	Assorted Hand Needles Hand sewing needles come in different sizes for various types and weights of fabric. You can buy a variety pack to have multiple options. I usually choose a medium-sized needle that slides easily into the fabric and has a big enough eye for threading.
	Glass Headed Pins Hold your fabric pieces securely in place whilst sewing with dressmaking pins. Opt for medium-sized pins that are simple to handle, yet strong enough to secure multiple layers together without any fuss. I prefer glass headed pins, as plastic headed pins and irons are not friends!
	Embroidery Scissors A good pair of embroidery scissors is also incredibly handy for trimming threads and essential for making small detailed cuts.
	Seamstress Scissors Dressmaking / seamstress scissors make cutting fabric so much easier with their super sharp blades and angled handles that help you get clean, precise cuts every time - no fraying or wonky edges, just professional-looking results!
	Sewing thread Moon thread is an excellent basic sewing thread suitable for both hand and machine sewing. It is available in 150 colours and offers great value for money, making it perfect for building your collection to ensure you have every colour you need for any sewing project.
