The Best & Most Essential Cutting Set!
If you only buy one cutting tool setup, make it this. The Fiskars 3-Piece Cutting Set includes a rotary cutter, self-healing mat, and acrylic ruler - everything you need for fast, accurate, and easy fabric cutting. Rotary cutting is smoother, faster, and way more precise than scissors, and this set makes it simple to measure and cut in one step. The mat holds up beautifully over time, and the ruler helps you line things up and cut straight over time. I’ve used this exact set since I started sewing, and despite what the sewing snobs say, it’s not just “good enough” - it’s EXCELLENT. Efficient, durable, and totally worth the investment.
The Most Helpful Tiny Seam Ruler!
If fractions make your head spin (same here!), this little seam allowance ruler is a total game-changer. It’s a small 2" x 2" acrylic ruler with tabs on each corner that show the exact widths of ¼", ⅜", ½", and ⅝" seam allowances — no guessing, no counting tick marks. You just rotate it to the tab you need, and you can instantly see what that measurement looks like. It makes sewing feel more intuitive and way less mathy. I honestly use it constantly when planning seams or spacing because it’s fast, visual, and foolproof. Not only is it great for seam allowance measurements, but it also helps with other small-scale measurement scenarios, such as boxing out corners on a mini bag. It is totally one of those tools you don’t realize you need until you try it.
The Most Convenient Cutting Mat Extra!
This little rotating cutting mat has honestly made cutting small pieces so much easier for me. Instead of constantly picking up my fabric and trying to turn everything around (and accidentally shifting my pieces), I can just spin the mat and keep cutting in the direction that feels natural. Mine is a 12" x 12" self-healing mat that rotates a full 360°, has clear angle and measurement markings, and a soft, non-slip base that keeps it firmly in place while protecting my table. I also really like that it comes in fun colors and different sizes, but this size is perfect for the small accessories and pattern pieces I cut most often. If you do a lot of small projects, this is one of those simple tools that quietly saves time and makes the whole cutting process feel less annoying and more enjoyable.
