I often get asked where I source my sewing supplies from. I try to list them in each video tutorial, but I’ve compiled a list below of the most common small tools and supplies I use for bag making. Some of these links might not be appropriate for your location but hopefully it will inspire you to try some new tools and search for them in your local area.
Some of the links are affiliate links but all the products listed are items I use regularly for making bags and ones I’d recommend if you’re looking for new tools and supplies.
Awl (to guide fabric when sewing curves): https://amzn.to/3wmoTd7
