The Pretty-in-Pink Sewing Set

The Pretty-in-Pink Sewing Set brings together five pink Madam Sew favourites for a pressing and cutting corner that looks as good as it works. You get the pink mini iron and its matching pink iron rest, pink 7.5 inch fabric scissors, and two pink cotton thread sets, one in warm pinks and one in cool pinks. It is a lovely start for a new sewist and a pretty upgrade for a seasoned one.

Press seams and small blocks beside your machine, then lay the hot iron flat on its silicone rest between presses. Cut and trim with the light scissors, and choose the thread shade that suits your fabric.

Pretty in pink. Ready to sew.

Why You'll Love It

• The Colour Is the Point: Every piece comes in soft, coordinated pink, so it reads as a set you want to look at, not a pile of loose notions. It is made to live out on your sewing table.
• A Safe, Pretty Pressing Corner: The matching pink silicone rest lets you lay the hot iron flat between presses. It handles up to 482F and has a raised lip to protect your table.
• Press Right at Your Machine: The 5.5 inch mini iron sits beside your machine, with a pointed tip for tight corners, a steam or dry toggle, and a temperature dial for different fabrics.
• Light, Comfortable Scissors: At just 2.2 oz with a comfort grip, the 7.5 inch scissors are easy on your hand, and the snap in sheath keeps the blades safe in a bag.
• Thread in Two Pink Families: You get warm pinks and cool pinks, 8 spools each, so the right shade is on hand whether a project leans rosy or blush.

1. Mini Iron, Pink

• Colour: Pink
• Size: 5.5 inches long, 0.25 to 2.75 inches wide, and 3.25 inches tall, with an 8 foot attached cord. It weighs 1 lb 2.2 oz
• Heat: A temperature dial from low to medium to high, plus a toggle to switch between steam and dry pressing
• Tip and plate: A pointed tip for tight corners and small seams, and a non-stick aluminum sole plate that glides without snagging
• Comes with: A fill cup and a polyester travel bag for classes and trips
• Travel: Dual voltage (100 to 127V and 220 to 240V), so you only need an outlet adapter when you travel abroad
• Good to know: Turn the steam toggle off when you are not using steam, to prevent leaks. It meets North American safety standards

2. Mini Iron Rest, Pink

• What it is: A heat resistant silicone rest that lets you lay your hot mini iron flat, instead of standing it upright
• Size: 6.69 by 4.06 inches and about 2.2 oz, with a 0.36 inch raised lip along the sides and front
• Heat: Handles up to 482F (250C), so it protects your table, ironing board, or wool pressing mat
• Colour: Pink, made to match the Madam Sew mini iron
• Fits: The Madam Sew mini iron and most other mini irons

3. Fabric Scissors, 7.5 inches, Pink

• Size: 7.5 inches long and 3 inches wide
• Weight: Just 2.2 oz (2.6 oz with the sheath), so long cutting sessions are easy on your hand
• Blades: Stainless steel, for clean cuts on lightweight to medium fabrics like quilting cotton and knits, plus pattern paper, ribbon, and trims
• Handles: A comfortable grip in dark and light pink
• Sheath: A light pink snap in sheath, so you can pop them straight into a bag
• Good to know: Do not sharpen them yourself. If they ever get dull, have them professionally sharpened

4. Cotton Thread Set, Warm Pinks

• Contents: 8 cross wound spools in 4 warm pinks shades, 2 of each, at 180 yards per spool, for 1,440 yards in all
• Thread: 100% long staple mercerized cotton in a 50s/3 weight, which means three plies twisted together. It is thicker than a standard 2 ply 50 weight, so your quilting stands out, with less lint and fewer breaks
• Best for: Valentine, Easter, spring, floral, and baby projects, and for piecing, quilting, topstitching, and decorative stitches
• Needle: Use a 90/14 to 100/16 universal needle, and test on a two piece scrap first
