Hey everyone! Welcome back to another post, and this time we are mixing it up a bit! I talk a lot about creating your dream capsule wardrobe, conscious fashion brands, and curating a wardrobe that fits your style. But did you also know I sew?! And I am currently about to embark on a journey where I sew my own capsule wardrobe! So stay tuned!
After sharing the below Tik Tok, I was thrust into the world of sewing Tok, a place where beginners and masters alike learn to sew, mend, and make all sorts of things. To do that though, you need a sewing machine! A question I received a lot was, “Do you have any affordable sewing recommendations?” The answer is yes, yes I do! Today’s reccommendations are all under $200 and are easy to ship right to your home. Plus at the end, I share my must have sewing essentials!

When you buy a new machine, you’ll probably want to buy extra needles, bobbins, and the works. Always be sure to check the manual to see what sizes you need to complete your sewing set up! The items below are considered “universal”, but again, check the manuals of your machines!
