Oh yes. I was spoilt rotten with an Overlocker. I also got in my pressie pile some really pretty fabric weights and some tweezers to help thread the overlocker! My husband was thrilled with my reaction xxx

My daughter gave me this thread holder as I was forever digging around in my sewing box for a spool. Took me ages to hammer in the dowels though! So this afternoon I shall be loading it and at long last having tidy threads!

I was such a lucky girl this Christmas, my other half surprised me with a new sewing machine. I was saving to get one for my big birthday in August this year, I was so overwhelmed and grateful.

I didn't ask for any sewing gifts this year but my husband got me a voucher for my local fabric and haberdashery shop, plus loosely sewing related but I also got a sewing charm keyring from jazz and wow on my sibling secret Santa! Looking forward to spending my voucher :)

I was gifted two more boxes of pattern weights from Foxglove & Field. I found the one box I had wasn't enough and I ended up using pins too which rather defeated the purpose! I love seeing them lined up and they're very tactile. I think the Liberty prints help!

Santa knew my old ironing board was purchased when I was a naive beginner sewist and it was, can we say it - crap. He brought me a 4 layer plush, extra wide, extra adjustable dream board! My daughter, who is a bit cash strapped, went to an antique sale and found a rack with 100 thimbles from around the US.   Only we could undrstand the excitement of getting sewing related tools.  Lol

He also got me a tool box for the Prym Vario tool that he bought me for my December birthday. 
Oh and a friend bought me some small sewing scissors. Blessed 🤩

My daughters boyfriend bought me a pair of electric scissors.  lots of practice needed before I touch any decent fabric with them.

I love electric scissors - we use them for cutting fabric for the boxes and I have used them a few times to cut patterns with long straight lines... wouldn't trust myself at corners though

I need to get them out of the box and use them properly.  I usually use a rotary cutter for longer straight lines but I'm not overly successful on the corners - so will definitely need to practice on straight lines with my electric scissors.

You'll love it. I just tried out on some scrap fabric. Tip is to make sure you understand the right order of the snaps.
