I'm not sure if this would be considered a sewing accessory; however, your zipper instructions on the wristlet pattern are my "go to" instructions for any bag zip installation. They are easy to understand and always look great.
BTW, this new e-pattern is fabulous!

Not for sure what to pick - a simple item would be the rotary cutter. Thanks for the chance to win!

my laptop! I just open my e-pattern folders and start sewing. I just the pattern pieces and don't bother to print the tutorial. I don't have to worry about losing a page or have stacks of tutorials lying around.

A cup or bowl of various sizes. I use them to make circular edges on improvised patterns.

Heavy-duty washers from the local hardware store....at 50 cents each they are cheap, plentiful, and the best pattern weights going! The best part is, if I misplace them, it is cheap and simple to replace them.

My favorite sewing accessory to use is pins. I don't know how people sew clothing without using pins.

My favorite accessory is my tailor's awl--it gets where my chubby fingers need to go but can't (as in close to the needle) or shouldn't (as in near the iron).

Definately my little embroidery scissors. Great for snipping threads close, clipping curves, getting into tight spots. Luv the pattern Leah.

For an actual sewing tool it would be my rotary cutter and mat. For a non-sewing item it would be my trusty chopstick used for pushing out points or turning straps.

I love my little pin "pillow", the one you stick your pins in when you're not using them.

the iphone works great for easy access to a tutorial, it's small and doesn't get in the way like the lap top.

second try!!! LOL

i guess my favorite sewing accessory would have to be my wonderful bernina ... i purchased it last year, used -- it was a choice rather than a new *plastic* one -- and every day, i learn something new that it does .... i love it .... my chopstick, too, for those pesky corners!

My favorite sewing accessory and the one I use the most is my curved tweesers. They are great to pulling the thread thru the needle, pushing tight little corners out to a perfect point and so many other little things. Great give away!! Me email is...hovis1971@yahoo.com

My favorite sewing accessory is my pair of forceps. I use them to stuff things, to turn things, to pull needles through thick fabric--I couldn't live without them! They are very easy to use and quite versatile.

I love my Roxannes Glue Baste It, I love the stuff and use it on so many things, from holding down binding to hand-sew, to zips, to scout badges, it's like having an extra couple of pairs of hands!

Something I use very much are old Xrays. I clean then in bleach and then use them to cut out templates. They are great to use and a way of recycling too!!! Happy Hollidays to all!!

My fav piece is the re-inherited butcher's table we got from a cousin. I no longer have to bend all the way over to cut my material now :)

I think my favorite sewing accessory is my seam ripper. Is that wrong to say? When it's needed I'm so thankful I have it. I used to always use one of those tiny ones that only makes you hate the task of ripping seams all the more. I finally bought one that fits my hand nicely. I love it!

Sweet Coin Purse Tutorial for Teacher Gifts

This time of year is so special to me because I get to show my gratitude for all of the hard work that goes into teaching my daughters. I love to make handmade gifts and this year is no exception. Since money does not grow on trees around here, I looked at my stash (I keep my scraps in hat boxes ) and tried to see what I had a lot of; small zippers, trims, Peltex strips ( from making iPad cases ), fabric scraps and some hardware for key fobs. So I set to work.  Materials: Plastic multipurpose 5" Zipper  Fabric Scraps Lightweight interfacing 808 Pellon Trims (We clipped  key fobs  with 1.5" swivel hooks onto our coin purses . There are tons of tutorials on making key fobs .) Step 1: Print out the Coin Purse Template  PDF.  Cut 2 main fabric, cut 2 lining and 2 interfacing using the template.  Optional: Cut a 2"X2" square of your choice main fabric or lining. This strip of fabric is used to clip a key fob to your coin purse later. We used a 1.5
