Season 1 / Episode 5: Curating Your Sewing Toolkit – Hand Sewing Edition

Ready to thread the needle on your sewing journey? In this episode, we’re going back to basics—and making them beautiful. Rachael and Nikki break down the essential tools every hand-sewist should have in their starter kit (spoiler alert: it’s less than you think!), plus a few fun extras if you’re ready to level up.

We’re also spilling the tea on the biggest beginner mistakes we’ve seen (and made!) and sharing our favorite dos and don’ts to keep your stitches strong and your spirits high. Whether you’re mending jeans, sewing a patch, or just starting from scratch, this episode is your warm, no-judgment invitation to start building a toolkit that works for you.

Let’s stitch slow, stitch proud, and stitch together. 💛✂️
