My Top 5 Must-Have Tools for Bag Making
These budget-friendly tools may be small, but they make a big difference in how your bag turns out.
Precision matters!
-
Air Erasable Pen – Perfect for accurately transferring pattern markings onto your fabric, including seam allowances and placement points for snaps, locks, zippers, pockets, and handles.
-
Small Ruler or Seam Gauge – A compact ruler, or better yet, a seam gauge, helps you place markings with precision, ensuring everything lines up just right.
-
Pointed Tool – Use this to push out pocket corners for crisp, clean edges that give your bag a professional finish.
-
Rotary Cutter with a Sharp Blade – Makes cutting out your pattern pieces quick, easy, and clean—saving you time and effort.
-
Fresh Sewing Machine Needle – Always swap out your needle after each bag project. A new needle guarantees strong, neat stitches that hold up over time.
