Before you jump into all the great projects in this book, take some time to familiarize yourself with the materials, tools, and techniques youll need to make the projectsits all covered here. If you have limited experience sewing, read this section carefully and then start with an easier project, such as the Cheery Adult Bib or the Pleated Face Mask with Pocket. If youre an experienced sewer, you can still learn something from this section and get a head start on collecting all the materials youll needplus you may pick up some tricks or get introduced to helpful products that you never knew you could use!

There are thousands of different sewing supplies and notions, and it would take an encyclopedia-sized book to cover them all. Here, I'll address the supplies needed to make the projects in this book. Some, like a seam ripper, are optional. Who knowsyou might be the first sewing enthusiast ever to not have to rip out a single seam. (Spoiler alert: that person doesn't exist.) Other supplies are required to successfully sew from start to finish, and I've included a few non-traditional items as well. I've listed some of my favorites, but there are many different brands available. The one absolute must is a good-quality sewing machine, preferably with button and buttonhole functions, a zipper foot, an edge foot, and the ability to move needle positions. I recommend researching all the top brands and reading consumer feedback. It's absolutely essential to invest in a quality machine if you want to truly experience the joy of sewing.
