest 50% off sale at Joanns…its amazing for me considering I cannot cut fabric or anything straight to save my life! 🙂 I am drooling for the silhouettes but dont have one of those yet 🙁 Would LOVE LOVE LOVE a bias tape maker since being a beginner sewer the whole bias tape is a mystery to me and I would love to be able to make my own instead of choosing from the boring plain colors available premade!
I LOVE crafting and can’t wait to work on my next project. I would have to say that my favorite (if I had one) would probably be a cricket because I have so many ideas for when I do get one!!!!! I would absolutely have loved a bias tape maker for the project I just did for my mother-in-law that I have to redo because I didn’t have a bias tape maker and totally messed up on the one I made by hand LOL!
Would looove to use this in conjunction w all the waaaay cool tipjunkie crafts! My fave tool is my paper cutter w/ extra style heads for different cutting patterns! It’s an as seen on tv that really works!
I have been making a lot of hair bows for my daughters and nieces, so my favorite gadget is my lighter and hot glue gun right now. Very basic, yet very important. 🙂
glue gun, for sure!
