My Embroidery Toolkit
The cool cats over at &Stitches invited us stitchers to share our embroidery tool kits. This is mine.
I carry it around in a lovely zebra print sewing roll made by Mother Spike. In amongst the various bits and bobs you’ll be able to spot some of my main weapons of choice such as strong black thread, Posca and Sharpie markers, a selection of needles including leather work points, a scalpel, a couple of spare bobbins for my floss and a soluble blue pen for sketching my patterns out on fabrics.
Incidentally I find the white and yellow Posca markers really useful for sketching out on dark coloured fabrics – all though you need to be careful as they won’t rinse away like the soluble pens.
Obviously a pair of vorpal scissors are also a must have.
I actually only just got around to making myself a pin cushion this week. This will no doubt very quickly become a staple item in my embroidery tool kit. You can view that in a previous post here.
