Londa's Picks for 'Artsy' Sewing

These are my favorites for my 'artsy fartsy' creative sewing!  These items ADD TO Everything from this LIST.

• Fabric Chenille Brush - beats any toothbrush for transforming bias into amazing trim
• Slash Cutter - for quickly slashing all but the lower layer of stacked fabrics stitched on the bias for chenille
• Spinster - to twist threads into plyed yarn for trim
• Beading Needles from Clover - obviously, for beading
• Nymo Thread - strong for beading that beads won't cut 
• 360 Degree Turnable Hoop from Clover - a hands-free embroidery hoop 
• Perfect Pleater from Clotilde - the 'lampshade' fabric into which you shove fabric to make pleats
• Fasturn Set - not only to turn different sized tubes, but moreso to turn and STUFF them all at once!
• Color Wheel - just because!
• Synthrapol - a gentle detergent that serves to fix and trap any migrating dye during washing

PLUS Fabric - most especially stripes of any type (cut on the bias, they are amazing) with an eye for all textures for variety, buttons or every type, old jewelry, belts, purse parts, leather, UltraSuede, decorative threads and more decorative threads - especially heavier types, yarn with character.
