7 sewing supplies to watch for at back-to-school sales
The only thing I like about back-to-school time are the school supply sales. Glue sticks, crayons, paper, all at rock bottom prices. I can’t resist! There are actually quite a few school supplies that are useful for sewing, and back-to-school is a good time to stock up on them. Jodi from Sew Fearless shares her list of 7 sewing supplies to load up on while they’re cheap. Go to Sew Fearless to see what they are.

The bag is simple, uses very little fabric (about 2/3rds of a fat quarter), has no fussy inside pockets (although you can add your own if you like), and takes me well less than 30 minutes to print the pattern, cut out and sew. But quick and simple doesn’t mean it’s not awesome!
It’s the sort of bag that is versatile enough to be used for lots of applications, not just cosmetics and toiletries. Keep all your pens and pencils in order, use it for a small first aid kit for the car, keep it in your desk at work for a few headache pills and other personal supplies.
Make some for yourself, for gifts or to sell.
I also buy the clear pencil holders that are abundant at this time for circular knitting needle holders.
