As Makers, we love to have all the latest tools and techniques to keep us evolving and creating! I’ve been a Maker for some time now and have worked in and around the Sewing and Quilting industry long enough to see many of the newest and latest trends & notions on the market. I have divided this Gift Guide into several categories. Whether you are looking for everyday essential Tools, a great Pattern, Notions, Equipment or simply some inspiration – There is a little bit of everything for every Creative Person. Let’s dive right in!
Cutting Tools
This is the time to take stock of what you have for essential, everyday tools. What items do you use everyday that might be getting worn out. Does your cutting mat have deep grooves or do your rotary blades need replacing? Have your rulers seen better days?

Whatever the case, click on the images below to get a better idea of this products and how you can use these for everyday sewing or quilting.
