The Sewline fabric glue pen and the TrueGrips ruler adhesives go to Jan P., who said: “My favorite sewing gadget is water soluble marking pen with “eraser” tip at the opposite end. I buy several at a time. They are handy for several projects.”

I’d love a kit for doll clothes and shoes. My kids have been begging me to make them some.
Just about anything! I NEVER seem to have everything I need for a project!
Bra
I think a purse would be fun to buy as a kit.
But I like the previous reply of Doll clothes too…
I would lovve a DIY kit that was a carry all bag for when I got to classes or meetups. It would hold my cutting mat and all my tools and necessarry notions! That way I would have my machine in one hand and all my odds and ends hanging on my shoulder!
I would love to get a complete emsemble with skirt,blouse, fancy tee shirt, jacket, real nice pants, full fancy dress .It would have to be made for my petite size, height wise, so when I sew it, it would fit so nicely.
A pre-packaged good fleece material, a zipper, and thread to make an attractive sweatshirt would make a good pre-packaged project for women, and daughters. They would be cute as matching Mother and Daughter sweatshirts.
How about all of the above
