a list of my favorite beginner sewing supplies!
this is the first sewing machine I ever had and works great for a beginner!
SINGER Simple 2263 23-Stitch Sewing Machine, White
hand sewing needles are a must!
SINGER 01125 Assorted Hand Needles, 45-Count
having extra machine needles on hand is so important! You're likely to break a needle every now and then and/or need to replace them when they get dull
Euro-Notions Universal Machine Needles, 10-Pk
everyone makes mistakes, especially as a beginner - so you'll definitely need a seam ripper on hand
2PCS Sharp Seam Rippers with Ergonomic Handles
a good pair of fabric scissors goes a long way - and make sure to only use them for fabric!!!
10" Heavy Duty Fabric Scissors - Right-Handed
little scissors for snipping thread are a must
Beaditive Precision Detail Scissors Set
this is an important tool for marking your fabric for darts, pleats, etc.
10PCS Tailor Chalk Fabric Markers for Sewing
measuring tapes are so important for measuring your body / anything that isn't flat
GDMINLO 60-inch Soft Tape Measure Ruler
these pins are essential for sewing!
2000 Satin Dressmaker Head Pins, 1 1/16"
if you're sewing with heavier duty fabrics (like denim) you're going to want some heavy duty needles for your machine!
Singer 04801 Heavy Duty Sewing Machine Needles
this is the serger I use and LOVE!
Singer 14CG754 PRO FINISH (Refurbished)
once you get more advanced, this is the industrial sewing machine I recommend!

patternmaking
once you've tackled sewing, here's a list of patternmaking materials I love!
once you start patternmaking, this is a great tool for smaller curves like necklines, armholes, etc.
Plastic French Curve Ruler for Pattern Making
this is my favorite ruler for patternmaking and marking my fabric!
Westcott B-70 8ths Graph Beveled Ruler, 12 in
tracing wheels are a little bit more advanced, but if you want to get into patternmaking - they're well worth getting!
Tracing Wheel - 4mm & 2mm Leather Needle
once you start patternmaking, a hip curve is going to be so helpful in marking out larger curves (around the hips) or other parts of the body that have larger curves
Aluminum French Curve Hip Measuring Ruler
this is a bit more advanced, but once you've started sewing and want to tackle patternmaking - this is the paper I like to use!
