Any donations are very much appreciated. You can also send money via Osko to my email address, which is probably faster.
Clover seam ripper ($6.85)
To replace my current one, which was heavily used and is now blunt
KAI seam remover ($12)
It looks interesting. And my current seam ripper is blunt.
Thread snips with a cap ($17.50)
I drop things a lot. My current snips are blunt as a result.
Heat resistant thimbles ($10, medium?)
Because even though I have a heap of bamboo chopsticks for helping with pressing, I keep burning my fingers. Help save my fingers.
Magnetic pin bowl ($12.10)
I have one magnetic pin cushion and tried to make another, but this is probably the easiest option.
Clover silk pins, box of 100 ($9)
Clover fine quilting pins, box of 100 ($22)
Clover pins - quilting, box of 100 ($17.50)
Clover pins are sometimes easy to find, sometimes not. I've gone through a lot of pins this year, and I've found that cheap pins are cheap for a reason. I only buy glass-head pins.
Bulk dipped-head pins ($59.95)
Or this box of 5000 pins. Dipped head pins are pretty good because they're one piece of metal, so the ball can't break off. Prym is usually a good brand.
KnitPro Aqua Sock Blockers (small) - $27.95
Pony Easy Grip Crochet Hook set - $36.95
I used to crochet and I could probably get back into it, but the hooks always kind of hurt my hands. This is apparently the fix.
Patternmaking for Fashion Design by Helen Joseph Armstrong
Don't buy it from the link, it's overpriced as heck because it's an undergrad textbook apparently, but if anyone can find a reasonably-priced second-hand copy that would be great.
KnitPro Zing circular knitting needles (from $8.95)
I'm apparently back into knitting. I like metal needles better because they dont have issues with splinters or breaking. Circular needles are also easier to manage. I prefer the smaller sizes, nothing bigger than a 4mm at the moment.
