If you’re not sure what you’ll need to start sewing, then these recommendations are for you. Sewing Essentials for BeginnersTape MeasureA tape measure is a convenient way to measure just about anything. These tapes are flexible and easy to wrap around different items to get accurate measurements. The travel-friendly tapes have easy-to-read numbers and measurement markings, and they roll up into a compact size for effortless storage. Sailrite offers both 60-inch and 120-inch flexible tape measures to suit all your DIY needs. Clear Acrylic RulerThis versatile ruler can team up with a marking tool to scribe accurate lines in multiple angles on your material. It also acts as a straight edge for a rotary cutter, helping you get clean cuts every single time. The clear acrylic makes it easy to see your material and line the ruler up wherever you need it. And with measurement scales on all four edges, this ruler is perfect for right- and left-handed DIYers alike.

You can also draw curves or straight lines a set distance away from the edge of your material, thanks to the lipped metal end that holds the ruler against the material edge without slipping or moving. And when you press the metal end along a hem or crease, you can create sharp folds.
