Before venturing into the colorful world of upcycled fashion, having the right tools can make the DIY process seamless and enjoyable. Fortunately, the needed supplies don’t have to be extravagant. A basic sewing kit suffices; here are the essentials to get started:
Sewing Machine: While a standard sewing machine can expedite the process, a handheld sewing machine or even sewing by hand can work just as well.
Basic Sewing Kit: This includes needles, thread of various colors, embroidery floss, and sharp scissors—regular and embroidery scissors are ideal for ensuring clean cuts and neat finishes.
Measuring Tools: Rulers and soft fabric rulers allow for precise measurements.
