Economic Crisis 2009 - Stock up on Crafts, Sewing, Quilting Supplies - Learn and teach how to

Posted on September 3rd, 2009 by admin

Discussion explaining to people that they should stock up on craft supplies, sewing and quilting supplies so that they will have materials on hand to make their own clothes, blankets, household useful items. During the coming depression you are not going to be able to go out and buy many items. But if you have crafting supplies already on hand, then you can make your own items.

Some items I would have on hand:

Fabric (material)
thread
needles
sewing machine
batting
scissors
measuring tape or yard stick
buttons
elastic
zippers
snaps
cutting mat
rotary cutter
bias tape
ribbon
yarn
knitting needles
glue
glue sticks
glue gun
wood
tools
nails
screws
bolts
paint
stain
pillow stuffing
paint brushes
crochet thread
patterns for men, women and children in your family’s sizes
iron or press

If you folks have any other tips or items, please share them in the comments section
