Which sewing tools and gear does Natasha Nicholes use for her Large Encore Clutch projects?

Hi there!

Based on what I have in front of me, I can see the finished Large Encore Clutch that I sewed using the Dog Under My Desk pattern, but I don’t have a detailed, itemized list of the exact tools and brands I used for that specific project.

Generally, for bag and clutch sewing like this, I rely on:

• Rotary cutter, quilting ruler, and self-healing mat
• Sharp fabric scissors and small snips
• Sewing machine with zipper foot
• Clips instead of pins for thick layers
• Interfacing and a good iron for pressing

If you’d like, I can walk you through a recommended tool list tailored specifically to the Large Encore Clutch pattern you’re using—what pattern version do you have and what fabrics are you planning to sew with?
