In addition to needle cases, scissors, thimbles, and pin cushions, other sewing tools such as rulers, bodkins, clamps, and thread winders can be highly collectible. The most valuable items in this genre date from the Victorian era, the heyday of sewing. Look for whole sets of items, often boxed in decorative sewing boxes or etui cases, and engraved items, which sometimes bear the name or initials of an affluent seamstress.
The sewing tools in the above pictures are: (1) black handled shears, golden tape measure, spool of sewing machine thread, yellow pin cushion with silk pins, and a seam clipper; (2) chalk marking tools for sewing: tracing paper, smooth edge tracing wheel, needle chalk in case, (3) sewing machine bobbins, and sewing machine needles and lastly (4) another pair of bent handle shears on pink tracing paper.
If you're serious about learning how to sew, and sewing professionally, the best place to start is to acquire only the basic sewing tools necessary to complete your immediate project. Then start purchasing those extra items as you develop your expert skills. The basic sewing tools will be your only expenses in the very beginning, while the more complicated sewing tools will become necessary as your skill and interest increases.
Save yourself time and confusion, have your sewing tools or equipment stored systematically in categories, making each item readily accessible at all times. Keep all your marking tools for sewing together, your fastenings, thread and so on in a plastic box. Having them handy will accelerate your work and increase your accuracy.
