Stuck for what to buy the dressmaker in your life? Or are you looking for things to add to your Christmas gift list as a dressmaker - I talk about some of the things that I have received as gifts over the last couple of years that I've found useful & hopefully you will too.
With the exception of 1 item, I've tried to keep the budget under £100.
Let me know below what your favourite sewing related gift has been & I'll compile another list.
***************************************************************************
I'm challenging myself to make 100 videos to highlight that sewing can be an accessible & relatively inexpensive hobby. With lots of sewalongs, hints & tricks whether you've just started sewing or have been sewing years - Every Day's a Learning Day with sewing 😉
