Twelve must haves for sewing

Whenever starting something new, you want to take the time to make sure that you have everything that you need to make it all come together, Hopefully .... if all goes well with ease.
To keep everything easily at hand a bin like the on I have shown is always a help. Even if you have a larger sewing space a smaller bin that holds  just the tools you will need for the project you are going to be working on is a handy tool, I have found. 
Here is a list of tools to keep in your bin. ( the photo shows what all the tools look like so that you will have idea as to what it is that you are looking for)

 Photo left to right (Row1) 1-4 (Row2) 5-7 (Row3) 8-12

3) Pins
4) Bees Wax 
5) Tailors Chalk or marking Pencil, mark be gone pen
6) Seam Gage
7) lager and small sewing Scissors
8) Thimble
9) Thread
10) Seam reaper
11) Turning tool 
12) Tape measure     
These are the twelve

must haves for any sewing box or bin, but I also find that it's handy to have a pencil Sharpener, hand Lotion,  a pencil or pen and a tide Togo pen. I find that it works very well to take put fabric making pens, sad to say they don't always come out as hoped.
Nows a good time to pick a pattern. You want to make sure that you pick something that well both going to be a Challenge and make you feel Successful at the same time. But I'm getting  a head of myself, we'll take a look at starter sewing patterns next time. Till then  keep flowing your heart
