Dressmaker's Starter Set

Everything you need to cut, fit, and finish a garment, gathered in one set. You get the Garment Project Bag to keep your pattern, fabric, and notions together (hang it like a garment bag or fold it to travel), clear Pattern Weights to hold patterns steady while you cut, a Body Self-Measuring Tape for accurate solo measurements, a roll of Fantastic Elastic you can cut to any width, a 44-piece Zipper Set in 22 colors, and 200 heat-resistant Glass Head Pins. It's a practical kit for dressmakers who want their whole project — plan to finish — organized and within reach.

Why You'll Love It

• Your whole project, together — the garment bag keeps pattern, fabric, and notions in one visible, grab-and-go place.
• Cut without slipping — clear pattern weights hold patterns and fabric flat so you can trace and cut cleanly.
• Measure yourself with ease — the self-measuring tape wraps, cinches, and locks for accurate solo measurements.
• Closures and elastic on hand — 44 zippers in 22 colors and a cut-to-width elastic roll cover most garment needs.
• Pins that take the heat — 200 glass-head pins are heat-resistant, so you can press right over them.

3. Take your measurements with the self-measuring tape — wrap, cinch, and lock.
