Fabric Store + Sewing

I’ve hand-selected fabric for Spool of Thread like it’s my own sewing project for over 15 years, and our newest arrivals are no different. Our new fabric is for rebels, sewists and seamstresses with a goal to sew better clothes. They want to make clothing that extends beyond what they can find in shops. Get the perfect fit, colour and style by sewing your own. Find the newest arrivals on our website, spoolofthread.com.

It’s ok to iron your patterns! In fact, I do it all the time! Be sure to use a low heat setting so you do not scorch the paper and take time to ensure the edges of the pattern are laying flat as you iron. Prepping your pattern that’s been packed away, folded and wrinkled really helps keep everything flat, smooth and your cutting on point. The goal is to ensure the fabric piece you cut is as accurate as possible!

We’ve all dealt with dull scissors, which are such a pain to discover when you just want to cut your pattern as quickly as possible and START. SEWING. But, have you noticed other sewing tools can be dull too? Be sure to keep your pins, seam ripper and rotary cutter in good working order too, so that the next time you get to sew, your tools won’t slow you down. Gotta keep that seam ripper sharp! 😆
