Here are the things you need before starting any sewing project.

• Worklion cutting board 24″x36″.

I like this board as it is sturdy, soft, and double-sided.

• Bienfang Sketching and Tracing Paper 24 inches x 50 Yards

The quality is good, it is soft. It says it is suitable for pencil, pen & ink, and markers.

• HLZC Fashion Clear Metric Sewing Ruler Set, French Curve Pattern Making Ruler Kit for Designers (4-Piece Set)

They are very thin rulers and extremely lightweight. I tried them, and they did their job. However, taking the cost into consideration, the flimsiness is to be expected.

• Elf t-shirt

It’s winter dress-up at my daughter’s school this week and next, and it’s exciting every day. Today is Elf Day. so, we went to Hobby Lobby and purchased a green t-shirt, a red, black, and orange felt sheet, as the pack we had did not include yellow, and a few little jingle bells. She helped with the design and sewing. She wore it with stripe pants.
