Starting your own sewing journey? Whether you’ve been stitching at grandma’s house or just caught the creative bug, this list has everything you need to build your first sewing setup from scratch. It’s designed for absolute beginners. I understand that supplies are expensive – especially if you're starting with nothing – so I have tried to select only what you actually need and the cheapest version of it. For example, eventually you'll want to upgrade this seam ripper to a fancier one as you spend more time sewing but the one I included in this list is so much cheaper. Every item on this list is beginner-approved. Some tools (like fabric scissors) might be skippable if you already have a good pair—but if you're starting from nothing, this list covers it all. Perfect for anyone ready to stop borrowing supplies and start creating their own sewing space. Great as a gift for a new hobbyist too!The bottom 2 rows include more optional things like storage bins, clothes iron.Some links on this page may be affiliate links, which means I may earn a small commission if you purchase through them — at no extra cost to you.

These are shows I’ve attended, and they’re listed starting with favorite to least favorite. I have more I’ll be adding, and some of these I wish I could out all in the same high spot, but for right now this is the order. I use to go to shows alll year long.

This jewelry making starter kit is the bridge: 19 beginner-friendly beads, tools, wires, findings, and guides, grouped so you can start with beads, then tools, wire and clasps, stringing and finishing, and a first finished piece — gather the kit, make your first piece, and wear something you made yourself.

Anime was what I was binging during covid and had a passion for. Now that I retired from the game I just wanted to recommend some that I think were 100% worth the watch out of the 30+ shows I've seen because they are all completely different.

I have tried a wide range of hooks (both standard and Tunisian) and accessories, and I've tried to list my thoughts here.

I've also included the accessories that I use the most often.

Through trial and error, these are the games we tend to keep coming back to when we have a large group of friends or family or gathering. These are the easiest to explain nd get up and running ASAP as not to lose the attention/interest of guests trying to over explain complicated rules. This allows the group to monitor how the rules are followed, instead of having to assign a referee who understands all the potential nuances. That way, everyone gets equal play time and way less stress. Not to mention, these could also be turned into a version of play where liquid courage is involved as either a bonus or a consequence for those aged 21+. When we attempt to learn a more difficult game (like Wingspan), we tend to always end up playing one of these to close out the night. Hope you enjoy the giggles these produce as much as we do!
