Scroll Saw Designs Make Applique Patterns |
When you need something for crafts, quilting or sewing, you
probably head to the nearest Hancock or JoAnn Fabrics, Michaels or Hobby Lobby.
Interesting and useful crafts and sewing supplies are available elsewhere --
places you may not look.
For example, Harbor Freight has a 4-inch and a 6-inch
magnetic parts holder that’s ideal for pins and needles. You can also find
measuring tools -- like a T-square -- that are handy for quilting, and a plastic
lightweight pick up and reach tool that saves lots of bending over when you
drop something.
Lowes and Home Depot have similar tools that work for
crafting, sewing and quilting. The scroll saw books have simple shapes easily
adapted to appliqué. A metal tape measure works better for large projects than
a yardstick and is more accurate than a cloth tape. Staples has an inexpensive
paper cutter that works well for paper crafts.
The next time you’re at a home supply or office supply store,
look at the possibilities for your crafting or sewing supplies. You’ll find useful
items not available in the crafts or fabric stores.
See you next year.
