Cricut! Where would we be without that invention!
I have been having fun making fabric roses and gluing them onto hair clips. No time for much else these days.
My 1933 Singer Featherweight Sewing Machine. Love it.
My favourite crafting gadget has to be either my husband or my reading glasses lol; but seriously, the older I get, the more I appreciate the simpler things – like a needle threader. A lot of the things that I have I would not consider gadgets, like my electric stapler, my glue gun, double-sided tape, my folding cardboard dressmaking fabric-cutting board and so on, but I wouldn’t give any of them up. However, the one thing I would KILL for is software that would take any dressmaking pattern and re-size it to my size!
Oh my goodness. I so needed this last weekend…I make 180+ inches of bias tape. It took me about 15 minutes to get it all ironed!!
My favorite craft tool is my sewing machine. Sometimes we have a love/hate relationship, but I love all the stuff I can make with it!!
