Sewing Notions
A small collection of Schmetz needles, KATM woven labels, A+R buttons, LDH Scissors and Gütermann thread to complete your handcrafted garments.
A+R Buttons will join the line up in late DEC2020! If you're looking for the perfect replica for traditional horn buttons for your next chore jacket or linen dress, we've got you covered with our range of neutral resin buttons.
Schmetz are our needles of choice. They have been the leading manufacturer of quality sewing machine needles since 1851. They offer uncompromised quality, with a needle for every project. View the colour coding system here.
Sohmo produces some of the best pins we've had the pleasure of working with. Owned + operated by Melbourne local Sonya Morris, Sohmo offers quality pins + clips to suit every sewing project. The curved basting pins are a quilters dream and the entomology pins are wonderful for use with our silks!
Kylie and the Machine create some super fun and functional woven labels for all of your handmades. Be it for your next Wiksten Haori or quilt for your sisters new babe, we have the label for you!

In 1990, LDH Scissors was founded in Shenzhen, just outside of Hong Kong, by a young couple who simply needed better quality sewing scissors. Built with Love, Dedication and Happiness, the company has been serving the sewing community ever since.
