Favourite Sewing Tools – Part 2

Hi bag makers! Some sewing tools quietly do a LOT of heavy lifting — and these are the ones I reach for again and again. In this video, I’m sharing my favourite sewing tools that I actually use when making bags, and why they’ve earned a permanent spot in my sewing space. This is Part 2 of my favourite sewing tools series, focusing on the small but mighty tools that make tricky steps easier and give a more professional finish.
