My Favorite Things

Today I want to share with you a few of my favorite things that help make my sewing and reenacting just a little bit easier. ย For the most part, these items are simple in nature, inexpensive and relatively easy to find. ย But donโ€™t let their simplistic nature fool you, all these are immeasurable in their usefulness! ย I have also done my best to link each item mentioned. ย I hope you enjoy!

PART ONE – My Favorite Sewing Things

  1. ย Moldable Ruler
  2. Mary Ellenโ€™s Best Press
  3. Fiskars Thread Snip Scissors
  4. Fiskars Sharpener
  5. Thimble
  6. Dritz Small Iron
  7. Wrist Pincushion

PART TWO – My Favorite Reenacting Things

1. . Basket

2. Notebook

3. ย Stockings

4. Fleece Leggings

5. Quilted Petticoat

6. Shawl – I used this pattern.

7. Handwarmers

 

As I mentioned above, none of these items are all that fancy. ย But I have found them to be true workhorses and my go to items. ย As you begin to build your own sewing and reenacting tool kits, take note of what works and doesnโ€™t work. ย And while we always want to be as accurate as possible, sometimes a little modern cheat can make a difference between freezing or enjoying your event!
