Today we’re setting out on yet another adventure to uncover unique places where you can find sewing supplies. We recently started this series with a visit to IKEA, and now we’re diving into the world of hardware and home improvement stores. You’d be amazed by how many useful items for your sewing projects you can discover at a hardware store. Let me share what I found during my recent exploration.
We’ll kick things off with measuring tools. The hardware store offers an impressive selection of measuring tapes and rulers—everything from small metal rulers to large T-squares. These come in various materials and sizes, and some even cost as little as $1.
Every sewist knows the importance of having a good pair of scissors. Fortunately, you can find affordable and high-quality scissors at any hardware store. Additionally, these stores stock cutting knives and replacement blades, which are ideal for tasks like cutting freezer paper stencils.
For pattern drafting, brown painter’s paper is a fantastic option. This paper comes in multiple sizes and is perfect for creating your own sewing patterns.
Metal washers, specifically the 3/4-inch ones, make excellent pattern weights. They provide the stability needed while cutting out fabric pieces.
When piecing together PDF patterns, double-sided tape is indispensable. It helps align and secure the pattern sheets before cutting.
Spray adhesives are versatile and can be used for fabric projects, whether you're attaching interfacing or stabilizing appliqués.
Canvas drop cloths, available in various sizes, are an economical choice for creating durable linings for bags, outdoor cushions, and even budget-friendly window treatments.
Parachute cord is not only practical for making drawstrings but also serves as a great material for crafting your own piping. Thicker ropes can be used for bag handles.
For storing sewing pins, consider using a magnetic bowl originally designed for nails and screws. Its shape resembles a dog dish, making it both functional and quirky.
A telescoping magnetic wand is another handy tool for retrieving fallen pins. Simply glide it across the floor to collect scattered pins effortlessly.
Metal rings and clips found at hardware stores can serve as purse hardware, adding a touch of professionalism to handmade bags.
Large storage bins are perfect for organizing your fabric collection. Their spacious design ensures everything has its place.
Smaller plastic storage boxes with compartments are ideal for managing bobbins and keeping miscellaneous sewing items tidy.
Hooks are incredibly versatile when it comes to organizing your sewing space. Whether you need to hang fabric rolls or thread spools, hooks do the job efficiently.
Lastly, a magnetic knife holder can keep all your metal sewing tools within easy reach. It keeps everything organized and prevents clutter.
